Hello
My name is Carl, and I live in Livingston, Scotland. I am also known as Boab (out of the 'oor wullie' book) as the folks here tend to pronounce my name as Carol due to them rolling their r's.
I have lived in Scotland for the last 21 yrs and have picked up the Scottish twang.
I recently bought a Mini from a girl in Bristol, drove it all the way to Edinburgh, went to work in it the next day only for it to breakdown with a very bad rattle and loss of power. It turned out to be the big end bearings. Another engine was sourced and fitted. Only problem I have now is that it will only run with the choke fully on.
I have taken it off the road for the winter and I'm in the process of rebuilding the interior as it was pretty gairesh, carpets were poorly fitted, the dash is a one piece aluminium mish-mash of clocks that don't work. The dash is being renewed and built by myself at the minute, so it is going to be a busy couple of months.
Hope to speak to some of you soon.
Cheers for now
Boab
