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¤t=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!

Half way up the gauge is NORMAL

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 :)

Water pump, bypass hose + lower rad hose all replaced - what a nightmare!

Just experienced removing a sidemounted rad for the first time - I have no fingers left.

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!

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