Whilst in the queue at a place selling Mini parts today I didn't feel as much the amateur as I used to. When you hear comments such as "no thats the wrong choke cable, thats for a fuel injection model" you know your not at the bottom end of Mini repair knowledge.

Just spent $500 incluing freight on stuff from MiniSpares. That should get me about halfway to a road legal car!

My dad was the one that got me into cars and especially minis as he had them when he was a kid.

Anyone ever thought about sticking a Peugeot 304 engine in a mini. Same layout as a mini engine, but a larger capacity yet lighter aluminium block...Ok maybe not, but there's one sitting in the garage begging for me to do it.

A lot easier ways to gain 75bhp even in the days when the 304 engine was made. All that work for no gain.

The problem with the 304 engine is that the diff is at the front, isn't it? So your driveshafts would be way too far forward.

Getting fed up of Minis. Every time I try and do something nice to improve the car it never works out.

I know the feeling. Well at least it is never straightforward. I always think cool it will be nice when I renew this / that and then there is always some kind of compromise, or something doesn't seem quite right with it and you don't get that nice feeling you were aiming for!

Did you get it out? Or did it meet a sticky end?

I chased it out. It was going all the way round the open back door and not out of it. Stupid thing. Can't kill bees. Wasps, no problem - get the spray out.

Oh the joys of receiving a letter to tell you that your tax exempt vehicle that doesn't need a tax disc is about to run out of tax.
