Thought I found a right bargain, two Cobra Classic seats for £165, turns out they're just Cobra Classic 'Style' :(

    Im fairly certain mine arnt genuine cobra classics, but eveyone who sits in them instantly says how comfy they are! And I agree, never had to stop because of discomfort on a long journey, plus they look pretty much the same :D Heres a pic of mine for comparison :) http://s625.photobucket.com/albums/tt337/tamiyaman2/Patches The Mini/?action=view&current=108_0196.jpg

    going to get it on A2 I think, I'd like to try design/sell posters eventually so just made this whilst mucking about - plus I already designed the line drawing of the mini a while ago!

Mini is being squashed in to a corner of the garage and barricaded in behind my motorbike - won't be opening the garage door for 3 months - sad sad times :(

    My mini is ditched from parking it at work next to a very busy road, but I can't think of anything worse than going outside and putting my hands in water.

What's the normal running temp on a 3-clock gauge? Mine was running just over half way up the gauge - petrified of overheating now after recent fiasco!

    If your heater isn't working it's possible you have an air lock in the system, that'd make it run warmer than normal too.

    I let it run capless for a bit and my heater is now working :)

    Taken mine off about 5 times for various jobs! It gets easier... Do you have a drainable rad? I dont, get soaked every time I take it off!

Does 100nm of torque sound right for the wheel nuts on a Jaguar XJ8?

I wish 1275cc engines weren't so much... looks like it'll be another 998 for me!
