The Mini has been out of action the last week as it wouldn't turn over. The garage recovered it back to and changed my electrics.

It needed

  • Ignition Coil
  • Ignition Leads
  • Distributor Cap
  • 4 Spark Plugs

They also charged the battery and stripped and freed the free brakes on the house as they'd seized.

My project page has ended up on page 17! I haven't updated it as you can see in over 10 months!

The last official outing was taking part in the East Kent Run. Photos can be seen here, as well as the one in my signature picture.

A month or so later and the headgasket went. It was moved to a friends unit for safe keeping while I saved to get it fixed and restored.

Unfortunately plans changed, I bought another car and have lost interest in Mini's hence why I stepped down after 5 years as the South East Meets and Events Organiser.

After owning the Rover Mini Cooper for over 7 years it was hard to let go. He has been provionally sold and will be picked up and taken to its new home on Sunday 13th December.

Owning the Mini has meant a lot to me and I've experienced many great things from the superb Brands Hatch to Nurburgring Run of 2005 to the local Kent Run's. I have met many great friends through owning the Mini and its given me great memories.

I will also be selling all my spare parts so if you are after anything in particular PM me as I may have what you are after. Also keep an eye on the classifieds sections as I'll be placing items in there in the near future.

Gutted about this Dom, you've been a major part of the community and I hope you'll eventually end up with another mini some time! ;)
