Nearly watched a whole series of Archer to day. It's far too cold to go to the workshop.

    ...my house. There was one about 300 km out of town two weeks ago, but I didn't go as I was not comfortable driving that distance in one go. Some guys drove 1600 km from the other side of the country for that show!

    Yeah I think they all get a tshirt or sumthin so 15 a year isn't overly much. I think that's it, I love all styles and shapes, mines a LE 30 but no way I'd think about classing a "normal" mini as lower than mine or whatever - there's so many styles, editions etc out there & all just as loveable! Blimey that seems to far away! Some people do go miles & miles for them, unsure if I could to be honest - I'd be deaf and end up rattling as much as the car...

    Ooh a limited edition! Yeah mines a bog standard 1275E (Local model). Some of the guys have really nice rare models, one guy has two mk1 cooper Ss! Some people have minis that are in quite a tired state, but we still love it when they come on the runs because they are our friends :) Yeah same here I cannot imagine driving that distance in my mini, though if it was in convoy and we stopped every 300 or so km, I think it would be a fun adventure.

Warning - i'll be posting loads today as there are no aircraft to play with at work. I am, however, drinking my own weight in tea and biscuits!

Looking for a good 1275+ engine build thread. Not too fussed with bodywork, which makes it hard to sort through all the project threads.

    I will only shop in Halfrauds with my trade discount card :-). If you work in the motor trade or can prove you work alot on cars with receipts as proof get one! Big savings can be had! Eg my gunson gas analyser with trade card was cheaper than what old used ones were going for on ebay!

    What about the little float valve? That could be blocked as well?. Did you check the fuel flow?.
