If anyone is nearby to Castle Coombe, the under 17 driving club is holding a magic day where people turn up with interesting cars and offer people rides in them for charity. PM me if anyone would be interested in bringing their mini, it would be so cool for a bunch of minis to turn up and do their bit.

Taking the mini to driving club this weekend, really excited to get back behind the wheel after a lot of work done on her

No, however you can tune an auto engine. The gearbox will only take about 80BHP IIRC! And an auto gearbox rebuild is circa £1,000...

You have to be careful though the cam you use has enough torque where the converters stall speed is to pull away uphill ok

Would my 94 Cooper have black arches and white mirrors as standard? Or are the chrome arch covers and mirrors correct?

Yeah the black arches are under the covers. Minispares says the white ones were fitted then. Oh well. "Exterior decorative changes" puts the insurance up millions so may have to leave the boring look for a while

The black arches look better IMO, chrome ones look a tad tacky. I wouldn't have thought that would put the price up that much. If it was like it when you bought it I wouldn't put it down...

Well I'm going to be 17 and it almost doubles it. I wasn't going to note it down, I wasn't sure if the chrome was the equivalent to an "optional extra" fitted from factory? I'm not sure I want to risk it

Love these C-130s coming over at a few hundred feet at the bottom of the garden, couldn't believe how quickly they rolled from 45 degree bank.

She's technically ready to get back on the road. Just need to get round to buying tax (ahem). She spends her winter hibernating like a big, red, temperamental hedgehog. I'm a bit late this year.
