Eibach springs have been ordered :)

Re: Will a crash in a works vehicle with business insurance effect my personal insura Are you a named driver on the company car, or is it just a pool car for anyone and everyone to use?

Apparently people go to City airport and Excel but I've never been.

My plate: 3rd car it's been on now... I also have another plate on retention cos it's an 11. EL11 OTD - Elliot D, wanted the plate for ages and managed to get it. Just need a car to put it on now! Admiral charged me £17.50 to change the details.

You should start using a towel to dry the sweat, you might break the door handle...

My xenons are left on 24/7 because they look cool. I had auto lights on my old car and don't now...so it's just easier to leave them on!

Strongly dislike stickerbombing.

I'm not bothered about coilovers, maybe I'll get a set of Eibach springs in the future. I'd love the aero kit but at £1150 it's not going to happen anytime soon!

Really happy with how the car is looking now, gave it a good clean and put my plate on today:

Yes cos the R50 Cooper is really the same car...

Yeah that's the older model. Do you think the backbox would make much of a difference on the MPG?

I haven't had a motorway run yet. I'm still getting around 25MPG, best I've seen is 28MPG out of a tank. My wallet isn't taking too kindly to the new thirsty car!

New JCW wheels & side scuttles: I'll do some decent pictures when I put my plate on and give it a good clean...

I'll be honest mate, I'm not entirely sure. It definitely does shades around red, not 100% if it goes red. I had it to the rainbow setting which runs through all of the colours constantly, looked really cool.

Take a look.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=300558969138&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

There was nothing in it really..

Just wondering if he was on here. I had a little encounter with him in the Mini.

Who was the guy with the black 182?

Turbo'd.

There are loads of funky retro options for the Minis. They're not the most comfy seats in the world but I think they look decent. Much happier with the car now, opposed to when I originally got it. Changed the Pirelli tyres over to Dunlops, they grip a lot better. The fuel still isn't good...

Piss off Corsa boy.

Sell it for parts mate, gonna take a lot of jigging and bending etc.. If it was just bolt on parts I'd say sort it but it's not!

All achievable with my head unit for sale, thanks for replying.

Couple of robberies have happened in my road over the last couple of years. My mate 5 minutes round the corner had his Corsa keyed 2 or 3 times, all down the same side. And someone tried ripping off his Irmscher grille. Poor boy :( My mum also had her car keyed across 3 panels when she was...

Please don't. It looks like the car has some sort of infection.

Hmmmmm, might have to be done.

Great pictures, sounds like you enjoyed yourself thoroughly!

Does yours make much of a noise on idle? I can hear like a ticking noise when it runs.

You can get the speed up on the digital part of the revometer.

Recently picked this up, after owning a 100BHP Clio. Not completely in love with it yet unfortunately. Getting 25MPG (probs my fault), haven't found a comfy seating position yet, not 100% with the handling - probably the run flats. However loving the power upgrade and the few small changes...
