Great news mate

Thanks Dave!

Near a month and nowt? I'm expecting you on the edge of your seat for my idler gear replacement result, week after next.

Oli, I'm waiting for you to sort yours so you can come and do mine!

Aside the lack of cd player, the car seems to be driving quite happily. I've covered 1200 miles this month without issue. Hence no update for a while! All the jobs are big and expensive so they are deferred for now.

I've started fitting these:

And Flo made a friend when I visited my friend the other day. Another 12" mpi, but blue :)

Ooooo where did you get those from?

[bcjames]

TMFings between the on and offness.

[MaxAndPaddy]

Pleased you found some, they match your dash well

They look lighter than Max's or his look dirtier

They look different in real life. They aren't a perfect match, but once they've been on for a while I'll stop noticing any slight variation.

Got to drill holes next

How close do your door handles sit to the capping Steve? Mine are really close, but it might just be the double sided tap pushing them out a bit more compared to when they are screwed.

[MaxAndPaddy]

That blew me away with Max, all the attention to detail in him then the door cappings are just SCREWED IN. They didnt even TRY to make it look nicer

Slap it on!

[MaxAndPaddy]

Quite close

[bcjames]

It's to remind you despite the masses of walnut you're in a Mini and not a Rolls

[bcjames]

I love the Mota Lita! I want one of them!

[MaxAndPaddy]

He thinks hes a Rolls and we humour him

[MaxAndPaddy]

I'd loveeeee a Mota Lita on Paddy I hate his...but cant be bothered with the MOT faff

[bcjames]

They aren't as expensive as I thought they'd be. I don't know if the MOT rules bit would prove to be a faff or not really.
