Oh it's back on like a mysteron! Which is to say there's a weird disembodied voice telling me to do crazy sh*t! And estate, a JDM, and a total disregard for purity! Here we go.

Another box bites the dust. Time for a rebuild and upgrade or maybe another car, a different car would give perspective on if I love driving the mini or just driving.

Nice work Minispeed! 3 days since order and it's still "processing". Glad I went for faster shipping...

Ogy is nearly ready to return to the road, unfortunately against that possibility I'm already browsing for a donor car...

Sat in a Bini today while looking for a runaround car, is it just me or are they really tacky? Felt like I was sitting in a kids toy with all the cheap plastic on it. Shame really :(

Aye that's the one, 2L. They definitely sound great motors, just don't feel as eager about it as I did getting the mini. Don't know if that's a sign not to or just that it's a functional car more than the focus of my passion, as it were.

I like things boxy and simple. Not all these crazy curves! Saying that, my mates BMW has a lovely dark burr effect dash.

A day at the rollers with Dan Fuke, Ogy pulled a mighty 65bhp at the fly... Think I need a cam.

Given it's a sprite cam I'm expecting a good 60 with a proper lift version, peak power was at about 5k rpm!

What cam you gonna change to? I think Mines on a similar cam. but its a manual.

You're probably 'only' losing about 15% then, you lucky sod!
I'm not decided on cam yet, SW5 looks a good pick, ideally I'd like an AC Dodd special but he's moving at the moment so might not be making them for a while.

Starts with C ends with a t.
People like that really annoy me, why drive into the mini. WHY??

I like to believe he was so astounded by how awesome it looks that he momentarily lost awareness of his surroundings, attempted to jump for joy at such a sight and hit the gas inadvertantly.

At least you're mobile again man, sure you've been dying to have your wheels back.

You know, it didn't seem that big a thing but yes I bloody missed my Mini! :D

Course next week I'll take it off the road to fit the head and 10" wheels... ;-)
