Yeah but I'm presuming thats the London one, I'm in Huddersfield and on a student budget so it's not likely to happen :')

Hmmm, I think if I won the lottery right now, those Monaro VXR8 Bathurst editions would be at the top of that lottery win list! You can keep your Lambo's n Ferrari's, I want some V8 Aussie Supercharged sideways action!!.. First thing I would have to do is remove any traces of Vauxhall branding on it however!

if your cars ever been waxoiled underneath &got any on your fuel lines the rubbers will perish ???
Sep 19 2013 08:13 AM -
minimaxie
That's a possibility, I don't think it's ever been waxoyled hence my need for a new floor soon :( I think I've narrowed it down to the fuel pipe in the tank (again) it got replaced the other day but I don't think it had been done up tight enough

Sparkle sparkle, BRG Metallic looks gorgeous in this sun now I've waxed him

Far too nice outside to be stuck in an office with opaque windows when I could be out bombing down some B roads! A blast after work should cure my blues :)

Should have the Mini back this week (fingers crossed) New Falkens will be going on, get the tracking sorted. Should feel like a brand new Mini again!

Haha, perhaps but I think I've "marked" him enough already. Would have been nice to get a few miles driven while complete.

True, well at least you can make steady progress as and when, once you have a new car to use as the daily :)

Very true, won't be feeling so pressed to take a short route to completion now. ^^

Yeah been looking on ebay for a set. The 944 or 928 ones go for a bit cheaper but not by much :/ I've sat in my uncles old Boxster Targa years ago and I can vouch that they are super comfy

My wipers keep going off on their own accord even though they're not on?! Every little bump or jolt in the road sets them off. Anyone shed any light? Checked the wires at both the motor and switch, doesn't like anything wrong. In other news, looking forward to L2B!!

could be a faulty park switch on the back of motor its the part that the wiring plug pushes in to
May 27 2013 07:47 AM -
minimaxie
Is that the plug that connects onto the motor itself? Its very difficult to get to if it is being an mpi lol

park switch is faulty or not cliped in properly, to replace you need a lucas one the copy ones are crap
