Why is it so difficult to find a garage that you can trust to do work on your mini ? :-(

Sussex Road and Race in Littlehampton are probably the most renowned in the south.

Yeah, try it next time you make it. I think there is no end to the ingredients you can add to a chilli.

My recipe is a secret, SecretSugar! And it's awesome because my friends who ate it said it was :P But there was no chocolate in it - I didn't have any that was 70% cocoa or above.

No your membership number is added to your minispares account details. So when you receive the final invoice the discount is applied.

Left the mini in the underground, heated cctv controlled car park at work last night. She won't be happy when I go to pick her up and leave her on the cold windy drive again.

is it just me wondering why you need a heated car park?
Jan 04 2014 12:05 PM -

So your car doesn't get cold?
Jan 04 2014 04:04 PM -

It's a car park for the company directors. Maybe they don't want to get cold when walking to their cars :-)

Just checked the MOT history on the red and its failed nearly every other MOT, and every MOT has a massive list of advisories. Eek! Finding it suspicious that the garage I bought it off, put it through a MOT and had no advisories what so ever, even though a week after I got it, I found a bald tyre and a few other issues. Suspecting some backhanding going on...

Fingers crossed, at least with minis, welding work aside, MOT fails are usually cheap and easy enough to do
Jan 04 2014 02:34 PM -
SecretSugar
True. Although my blue needs welding and can't find anyone to do it so its abandoned in my compound :( Red has just got a case of lopsidedness and passenger side is rubbing on the wheel...both are going through MOT. Eek.
