Ha ha. He was a complete idiot, knew I was there and pulled out as I was next to him-dread to think if I'd hit him at 50mph I'd be in trouble so would he!

Correction - if he'd hit me!

Yeah any accident is not fun, regardless of who is at fault

Sounds worse than here! Although swerving round a motorbike that pulled out onto the side of me 10mins ago wasn't fun!

Oh that can't have been fun. It annoys me that motorcyclists do that. I dont think they understand what self preservation is

Unlike us mini people :) "we are the self preservation society"

Yeah, I actually think about what I will do with mine if I moved to a different country. I think I would take the little guy with me. I agree though, a limited edition mini deserves to be preserved and it can get expensive if it is your daily. Though a lot of people do use minis as daily drivers with limited problems.

She's got her cover which goes on everynight & is quite sheltered on the drive but would be nice to have a "jump in and go" car for the school/work runs everyday. She's had a few hiccups this year but nothing major touch wood, got some paintwork bubbling up so think get her in a new home to get sorted restored properly then have a mini as a 2nd car that I can mess about with how I want. So much character in a mini we all get attached!

That's not too bad, I bet the bubbling paint can be touched up quite easily. Also it is possible to do small mods and keep all the original bits so that it can be easily brought back to original condition.

Sump plug? Though that is more central. How much oil is it losing?

Rocker gasket would be my bet. Would be a cheap and easy fix if that was the case.

Cheap and easy sounds good! Afraid she'll be moving on this year so someone can make her lovely again. Last night to this morning was about a 6cm circle on drive, have put plastic sheet underneath so will see in the morning again

Mini Cheddars

£20 per hour? Bloody hell, that's cheap! I pay £60 p/h at a Mini specialist!
Dec 24 2014 04:16 PM

firstmini

Sorry not been on, yeah £20/hr is awesome, he only does minis - he's a bodywork bloke really but sorts all my mechanical probs too as I tend to just turn up & he'll sort it there and then :)

Mini Cheddars

That's madness! Can he open up a garage down here as well? :D

I used to hate him but then he died and i felt bad about it
Dec 21 2014 04:03 PM

Vinay-RS

Why do people do that. It's not like he became a nice person when he passed away.
Dec 21 2014 04:05 PM

True...

Maybe it is a very popular page. Yeah I can understand the need to control access, but surely not during an off peak time.

Dec 13 2014 04:19 PM

Vinay-RS

Haha, it's not that bad. I do enjoy the driving and usually trying to find new noises and squeaks :P

Strange how we get into a routine, good or bad. Hey ho had lasagne for dinner mmm. Was dinner a "healthy" or cooked dinner?
Dec 05 2014 08:27 PM

Vinay-RS

I'd judge healthy on the nutrients it gives me. Like anything deep fried is unhealthy :P
Dec 06 2014 09:50 AM

firstmini

I agree with that!
