hi everyone
Just bought a mini mayfair auto 998cc. i now own 2 cars and im 16. the other is a metro turbo which is not goin anywere near a mini.
need a bit of help. i take it it will run on leaded, its d reg. are they leaded or were they unleaded from the factory?

[Bigbudders]

I'd say if it was a D reg mate, and its not been converted then it runs unleaded. It was a few years after they all changed to unleaded...sorry but not sure when.

When you say the metro turbo is going no where near a mini.... do you mean you're not gonna gut it and make use of it's engine???

[mayoturbo]

i mean it would be moraly wrong to gut it for the engine. it is really rust free and anyone who tears them apart is a pr*ck (unless is it completely rusted/twisted from a crash), there is alot better ways to get alot more power...... blah blah

save the metros!!!!!!!!!!!! any mk1 or mk2 is rare now.

LMAO

I wonder if anyone else agrees???

hey metro's aren't that bad

metro 6r4

[Bigbudders]

I don't know much about the 6R4 to be honest, but my bet is it hasn't got much to do with the metro

[mayoturbo]

the 6r4 is far far far from the metro lol. im only sayin its ashame to wreck rare cars! metros out of the question. WHO THINK ITS A SHAME TO WRECK RARE CARS (especially british lol)

[flameredturbo]

keep on dreaming. unless your daddy is very loaded you wont be insuring your self on a metro turbo for a good few years.

Also are you calling me a pri*k or the others who have used metro turbos as donors? if so i suggest you take it back as its very rude and you need to learn some manners!

[mayoturbo]

depends, if it was a good condition one and the mini shell is tatty then yes (but its not tatty i actually really like the look of yours). its all opionions. the mini was bought so i can get insurance, the metro turbo is for me to work on and will be driven by my dad, and maybe me in a few years on a limited milage scheme but it will probably be sold by then. i know its not the best way to introduce myself!
Not saying you are actually a pri*k in real life, its just i dont find the idea of scrapping good metro turbos for minis.

I am sorry for saying my opinions, i will be two faced from now on if you like.

[Bigbudders]

See now you think someone who does that is a ... well you know, i think they're a genious!

We're all different though, and i'm sure you're opinions are quite welcome as long as they're phrased a little more thoughtfully.

[mayoturbo]
