Well my first car @17 was a 79 Min that was brown, no MOT no tax and had had a fire in the engine bay.

My Dad bought it for me @£120 and I did it up that year and blew the pistom rings before I passed my test. Rebuilt and resprayed it by hand.

Second car was a 85 Min city that was red )


Now my 8th car is again a mini (now 28 YrsO)

Welcome back ( to mini ownership ) I bet you feel like what have I been doing for the past 10 years.. diggin out all them rusty tools..

Sounds like an absolute flyer matey.... any future plans ?

[hulahoop]

These pics are only off my phone but they give you an idea.

Plans...

Um, make it a bit more plush inside and then just drive it for a bit to see what would be nice to do. If I had a silly wisj list I think a 5 speed box would be good.

As it is I can spin the wheels quite easily in second so it seems a bit silly thinking of adding more power.

I am seriously thinking of getting a quiter exhaust unfortunately. And I am having 4 Yokohama A539's being fitted at lunchtime.
