Good morning all. Nice and bright and sunny here today
Got another week of afternoon/evening deliveries ahead then, hopefully, some more work at the big house Trying to get the MGF back together for its MOT but, one thing seems to be leading to another Started with just fitting a new ball joint which turned into a pair of rear shocks, new anti roll bar bushes, a full exhaust system, (second hand), a small bodywork repair and now waiting for a pair of engine bay heat shields off eBay Only noticed how rotten they were when removing the down pipe At least I've found the source of the annoying engine bay rattle Welcome back home too Phil

Good morning all! Yes, really late for me... day 2 of 2 days off and it has been lovely spending time with my beautiful girlfriend! Got a copy of the current (at time of writing) Practical Classics magazine and have been reading the Staff Car Saga section. The state of that ZT-T! Some car dealers, eh!
Tomorrow I start 7 days of late-late middle shifts... I plan to win the lottery on Wednesday though... Have a great day!

Morning Derek - how are you and Lilian today?

... whilst wandering around the web - and thought of you I'd never really appreciated the difference in size between the generations - seeing them side by side like this really emphasises how massively the Mini has grown.

That is a great pic! It just shows how far removed from a Mini the BINI really is Both awesome rally cars though, although the newer has never really gained the success of the proper Mini and probably never will Can't help thinking those modern seats, in the proper Mini, look a tad out of place!
