Hello all jsut a quick introduction!!
Just got my first car bout a month ago a mini cooper 1998 s reg. BRG well see my picture.
Love it!! its awsome so much fun to drive. Already have my first hitch tho! went in for a service and the guys found that someone had stripped the threads on the oil sump!! they put in a temp bung which leaks....so it is now sitting on my drive with no oil cause i emptied it. I am waiting for a threaeded insert to arrive to drill out the hole then insert to make it good as new!! I have a new sump bung and the guy gave me the insert for free!!! how nice. I hope to have him back on the road by end of next week!! i can't wait i am missing drivin him!!
ahh the joys of ownership. I really wan to start tinkering with the engine but cauise i am only 18 the insurance company is well annoying...
all in good time i suppose!!
