Let us know what you decide!
I must do a custom mini next. Restoring one to OE spec is fine but doesn't let you get creative.

Depression isn't about, 'Woe is me, my life is this, that and the other', it's like having the worst flu all day that you just can't kick.

When I have my episodes best thing to do is remember you've come out the other side before and you will do again. Just hang in there.

Yeah although currently waiting for parts to get the exhaust hanging again rather than dragging on the floor so I will get the mini back on the road sometime soon lol

I'm never going to use parcel force again to send an item. Used their quick quote system to find a price, when it came to actually send the item they want 3 times as much despite nothing changing.

Parcelforce are useless, Sent a Ridley noah RFlow carbon road bike frame with them, beautifully wrapped with fragile all over it, paid for cover to it's value £1700. Arrived the other end with the rear triangle snapped and a boot imprint on my box. Parcelforce would not pay out citing it was an irregular shaped parcel..

You got further than I ever got although JLR's loss was Aston Martin's gain... or it would have been if I hadn't been made a better offer by a glue making company

Anyone know where you can buy Abloy padlocks? Not online, want to see first.

Just spent a small fortune reinforcing the garage. Got a pretty indestructible pair of hasps and staples bolted through to the concrete and thought I might as well get the best padlocks out there. If they want the Mini, they're going to have to fight for it....

Shame. They look darn good. But you've confirmed my suspicions they are not for ordinary folk! Will look at alternatives. So many to choose fromthough ..

For my A2 level ICT project I need to create an ICT based solution for a client, does anybody have any ideas?

A Megajolt based project?

Why not seek out a local(ish) car restoration company that is behind the times on IT and ask if you can help them and build project around that? If you are doing ICT and are on this site, combining the two should be simple. A web site design, services, parts etc and get a discount! Or am I barking up the wrong tree here?

Frogeye, that sounds like a good plan, I can confidently code a webpage.
