Gah. The TF failed its MOT on wishbones. Would be simple on any other car, on the TF you have to drop the front subframe to change them!

Done this before, managed to just about get away with dropping it down and supporting it cleared the box section the wishbone bolts sit within, just locked the column to stop the clock spring spinning in the steering wheel, and un bbolted the pinch bolt at the bottom. Thought it was going to be a hell of a lot worse, think it's manageable in a mornings work on the floor. From what I've seen it's common that they rot out in the hollow section in the middle... Good luck!

I just burst out laughing at a comment under a video of a fat kid getting hit in the face with an American football. The comment said "later that kid had the player frozen in carbonite"

Declaring the mini SORN today. I'm feeling quite down about it to be honest. :( It will be kept in the garage though, and the turbo project will continue, when money allows. :) I will miss driving the thing. Never fails to put me in a good mood, and I'm a right grumpy sod sometimes.

-
Anthony30
Want to get the turbo and ignition done by next year. It depends on money really. Aiming for MITP again this year, but in the Astra this time. We'll see. Fancy doing IMM 2016, but it probably won't be done by then.

Sounds good :)
Can't wait for MITP! Only down the road and my favourite show of the year. I'll have to keep an eye out for the astra then :p

M62 East, then M6 south near warrington. Usually take a break at Birmingham. It goes without saying, I'll have TMF stickers on both sides of the astra. :) Might do it tomorrow.

I saw a few minis as well as some friends heading into London today any ideas?

Started cycling, since fuel is so expensive, hopefully going to save some cash and get exercise at the same time.

That could quite easily be taken out of context :P
