    u have to work them put pull bits off, (don't do what i did and use the whole bar in one go :/ ) spray your solution onto the bit thats covers in tar and rub your clay block on it (should then come off onto the bar and you use the micro fibre cloth to wipe the excess solution off :) (its what i did anyway and it worked a treat :)

Was thinking about going to imm next year until I read all the nasty foul comments being posted by people in the mini 'community' on the imm facebook page. Very sad. :-(

    Just think theres always 1 or 2 in every group that dont get on with everyone then multiply that by the numbers at IMM so it is just a small percentage but the language used on the fb page ,wow oh wow

Gave a 'young un' a lift home from work in the mini yesterday. He spent ages looking at the door handle then asked if it was for adjusting the wing mirrors. Bless.

    He was even more surprised when I explained the actual mechanism for adjuting wing mirrors on a mini I.E wind down windows, extend arm etc etc :-)

Cleaned the inside of the mini (for the first time in 2 and a half years) and put a new air freshener in. I'm pretty sure this is all the prep I need to do for L2B at the weekend :-)

New cones = massively improved ride. Shame the car sits like a 4x4 though

Not a massive fan of French cars, but I saw a Peugeot 208 GTI on the way home and it looks lush

That moment of panic when you look out the window and the mini's not parked on the drive - before you remember you left it parked somewhere else last night

    Different seat perhaps? I have my recaros touching the rear seat, can have my legs out straight pretty much, a lot more comfortable than the mpi seats in the other one :)

Spent the whole day working outside on the house. Weather looks ace tomorrow. Hopefully the hubby will give me the day off to go zipping through the Penines in the mini with the roof rolled back

    Depending where you are in the pennines you could always join us on the mini mine run :)
