If you insist of adding an extortionate service charge to the bill when you made us wait ages, brought us the wrong food, didn't cook it properly and my pint tasted of washing up liquid, don't be surprised that I left the money in an upside down pint of water on the table. Have fun cleaning up.

I've just started to fit my 7 port head back on and 2 of the rockers studs have stripped in the head. Bit of a sickener, fortunately I've some 5/16th unc helicoils.

So do I, not a happy bunny. I've got a bottom tap in the way so I'm going to find out.

F**king eBay mini ‘specialists’ selling stock they don’t have, yet more time wasted.

Id avoid minimine too, they banned me from trading with them because I dared to criticise the quality of something...

Pop your SIM into a friends compatible phone -hopefully you stored contacts on the SIM?
& your network provider MIGHT be able to retrieve the rest of the stuff if you ask VERY nicely.

Plug it into Your Computer and you can access all your pictures/videos, I've done it before.
As itsaminithing mentioned contacts should be hopefully be saved to sim so popping it into another device should work.

All contacts was saved to the phone and not the SIM, which I thought they would be...
Iv plugged my phone into my PC and it cannot access the phone as its locked and theres no way of unlocking it...
I have even tried to put the phone into safety mode by pressing a combination of keys, but that has also failed...
I'll get a new LCD digitizer for it and hope for the best once its installed onto the phone...

How Blasphemous would it be if I put a Mk1/2 Badge on my Mk4 bonnet?

A bonnet badge- no worries.
Black & silver number plates - you should be shot at dawn.

Lots of the Minis (and classics in general) that come into our workshop have modifications and parts from all years on them. I think the only time it is a little bit naughty is when it is obvious that the car has been dressed up to make it appear like a different model for sale purposes. That said, even then i suppose a quick check would show the cars real ID :)

Although I'm not a fan of the establishment, Minisport have a NOS sale on with original carpets for £100! (No black though)

Yep, certainly wet!
Better than last year at getting the races back on believe it or not.
Lap at the end was good as there was a bit of a gap in front of me ;)
Good to catch up with people, hopefully the weather will be better next time :)

Leaving gaps was all part of the fun ;)
Thought it was alright considering the weather!

To the 17 plate clio that gave me the mighty car mods chopped finger gesture after almost forcing me into oncoming traffic. It wasn't funny or clever. Not impressed.

When the woman at Shell tells you it's illegal to put oil into petrol - no love that's Castrol Valvemaster.. lol

The bikers with their 2 stroke bikes are gonna be ******* then....
Why would it be illegal...?

Ahaha yes, she genuinely confused me, pointed to my bottle so at first I thought she thought id filled a 250ml bottle up with petrol lol, but then valvemaster is orange, not clear like petrol. She clearly didnt have a clue aha, total BS. Deffo confused her when I mentioned that my valves are too big for unleaded seats.. haha

Will a rev counter from the 3 clock dash work with electronic ignition? E.g. a k series

Cheers guys, hmmm thats strange, imo I would have thought one from a MPI would work on a k series as they are both full injection systems
Aug 08 2017 03:23 PM -

mpi uses a coil pack and sends a twin signal or summit like that, all other mini just a coil
