Drove mine to work last week for the first time. The entrance to the retail park has an ANPR system from company 'parking eye' to catch people out who stay over the two hour limit (even though I park in the staff parking area to the rear of the store). Having driven my previous car in to work, I knew that I would receive a letter, as their service conveniently has no real way to register a vehicle . 

Upon entering the car park I knew exactly what to do. Leaning out of the window, I gave the camera a nice big middle finger accompanied by an expression that went a little bit like this...

 

Today I received my nice crisp portrait of me and my mini, along with a big fat £85 parking charge. I can only imagine their faces when they saw the image.

Put the new pot joints in, filled her with oil and hoped for he best. Turned on easily for the first time in 3 weeks and it doesn't leak anymore. :)

Stopped to fill up and noticed I was on exactly 86000 miles. Not exactly a major milestone, just a bit creepy

Went round a corner and saw fuel pouring out the filler cap you mean? ;)

Compressed a front cone ready to strip out the top arm, totally knackered seal. Not good when the threads are damaged on the compressor but soon sorted with a junior hacksaw blade.

Backed off the drive, put it into forward and went nowhere...

 

Think the clutch bands are gone

 

Now to find another auto box.
