Good news! My mini is ready for paint. Bad news... Where I live there is only 1 place that can do it, and he's generally quite busy. However, all I am waiting on is painting, then I can put it back together! Nearly there now.

Bought another mini over the weekend... My first clubby. But this one is driveable at least. :D

No safety catch on my 1981 mini but the leather bonnet strap I fitted did its job.

So annoyed just waited in for someone to pick up a project I sold on eBay they turned up said it wasn't for them even though bough through eBay as a contract. I just cancelled the transaction and ebay said I will get a final value refund to use towards future advertising. So I'm now out of pocket and in credit with ebay listing. !!!:-(

New game mini
Can anyone recommend a goodish but cheapish go pro type camera for that can attach to the outside of the car? Doesn't have to be amazing, just reasonable.
