Hello there! I'm a total newbie to your fine forum - I'm bound to be asking your advice many times over the coming years as my little Cooper is always being a little 'tempremental'!

Cheers in advance...

Here she is! My little beauty - the bumper needs a bit of work I know and there's all manner of things going on under the hood and inside. She is a 'zombie' mini, I mean she was brought back from the dead by a very able local mini mechanic after an exploding dif ended her first life. A few panel replacements and engine rebuilds later she's in the best shape of her life.
And if you look closely at the first pic you can see me taking the photo!

Nice to meet you all...

In Girum Imus Nocte Et Consumimur Igni

Wossit mean?

[GigaDave]

Ummm... It means 'At night we enter the circle and are consumed by fire'. I'm not a goth or anything it's just a cool palindrome! (It reads the same backwards as forwards)

[GigaDave]

Nice! Mine's a 1275 SPi, and after the rebuilds S stuck with a 4 speed box but put a cross pin dif and central oil pickup pipe in. Just to avoid any future 'mishaps'...
