Anyone on here own a mini in Prescot, Merseyside? Go past one every now and then, and always wondered. :/

Why do people buy cars, especiallly new cars, then complain/grumble about the running costs. GRRR. If you can't afford it, then don't buy the damn thing.

I don't think I've actually heard anyone moan about it to me to be honest.

MPG figures seem to sell cars. A shame really. :(

The one that gets me is people who complain about how they are getting taxed due to their company car. If you weren't paying the extra tax you would be paying everything for the car.

Went there for my stag do years ago. Threw it down, spent more time going backwards over grass then on the tarmac. Surprised we're all still here... Have to go again ;)

It will be getting the suspension properly set-up at some point. Caster, camber and toe are all out, and would like it to handle like a mini should. I still think the metro drive flanges have caused some positive camber though. :/ Thanks for your response. It was annoying me quite a bit.

Why don't you have a go at setting it up yourself? Because I was messing with my ride height every five minutes I decided to give it a go. A couple of tape measures, a digital level and flat, level ground and its transformed my handing.

I would rather take it to a mini specialist, such as Bill Richards, to set it up properly. :) If it was just toe in/out I would do it at work, but I can't set caster or camber accurately.

Guess the mini isn't getting worked on today. Put the trolley jack underneath and it started raining. GRRR! :(

I'll wait until it stops raining. Hopefully tomorrow will be a nice day. :/

No Anthony! Don't even think about wanting a straight cut gearbox, or drop gears. :)

Got to get it back on the road first. :/ Went to this years MITP in the Astra, so really need to get it back on the road, and take it to some mini shows. :) I miss driving it so much.

I refuse to work on the mini in the rain. GRRR! :( I was hoping for a sunny weekend to work on the mini.

Minispares adjustable rear camber brackets any good? :/ I will also be buying some longer track rod ends, as it appears to be required.

Yes that's right. I'm fitting adjustable bottom arms and tie rods. :) I will do the back when I get the car set-up.

I have them installed on mine, had no issues so far. KAD will be better but more expensive. Depends on your needs.

I need a kit that will just bolt on, no messing around. :)
Aug 20 2016 02:53 PM

What I'll do is try and fit some parts to the mini, then put it back in the garage so I can order some more parts, so I can to fit the parts I was fitting in the first place. GRRR! :(

Yep. :) Good to see you spending time with your grandad. Reminded me of my grandad. He only attending bingly and the lytham run, I think, but ALWAYS helping me fix the damn thing.

Astra washed, hoovered and filled with petrol, ready for MITP tomorrow. :)

Anyone close to Rainhill, Merseyside got a spare seat for MITP? Don't fancy driving all that way, on my own, in the Astra. :/
