Wow, that place does look nice. I forgot, I also won an ipod about 7 years ago with one of those coke text competitions.

Yes it is but its a pre facelift so should be the F40 not the M32 box which is the weaker of the two.

Just tried to jump start the Mini, as the battery was totally flat after not being used for 2 months.... Anyway, I hook it up to my Dads big diesel saloon, plenty of power I thought. Got his engine running, then got into the Mini. All lights came on as expected, reading 13 volts on the gauge. I turn the key, and it hardly turns the engine over, barely anything. So I tried my Clio, which has a new battery, same again... Why? Any advice?

If your original battery is completely knackered ie internally shorted, then it can short the other battery trying to start it, remove the mini battery earth and try starting it without your original battery connected

Only very cheap common jump leads, they did get rather hot at the crocodile clip ends during use however? The battery finished charging today, will give it a shot tomorrow and let you guys know :)

he said a couple years ago that we shouldn't be sad if he died in a crash, because he would have had a big smile on his face.. :)

So sorry I couldn't make it. I presume you heard about the [insert expletive] who smashed my windscreen on my Clio.

How is a 2.3 litre series 3 Land Rover cheaper to insure than a 1.3 mini?! Cheaper by 400 quid...

Quoted just over a grand for the Land Rover whereas my mini is £1400!
