What sort of numpty takes a young baby on an 8hr transatlantic flight? I've had 1 1/2 hrs sleep in the last 30 hrs...

Oh no, flights are bad enough without the added extra of screaming brats. Didn't the mother try and quiet them or at least apologised?

Yeah. Sadly, the materials I had were a coke can, an ipod, and a plastic fork. Sadly I couldn't build a tazer lol. And yeah, surely someone would have said something? Irritates me.

Lol well winter + car is outside is what's worrying me most. And problem is I work full time and my dad is the one welding it so just takes so long :( probably will be 10 years at this rate.... Although there is another classic that may be in the picture soon..... Not that Anything can distract from how much I miss my mini!

What size spots do you think i should get for my black Mini 30? if you think i should get them for on the grill

The brackets bolt onto the front valence. If you take the bumper off, then the bracket bolts onto the flat bit underneath, and the flat surface just below the grill. The spots then bolt onto the bracket. Depending on the year of your car, you might not need to drill holes as they were pre-drilled (They were on my 1995 anyway)

If there are 2 rubber grommets underneath the grill then you won't need to drill any holes :)

There's a popular pub in Westerham where the Pistonheads lot have meets. Really not far at all from Bromley etc. Near Biggin Hill. Massive car park, they also don't mind car meets, which is a bonus! I'll find out the name of the pub... haha

Because I'm going through the Army college so I'd have to wait a year for them to do just my theory, I'm impatient and have a Mini ;)
