Hello there Im after a bit of advise regarding my mini I gave it a clean about two weeks ago and put it in the garage.
I usually cover it over but have been working on the old girl so left it uncovered.
We are heading to a show on sat and she is slighty dusty but i want to add a bit of a...
As my insurance is up on my classic mini and I'm thinking about buying a 1.2 16v clio
Then putting the 172 sport wheels on it, matching exhaust lowered, thoughts? :approve:
So after a bit of a chat in a welcome thread it come to light how many of us are actually in a small area of Somerset and how many are actually willing to travel to us!
It will be good for a get together to start putting some names to faces and get to know our local crowd!
Now I was looking at...
Right summers nearly here so time to get some chester mini meets on the go!
With it being the first one of the summer and the first one after the big meet I think it would be nice to have a fairly relaxed meet get to know some of the new people in the area and new to cs!
So the plan!
Meet at...

The route is up the a6 from wigan into preston then pitstop at glasson dock get some pics then move on up the coastal road to lancaster then...
Hi guys. Been looking high and low on the web for the above but can't find it anyway. I've got a macbook pro 15" 2008 model aluminium one. I after a black rubber case for it. Does anyone know where to get one from. I've tried ebay but nothing. A link would be good thanks.
thought id take my mini for a 1/4 mile run despite it not being built for that as i thought it would be a bit of fun.
day was wet to start with then started to dry, traction was a nightmare and on the first run was crossing the line in 5th spinning the wheels at a poultry 75mph lol.specky did a...
I always thought they'd look good, however never seen it done, although i'd like to be a trend setter currently dont have a clio to put minilites on...
The dog was in lazy mode today after a walk so thought i'd make the most of it and practice with camera.
First time really coming off "auto mode", difference is like night and day!
Anyway here is the results:

Bit of a last minute decision to catch up for a few snaps today. Apparently the last day of the good run of sunshine so it was out with the cameras and sponges (hi craig:o). Gaz left early on so myself and callum headed to a cracking wee location. Hopefully adds the pics of his to the thread as...
Was great to meet some new faces and thanks to Jim for making the area 'safe'.
Just a few of the better pictures from this morning - Had to doctor most in Picasa, as my photo skillz are terrible.
Hopefully millerdom will have got some better ones to add later.

Hi guys this is purely a mess around and didnt take us long at all. Just got the Magic Lantern installed (firmware) on the 60D for filmmaking and it is insane for the functionality. Out of the hundreds of settings we just played with a few. Took about 45 mins including editing in Pinnacle. Hope...
Any opinions or experiences? Do they get noisy when playing 1080p video? There's something deeply cool about the thought of connecting up to my rather large television, and essentially having a massive Mac in my lounge. Wireless keyboard and Magic Trackpad on the coffee table. Win?
Any negatives?
Only took a few pictures as I didn't have much battery in my camera. A good day out though.

Nice day and after an engine failure four years ago in my 182, (internal) i am defo keeping ontop of this baby. Previous oil was Shell Helix Ultra 5w 40 (as used by Ferrari) but at £47.99 for 5 litres i thought i'd try something else. Consulted the (very knowledgeable) people at the motor spares...
Meet in Preston with some of the northwest performance lot if anyone is game I am going to tale the chance of the meet to make some cool videos and photos on the way up! Maybe a few when we are there! I am thinking covo up starting in chester then meet in lymm then pop up to Preston! So who's...
I'm in a bit of a dilemma. Basically, some people may know that I bought my first house and have been renovating. The house is nearly ready now and the girlfriend and I shall be moving in soon enough. She has been on my insurance for a little while now driving the RB but not building her own NCB...
Decided after work today I would give the 182 a quick wash and polish! Thought I would share some photos with you guys :)
This is only a very quick once over, in fact, there is no detail about it :)
Anyway so here are some before pics, it wasnt massively filthy, but did need a clean...
So a couple of us are meeting up at McDonald's at hankridge farm in Taunton tomorrow nite (2/3/12) at about 9ish, thought I'd throw a thread up incase anyone else local fancied coming along.
Due to this lovely weather we're being treated to this weekend i thought I'd give the Cup a much needed polish and just a general TLC session.
Polish of choice was Auto Glym Super Resin Polish.
Anyway, here's some pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/75442420@N05/6782124400/in/photostream/...
It seems this weekend was 'flamer cleaning' weekend. Steve from R-Sports did his, Dawn (Magpie V6) did her's and I had a stab at my very first 'detail'.
Made a school boy error, not taking photos before hand. Suffice to say, it was 'dirty' at best, 'filthy' at worst. :o
I'm no expert (in...
