Probably halfrauds, depends where you are?

Motorworld(by wickes in shrews)

Bennet in Madeley and Shrewsbury(by charlies)

They're the only ones I can thinks of

[DM08]

Wish there was somewhere else but Hals is the closest to me. Bennet might be an option but ive never been there so easier to get to hals as i know the way and their prob about the same distance. I might have a ring around some scrappys monday - see if any local ones have got any minis in that i can nab a motor off. The moggy one works alright, though the wipers dont have quite as good a sweep over the screen but it does the job for now.

Right - food, cuppa, Halfrauds. Thanks for your help matey!

i have some spare fuses, if you can get to little dawley, your welcome to have the one you need. buy me a replacement when you can:-)

[Shifty]

I think it may be time to bump this back to the top!!

[DM08]

Cheers but i've got some now, infact i bought 3 packs for the hell of it. Just incase anything else decides to blow. Thinking about if i put anything else inthe car that requires goin past a fuse i might use my spare fuse box on the inside of the car instead of having lots of inline or blade fuses jotted around random wires.......saves searchin in future if one were to go and makes things easier to manage. We'll see when it comes to fitting more electrical stuff. For now *touches wood* though, wipers are working, all lights are working and i've fitted a cd player as there wasnt even a tape player present before. Very weird having music to drown out the sound of the engine!! Lets hope they both last lol

[DM08]

Just what we like to see, the more the merrier matey. If you know anyone else with a mini then give em a bell and tell em to come down. Will be good fun

[Shifty]

Yup, it should be a good turn out.

ITS A DATE!!

I have spoken with the horseshoes and they are happy to host us!!!

I have reserved a table for 7.30 next Tuesday.

Bring it on!!!

I might also post this in the Midlands Meet Section, the more coverage the better!!

[DM08]

Nice one shifty. Hmm, wonder if we can wangle some free grub if we get x amount of members.....lol.

As for the electrics their all fine now.....hope ive not just jinxed it. I've replaced all the fuses cus i thought i might as well, after id installed a radio i had three separate fuses on four of the wires.....just to be on the safe side

Ready for the next thing to go now!
