Over 2 years since I stashed the Mini away in the garage... I think that's a decent break from the Mini scene; can't wait to get stuck in again.

    I hate that buzzing feeling. Wear thick gloves to help minimise it. It feels like your phone vibrating whenever you touch something for the next day or so.

Single piece MPi style stabilizer bush or the 2 piece rubber types (and normal rubber or the ones with the conical inserts?) My poly ones transmit too much vibration!!

    I fitted poly stabiliser bushes and I think that's why I get so much vibration when traveling at 60ish. I reckon rubber bushes in at least one end along with some more sound deadening will quieten it right down.

    I only fit poly stabiliser mounts, new rubber is rubbish

    But I get so much vibration in the car. At 60mph it's really loud. I'm going to try the rubber with plastic cones and see what it's like. If it's no better then I obviously need more sound deadening!

    You have to take it to a garage that accommodates tricycles. I heard of one garage that accidentally drove one over a pit. lol

    Easy, 4 post ramp, some wood and a jack... Reverse on the ramp but stop before the front wheel goes in the gap... Use the wood to jack the chassis Hang the front wheel off the end of the ramp :D

It's offical. My mini is cursed. It just doesn't want to be on the road.

    Don't like the look of them to be honest. I would rather have a zt v6 or mg zr. I would love an impreza turbo 2000, but can't afford to buy one. :(
