Awesome - glad it's up and running again!

I've got mine in for it's MOT tomorrow. Still have a ball joint to replace and a headlight washer to fix before 9am tomorrow. Busy night tonight then!

Then on the way home from work the other day, the wheel arch fell off.

Nice one!

@Sir_Dave

Any ideas on this? I changed the rack on mine last Thursday - all went fine and the rack fixed my steering noise, however my steering pump is a lot noisier now. It was virtually inaudible before, but since the new rack I've developed the typical whine you hear from a lot of them.

The rack is second hand, could it be a bit 'tighter' than the old one, putting more strain on the pump?

So, possibly the end of an era, i've taken a holding deposit on the Mini :cry:
A chap saw it on M3cutters (as per the R56 fJCW), was looking to build an R53 trackcar and is coming to view it next week.
Its not something i ever thought id do, but without off-road storage, i simply cant justify the expense of 3 cars anymore.

Sounds like you need to ditch the Porsche and buy a house so you can save the MINI

Shame, thought it was part of the family lol
It is, but i cant justify it with all the other things that i need money for at the moment ... weddings in the Maldives aren't cheap 😂

I would have been Interested but already have my Fiesta St and the MR2 as a track car and the Wife would go mad if I come home with another toy :)

Sarah & i were a little sad to be honest, had some great times in it in the past 3.5 years and it had been in the family for over 10!
Luckily the new owner is a proper petrol head & will carry on to use it for what it was built for, track days!!
Bye bye Mini
