That's a nice reminder, I reused mine and said I was going to replace it. Better buy some (I seem to have lost a big bag of them)

There are malleable so yes they can be reused if its not obviously fractured, so if you dont have one to hand then the one removed can be reused

Noooo not anymore thankfully. I could never write neatly, but was never picked to type my exams :( I don't like exams them selves. how 1 mark can be the difference between success and failure!

Lucky you, no one is a fan of tests and exams. I agree, it isn't really the best way to assess what someone knows with a 3hr paper. That said I can understand that it would be much more challenging to test each person individually with big classes.

I think if I'd had more than one wheel stud snap I'd be changing them all out as a precaution. If they are all the same age, matl spec, heat, etc & have seen same service conditions.

Vinay-RS

Yeah, mini-auto, I did that on the other hub earlier. They were probably overtightened at some point in the past. Might be worth replacing all the studs on all the wheels for piece of mind.

well done fella

Vinay-RS

Thanks :), yeah I was quite worried before the start
Apr 08 2015 05:51 PM

Vinay-RS

Yeah and no one will know the difference... ;)

You can be the designated driver. At least 5 people crammed in your Mini.

Haha I completely forgot about that! :D

Is that the one which you need a colour theme for?

OEW with a black roof? Looks killer on the mk1s

more like a few bits of data from some software that chucks out tonnes of data of which a large percentage is completely useless. Basically the pictures that I have saved look crap :(

I use Camtasia now to put together a lot of presentation videos. Just a screen capture and editing facility. It's dead easy to use. I know they offer a 30 day completely free trial which is really handy.
Mar 17 2015 09:10 PM

Vinay-RS

never heard of it. I'll check it out. Not sure it'll help in this case as this data is for a report :P

Haha, there are enough loose things on my mini :P

guessing a car cover is a bad idea
Mar 15 2015 10:44 PM

Vinay-RS

Yeah there is currently a discussion on the office whatsapp group (includes the bosses) to help come to a solution.
Mar 06 2015 08:39 PM

Vinay-RS

It appears a solution has been reached. If people leave dirty dishes in the sink they will be washed and locked away. If they leave dirty tupperware in the fridge they will be binned :)

Just learn from Alan Partridge's presentation for Dante Fires (and don't impale your foot on a spike beforehand) :-)

My mate has 4.5" reverse rims on 165s on his mk1 cooper and they look sick!
Feb 27 2015 08:45 AM

Vinay-RS

what is the standard width? 3.5"

Not a clue mate, I like the way my 12"s sit with the arches, flows nicely but so tempted on banded

...my house. There was one about 300 km out of town two weeks ago, but I didn't go as I was not comfortable driving that distance in one go. Some guys drove 1600 km from the other side of the country for that show!

Yeah I think they all get a tshirt or sumthin so 15 a year isn't overly much. I think that's it, I love all styles and shapes, mines a LE 30 but no way I'd think about classing a "normal" mini as lower than mine or whatever - there's so many styles, editions etc out there & all just as loveable! Blimey that seems to far away! Some people do go miles & miles for them, unsure if I could to be honest - I'd be deaf and end up rattling as much as the car...
Feb 23 2015 06:28 PM

Vinay-RS

Ooh a limited edition! Yeah mines a bog standard 1275E (Local model). Some of the guys have really nice rare models, one guy has two mk1 cooper Ss! Some people have minis that are in quite a tired state, but we still love it when they come on the runs because they are our friends :) Yeah same here I cannot imagine driving that distance in my mini, though if it was in convoy and we stopped every 300 or so km, I think it would be a fun adventure.
