    Are the R7's worth that much extra over the 032's? Might try a set

    So many numbers! I am looking at the A539 Yokohama's if that makes any difference?

    A539's are for 12's n 13's correct? If so Richie, you needn't worry about what we're talking about here lol. miniman24, I'd say they as good as Yokos, they're a period look tyre remanufactured with a modern compound. If they're good enough for pre 66 Historic Coopers, then I reckon they're good enough for your standard road Mini :)

    Seriously!!??? It may take the temp but I wouldn't ever use it on oil lines! Aeroquip braided hose and aeroquip alloy unions. Every time

    I second aeroquip hoses, why spend so much on an engine and then use anything less to hold the life blood of the engine

    Yeah I know, never had much luck with it. I've had trouble with TechWax 2 and today I tried an old bottle of Colour Magic Wax we had. When I help my Dad do his cars, it comes off easy as anything, not for me though

    Get some pre wax cleanser. I use autoglym HD wax and its fairly tough to apply and buff out but its worth it!

Was told my Minispares discount would be taken off on all future orders, so I placed an order the other day and it wasn't taken off. I've called them and I cant get the difference refunded or anything. Was a £100 order as well ffs wonderful -_-

    Essentially yeah Tom its just an annoyance, I thought it was just added onto your account so I didn't want to call up and sound like I was taking the piss really.

25 years ago today, my cousin Tony Kelly went to watch his adored LFC play at hillsborough and never came home. RIP Tony, and the other 95.

    Its the Highways Agency trucks that are getting on my wick at the moment, staying in the right hand lane on the A38 while those who are less patient undertake to get passed - I would take the reg down, but I have goldfish memory and forget it by the time I get safely home!

I have a scholarship, and I'm tempted to use the money to either build a hillclimb car or restore one, probably an 80's metro for both, so what do we think: race or restore?

    I thought so but there's all of the legalities with racing, so it could be quite expensive!
