Cheers its good to have it back. It was nice getting back in the vec today though after being battered around in the bucket seat all day. i think i've gone soft in my old age.
I've fitted the driveshaft just going to do all the engine mounts tommorow and then i'm putting it in for its re-test. It'll be all running great just in time for the wales run :)

My brother works for Mini in Warrington if you go...
Ever thought that someone else might actually have done it too? There is a girl near me who has painted a focus Rs barbie pink so its hardly out of the question
I was lucky it lasted as long as it did really. I didn't get in too late it only took ten minutes to fix once i had another hose. Hopefully i'll have my samco's by the next meet. I'm just glad i mangaed to take the clio as its missed the past two meets :(
