No not the pink ones lol. Yea wasn't to bad. Not sure how much it cost over all to fix as they haven't billed me yet.

O yes and this is another thing I'm gonna add to my list of stuff I NEED. My mates just bought one of those new PS3's. The small one. This got me thinking. Im sure I could fit one of those in my mini somewhere. Anyway before I start blowing money Like that I have more important things to get.

Now your talking sense jon. spend what you need to do to get the car working and through an MOT then worry about crap thats what ive done. thats why i aint got my stage 1 kit yet cause i want it to go through its mot next year. so i hold the money back just incase. having said that id be suprised it if failed.

Well apart from the front end I'm now hoping that it will be fine. I'v done most of the MOT advisories so it should be ok. The new front end I will get at a show next year so I'm hoping I cant pick up a good deal at one of them. Hopefully I should get a dash at the Xmas mini show as I'm fed up of my speedo falling out every time I go round a corner. Iv been with out a dash now since the end of Aug so I think its about time I bought one. During the winter the whole interior will hopefully be changed. Well carpets,dash and roof lining anyway. Theirs no way I can afford the seats and door cards at the moment.

O yes and someone from our club is selling some twin carbs for quite a good price as well so I may buy those as Jenny's Xmas Prezzie.

Right well todays not been a good day today. Was coming home from college and the engine just kept losing power. So I would drop down a gear and then it would rev may to high and slow right down. In the end I was driving home in second gear with the choke all the way out. I have no idea what's wrong with it and haven't got the money to send it to a garage. Im hoping the Basingstoke Mini Club mechanic can find out what's wrong with it. Im hoping its not gonna cost to much.

Right well only a small update. Went to halfords today and got these.

Bargain as its was on sale for 9.99 so got that to keep in the car and taking for shows and so on. Then my mate decided to run out of fuel. So I filled his car up with a tenner of fuel and he gave me this.


A Alpine headunit for £10 bargain.

So quite a good day for a change.
