So after just having the turbo rebuilt in the bini, the clutch has now gone. I knew my car luck was bad but I didn't think it was catastrophic.

    Serious tech stuff then! Explosions like a rocket scientist or architect type blowing up buildings?

    explosives for vehicles and buildings, and the effects (small scale of course). Nah rocket scientists are in their own league of hectic :)

    Had my NCB on my Mini until late September when I bought a cheap Fiesta as a daily runaround. Decided to remove the NCB off the Mini and put it on the new Fiesta insurance. Mini insurer sent me a letter proving I had removed the NCB from the Mini, so I sent this to Fiesta insurer as proof of NCB. 4 times I have sent this now, they refuse to accept it as they state "My Mini insurance has not been cancelled, so the NCB off it cannot be used". I have tried telling them numerous times tha...

    t I wont be cancelling my Mini insurance, and that I have removed the NCB from it, but its like talking to a wall. Anyway today I get a letter from Fiesta insurer asking me to prove my NCB or my insurance will be cancelled at a cost of £50 + the whole years premium. Also a veiled threat about passing my details to the DVLA. I told them to cancel it there and then. Cost me £50 but cant be bothered with the hassle anymore

Re-booking your car in to the garage again whilst still there isn't a great thing when the issue was 'resolved this afternoon'. And then your toilet seat falling off in your hand. My night is going to be great. On the plus side, my steering wheel has turned up whayhey!

    Looks like an Astrali Successor 2 but missing the little plastic corners on the spokes. Other than that it looks like it's in pretty decent nick. I've got one with the BL "Bath plug" badge on it, it's a nice retro wheel.

Work colleague 'You look nice today, Lyndsey. Like a lovely mystical creature. like a yak'. 'So i look like a big cow?' 'No a yak, like a fairy'... He never fails to amaze me.

Went into the garage for first time in weeks. Fell back in love with 'The Toad'. Must get him running again, the cosmetically challenged git.

    ha ha and people really pay to get a brand new KA? they obviously don't believe in improving the car each year when they bring out the new plates, instead people can pay a hell of a lot of money for a car with the same spec as 15 years ago?!

    I got given a corsa as a courtesy car when my vectra needed a brake pipe. It kept telling me to change gear which I found really annoying. My mum was given a city rover once. It didn't even have a radio so was actually a lower spec than my 86 mini.

    Yep UK, took them 6 weeks to send the first half o the order 1000 miles then another 8 weeks to complete the order after I sent them numerous emails. That's the last they'll ever see of my money
