With the ULEZ coming into place in October to include the Hackney area of London, it made sense to get the mini. Tax, MOT and ULEZ exempt. 

 

Meet Dot - Doris the Morris. Picked her up last weekend and already have a long list of parts to buy and jobs to do, but oh what fun. Had a mini over 20yrs ago and all I can remember was that it was always breaking down :( , but I haven't learnt my lesson and am back for more.

 

Anyone around from Hackney area?

Looks great - well done!

I'm in West London and regularly at the Mini night at the Ace Cafe (when it's on that is). Perhaps see you there!?

Def be up for going to the Ace Cafe, been a very long time since I've been there. Not sure if Dot will make it all that way yet. Have to look at the clutch, very difficult to press down, real heavy. I need to go over some things. The gear selector box is just hanging on one bush, the other has snapped, so have that waiting to arrive from Minispares. Radiator water is a little rusty too, so will need to flush that out, don't know what she's like in traffic, but I'm not taking any chances.
