Hi everyone, I’m wondering if anyone has any advice for me with this please. I have RA & stupidly last July thought it would be a clever idea to order a Mini Cooper. I was unable to test drive it as it was the new electric model & the garages round me didn’t have any to see in person. I test drove the normal one for only 5…
