    Stupidly, I can have any exhaust I want or manifold I want, but as soon as I mention an air filter, the price doubles

What is the safe wading depth for a mini? Just been through a flood with water up to my floor and there were no problems, was I lucky?

Don't understand why they didn't do a second season of the 'new' Knight Rider episodes, they were amazing!

I can wait until I can afford an buy and insure a V8 Cobra or a TVR...

    If you put a V8 against a mini, their fuel economy would probably be about even as the mini would be going flat out and the V8 probably only about half throttle ;)

    They did a test on top gear, m3 following a flat out prius... Much better economy in m3!! The e92 v8 one as well!

Hate the roads around where I live sometimes, Stupid log sticking out of the bank pretty much invisible in the dark and caught my wheel arch, cracking it :(

    If it's only the plastic arch, maybe you were lucky! But the roads around there in the summer must be pretty good!

    Yup, just the plastic arch, slight dent under the indicator too but barely noticeable. I guess I needed an excuse to buy a set of new arches anyway, the old ones were horrible!

On average, how much does it coat to have a 12g940 cylinder head rebuilt to stage 3 spec?

    From the usual mini stores, speak to BENROSS on turbominis, he's doing my head atm

    +1 on Benross, only a couple of minutes from myself and a top bloke. Think it's around £650 for a fully worked head from him.

And Stiggytoo breaks down in his mini again, twice in two days. One from gearbox failure, one from points failure. So that makes it 6 or 7 times now this year :P
