One year today since me and Simon went to Bingley together and my life changed forever ^_^ It has been amazing and it feels like much more than a year, it has felt like a lifetime... and I mean that in a good way.

Heres to many more Mini filled years with the most perfect person I've ever met in my life :wub: I love you ^_^

And Minbin who made it all happen... one day soon she will be back on the road and man will all your hard work be worth it when you turn the key again and hear her roar into life. :mrcool: :highfive:

So today me and Craig got the crane from Josh's (THANKS JOSH! :) ) and got the engine out pretty quick:

Then I wanted to put the engine at the back of the garage and have the mini sitting in front of it until it got picked up to be taken away, but this required the car being rolled down the driveway so we could then wheel the crane back into the garage. This worked perfect until me and Craig couldn't push the car back up the drive, and to add to the ****, petrol was pouring out of the fuel line when the car was at an angle, and flooding the drive.

A small tiff occurred, a bit of shouting, and then we got my brother to help us push it up. :mmkay:

Got a few more photos to upload later, because the camera was being a loser and wasn't autofocusing, and the other pictures are on my phone which has run out of battery!

Got the interior to take out, and a few more bits in the engine bay, and then I'll be calling Duncan to let him know it's READY!!! I'll probably do this Monday.

Thanks for looking! :D :D

Simaig.
