Somerford Mini stand at l2B 2009, they were £5 for the set of 3 - you're on about the standard mini ones yeah? My aux gauges are Sunpro, which come with the chrome rings :D

Cheers Kaison

Thanks Danny! Got a lot more stickers on his windows now and have also fitted a tow hook on the front, haven't got round to doing the rear one I have yet.

Will get some more pictures up this evening! :D

My other passion in life is Drifting, which is why there are so many drift style stickers on the windows, as well as things hanging from my tow hook (soon to be hooks).

Suffering from a relentless oil leak at the moment, so hasn't been driven alot lately. Just been adding stickers really.

Bought some yellow Lucas headlight covers recently, which shall be fitted very soon

So, Dad and I have been reasonably fixing jimmy up ready for Castle Combe on saturday!

Diff leak is now fixed which is good, and I did the much more simple task of fitting my yellow light covers that I bought recently :D

Also lowered the back a tad as well to try and even things up a bit.

Will be going to Castle Combe this saturday. Jimmy and Kiko will be on the Blakehill Minis clubstand, so feel free to come for a chat, would be nice to meet some of you :thumbsup:
