She's gonna be my daily forever. I was working on my car... next door neibour comes out "Hey Craig, I've boughgt 5 acres of land and theres a garage with a Mini in it... needs a little bit of work but its not rotten" Me... Sweet! How much do you want for it? "Just give me 200 to cover scrap value and we'll get it moved in the week"

Well excited but I know its gonna be rotten, its a mini.

Mini will have my 8v on a Watsons frame. Eventually fit proper pistons and a 1400 twin cam head, some 135 cams and R65 gearbox, 120bhp with a remap on 16 valves :) Metro will have pretty similar spec.

Mini is coming home Saturday :D

The epic moment that your friends come round in their ST's and your 1996 Metro is a good few inches lower :D

Although it looks good, Craig, you're a goon.

EDIT: For you to be paying that much for insurance, and two of your friends to have STs, you must be in the rich crowd. Gomper.
