never thought I would say this but it looks like I might be relying on the mini as my everyday car again next month...

new discs/pads and ball joints arrived today, its exciting to see it all go back together with shiny new parts!!!

just have to keep reminding myself that it will all be worth it the end... If the car ever gets finished

dad's Hot rod is finally up and running, you cant beat the sound of a 454 ci supercharged big block, roughly 610bhp and should run low 9's at Santa Pod

so am i right in saying that this EU modification law might potentially kill the customised car/hot road/kit car seen for good? a bit worrying when I am seriously considering a micra conversion

after driving the GF's 2005 Suzuki Swift for the last couple of months, I have come to the conclusion Don't buy one!!!

found out my mini was first registered in Worcester, nice to know that it has been local for all those years

another head gasket blown!!!!

managed to get hold of a allegro 1300 engine, will it fit my 92 mini 998 without any major modifications?

just picked up some new 13" Yoko's for the mini, what sort of psi do you usually run them at?

managed to hit a brick on the way home and the impact was so hard I cracked my dashboard..OH well it is just a good excuse to get a much nicer different one .

took the carpets out and had a good look at the floors, drivers side front and rear floors are completely shot and the bottom of the x-member has rusted through in one place.. all thanks to the previous owner who fitted oversills . any advice on how to tackle this?

mini is running on 13"s at the back and 12"s on the front, the handling is awful but i am enjoying how light the steering is ;)

should I ditch the 13 x 7's and go for 10" or 12" wheels???

mini has shredded the inner side of both front wheels, not only that they rub every time they are turned and just dont look like there sitting in the middle of the wheel arch... bloody 7x13's
