Ahhhh! Try one ... That's all we live on when we go camping now because we set fire to the rear blinds of the Bongo with the primus so nobody can be trusted to cook anything now.

Why is it, I cannot get my filler on smooth enough? Then rubbing it down for next few days!

I find taking it off with 80 grade sand paper means you cut it back quite quick
Nov 20 2014 06:02 PM -
olly33
Think i just over did the filler and its quite thick and tacky.Maybe because its kept in outside garage perhaps.

I had to, completely the wrong time of year for painting and with the mini stuck outside I could do without an excuse for any rust to start.

But i bet you tell your customers when you arrive on the job and let them know when you go and when you plan to return? These guys don't!

I can't be the only person that forgets to breath when they're nervous/anxious/awaiting news, can i?! I literally sit and hold my breath without realising it until i feel slightly faint. Weird.

Is it not possible to store the mini in a garage and get a safer, newer car?
Nov 19 2014 12:41 PM -
firstmini
I feel terrible debating safety over keepin a car but no what u mean lyndsey as awesome car to have :) & I wish cud store it but don't have a garage & to get a new car right now would need money from mini... altho if don't get the right price then will never let her go!

Ball joint snapped on a roundabout outside of Guildford today, fortunately not too much damage, only a tyre and squashed front valance to repair, just pissed off from these stupid potholes.....

Miniminx71
It's not so bad in a 'modern' car, but, in a Mini, you can shatter your teeth as well.
Nov 19 2014 12:21 AM -
A.Millican
was it a genuine ball joint? just out of interest...
Nov 19 2014 05:14 AM -
IainStallard
Yup, genuine ball joint from minispares. I recon some non-genuine joints are as good as genuine, as long as they are best treated
