I have been out since just before 9am washing, chamoising, waxing, polishing, autosoling and glass cleaning. I am knackered but I have one seriously shiny Vern :thumbsup: :dontgetit: I've even managed to fix his horn by myself (that's an achievement for me), he was a lil quiet but now can't stop honking :o

Such a nice day so far! Better get driving before it turns rubbish!

:)

Thank you Mr Herbie :thumbsup:

Most of it is Autoglym I got Vern for is birthday, but my dad gave me the wax :dontgetit: All the various clothes and sponges we've collected over the years, they are Vern's though so no other cars are allowed to touch them hehe, except hot minis :o

Vern's taking me back to uni soon :)

Oh I had an answer but this is a family forum *toot toot*

He's taken me back to uni, went like the clappers! And had an unexpected mini convoy to nearly my front door O_O :ghost: Today has been ace!

Still bright sunshine here so he looks clean for a lil while longer!

I went outside last hour or so, and gave my mini a nice wash :)

then waxed it,
waxed half of it though, as sun went in. and dribbled with rain :ph34r:

but its looking sad. needs to feel the road again :)

Today i've fitted new driveshaft inner oil seals, added some blade connectors to bits of the spotlamp wiring for easy removal, changed the oil and filter, fitted a new rocker cover gasket and started cleaning the engine.

For people who havn't seen my new spotlights: O_O

It's in his project page Oli O_O Didn't want to blitz the forum with pics of him :ph34r:

She probably broke down because she wanted some more attention :)

Oh and Mike your mini looks really stunning :)

Yesterday i went to london to collect my rollcage and flip front. Today i fitted the rear half of my cage, admired my flip front, and got rid of some of the unwanted bits out of the car.
