Have you manned up and opened that drivers door yet?

[E.L.M.O]

Its not been out of the garage in months

[Burnard]

Yer, but has the door fallen off? Have you even checked?


It IS going to be on the road this summer isnt it?

[E.L.M.O]

Yeah the a Panel will get welded up sometime this month or next in time for Riv or L2B

[Burnard]

hehe

So when are you having this topic moved to engine conversions? we all know you called it sonic for a reason

[E.L.M.O]

House and marrige come first. If I get hold of a cheap 1275, or rebuild the one I got I might stick that in. but other than that at this percise moment in time its ok as it is. No rush. its a cruise mobile.

Started counting all the change in my pocket When you looking to have him back on the road?

Lol. Serves your right for being a smart butt! Seriously doubt I will sell this for a good few years. I like to think of this as the one I keep for many, many years.

When you looking to have him back on the road?

Thats the killer question isnt it!

I would love to take him to Newquay. But we always take Hannas, and it would be a shame to break tradition (especially as I used her car as part of the proposal last year)We always share the driving, and Her minis a good (normally) reliable relatively quick mini. She wont want to do the drive by herself and its a long way to go in a pick up when your 6ft2!

So more than likely the latest will be for L2b. But I expect I wont wait that long.

I just need to get the wheels sorted then its on the road.
I got original dunlop 10" Cooper reverse rims that I am having banded to 7". Anyone know if there is anyway to get these over 8.4" brakes or do I HAVE to switch to 7.9 (or even 7.5?)

I know a guy who will probably be selling some cooper S calipers soon, possibly the drive flanges aswell
Not sure how such small brakes would cope with your fat ass though.

Door fallen off yet?


Alternatively, big wheel spacers and keep the 8.4's
