Hah, if I go then il drive. Not going to have a mad engine in it but it will be good

[iMurray]

Italy eh? That's almost doable ;) can we take a mechanic with us?

Sweet ride by the way dude.

Costs? Anyone worked that out yet?

Cost to get to Italy?

well I hear there is a job going in Turin, £4 million, which could make it worth it ;)

Yeah. Me! Can't work in a racing team without knowing cars n stuff!

Bare monies. I doubt I will go to this one. IMM 2014 is in UK. Much better idea! Marquee, BBQ, copious amounts of beverages. Both minis, one on slicks / intermediates for midnight blasts ( why do you think i fitted cibies?)

Will be awsome!

I hate you and your seemingly endless pot of time and money.


Throw some at the generic Cooper will ya!

Also where do you live so I can come joy ride your motors

[jaydee]

Imm is 60 euros = 48 quids
Then you have to include the cost of the fuel, motorway fees and the ferry.
We got a ferry convention though.

Believe me, it's not endless!! Had pretty much no life in the summer, race mech'ing pretty much every weekend. Earnt a lot:D

Add me on Facebook if you got it! Harrison Kirby 8)

Yeah but then we must do that just before the blast or we'll catch the attention of the coppers.
Must bring some foam with us though

Ah..forgot to reply to the guys above, the event starts may 16 and its very close to the italian job charity rally..i will probably be present at both events.

[Artful Dodger]

oh darn it ...

aaanyway, updateroonie!

turns out my hand was worse than i was led on to believe.. A+E doctor said it was a tendon that has gone ping and broken bone, and it should be A OK and will not need an OP. went to 'ospital t'other day and was told that it was a ligament that had pulled the bone away fro the base of my thumb and there was a 9/10 chance of it needing operating on. its not the pain thats frustrating me its the complete clash of answers. the first doctor must have been dumb or pulling my leg... funneh joke. ohwell, lots of people worse off than me. no OP (thankfuly!) and only have a cast until 8th of jan.

im still working though.. gloves over the cast and hay presto! i can still weld! WOOPWOOP!

i cleaned all of the surface rust and painted the shell last week, was getting hold... needless to say it gone now!

sorted some rust in the toe panel and reconstructed the front inner sill, flitch panel etc. just rusted through and had been turned into a filler-y mess.

pikchars!

i have the inner A panel on and out A panel and sill right ready to weld on just didnt take any pictures. will be fitting those and starting on the boot floor tomorrow. we have a members mini coming in on tuesday for a funky respray and some welding, so i think this is going to have a mini bunking on its ramp for a week or two!




thought i would put a pic up of our space heater ;) thats a renault megane next to it. Huge isnt the word. but bleedin norah it keeps me warm!!!
