god not thinking about that clubman front are you?

well if you're happy with £300 then it's worth it especially if they're just over half a mile away

[Bean]

no no no.... the clubman will be mine in one way or another.... give it time, give it time

mwahahaha




But yesh!

He said £300 for the front panel and the seams under the headlights.... but he said "Don't worry, bab... I'll sort those other things out for you for free"

[*DJH*]

should bloody hope so too!

lol being a women has some uses then

i smiled sweetly and told him that if his work was good, I'd bring my other mini to him for a full-respray, next year

sorry to hear he is rotting jean! sounds like you got good deal on bodyshop though.
you say the front panel under lights(seam) has cracked? check that there are small plates connecting a panel to front panel still on arch lip.
if there isnt thats probably why its done this too much flex?
that cowboy who did reggies spray job the first time may not have put back on when a panels changed?

[Bean]

not rotting badly at all, Chris! I know it reads like he is!

But you did such a good job on him, that you've turned me into a perfectionist!!


its the tiny bit on the front panel, which was there when i bought him... just got a tad worse over winter

Then I'm getting those scuttle-wing bits done (where the wrong kind of sealant was used?)

And then yeah, it's just those bits on the front wings

I shall go check for those bits of metal, ta!


He's really not rusty at all, lol I'm just being stupidly careful and a bit obsessive!

Overall though, I think he's done brilliantly with what he's put up with this winter - so it's his little treat!

[chrissyb007]

dont you just hate the rain >
nice to see i sold him to the right person and not some young hot head who would thrash him about then it, then end up in the scrap yard! good luck with bingley if your going? might get there in the miss's corsa but the clubby resto is ongoing as still waiting to move and get my garage....
minis you either love em or hate em.

[Bean]

yeah, i really do hate the winter!

It's stupid, but those two little cracks on him have really upset me! He's just so pretty!

I will be at Bingley, yeah! If you do go, have you still got my number? Gizza ring, and I'll re-unite you two!



And I couldn't thrash Reggie!

Don't get me wrong... he does get driven lots and he gets to play on the country roads and the malvern hills! But I would never thrash him

[wolfys_mini]

young hot head who would thrash him about

[Bean]

i don't thrash him

[wolfys_mini]

maybe i just drive like your dad?

making it seem like you do, due to my slowness.

[Bean]

You just drive like my Dad!

I'm a member of the IAM

And anyway, I think it's pretty obvious, from previous events, that I hate bad drivers! So I certainly won't be joining them!
