Good pics, the top one is now on the desk top of the works PC ;D Anyway, the day for me wasnt without incident. Some knob reversed into the front of the Mini while we were waiting at the McD drive through first thing in the morning when we got there!!!! luckily it was only a nudge, moved one of the spot lamps and bent the steady bracket on the top, which put a small dint in the bonnet. Aparently he was reversing up as the bloke that was a good two cars distance infront of him was reversing up because he had driven to the wrong window to order. It wasnt as if he couldnt see me either as i was not right behind him, and slightly on the corner so he could ahve easily seen me if he had only looked in his nearside mirror!!!! Other than that, everything is fine with the engine and performed faultlessly, used just over half a tank of fuel the whole journey and if i had taken it easy on the way home would probibly have been a little better. Its so much fun I just cant help but use the bean stick ;D Only issue realy is that there is a creek coming from the teoboard/ pedal box area on drive take up, probibly the steady bar, or it could be a loose lower mount or the subframe mount on the toe board, we shall see. Things to do to the engine before the dyno shoot out in feb

Good run, even though, half embrassingly, we ended up leading the convoy into Rhos on Sea yet again!
"Whoops fab HORES!"
Yeah I fixed the grille on Monday night after work. I didn't realise how bad it had got, I ended up putting 16 rivets in it to repair it. Not happy - it cost me £120 only 2 years agoa and its in a poor state now.
Was all about "manning up" and playing in the wind on the Orme. Noticed how everyone copied us too hahaha. Manchester Minis - trendsetters since 1997!

With Jynx's winterised appearance, mine's usual pikiefied bodge (the grille this time), both covered in dirt and the hoon to get to the starting line I thought of this: ShedSpeed Racing!!!As we got there first does that mean we have the fastest Minis in the North West lol?
