How come I'd never heard of Poorboys Black Hole polish until today? The stuff's a miracle in a bottle.

It's compound filler. A plaster over a broken leg, but it does a good temporary job, especially if you apply it with a DA.

I know. Bought a couple of chrome bumpers at a boot sale that had all bloomed and this stuff has brought them up like new. Fantastic!

For Beaulieu do you have to buy a ticket for everyone in the car or just one per car?

-
RossKnight
Per person as its admission to the museum

As Ross says 1 per person and the ticket gets you into the museum etc. Book in advance-its cheaper.

is it bad that I'm concidering leaving the huge hole in the metro exhaust CUs it makes it pop and band under deceleration and I'm a bit of a child? :P

If you want to hear pop and bang I'll show you what mine does now. It's brutal. Also very stupid but sounds class. Also did I see you in glossop the other month?

hmm really don't want to sell moo, debating proposing a father/daughter complete restoration job to my dad, although lives 2hours away?!

firstmini
Yeah never lived together but always been really close. He's already up for teaching me how to weld so makes sense to kinda do a complete thing together, I'll offer to pay for bits needed etc plus he restores & sells on classics in his spare time so got the workshop space and everything needed. then have a summer time only mini :)

I couldn't drive mine for 2 days this week, that was hard enough!

It was my first car too, and I learnt and took my test in it. So it means the world to me! Driving back from work yesterday with the sun shining was amazing! :D

I'm the same as above it means you have a stronger bond with the car.

New rear springs/shocks have arrived for Project Zippy. Being from Essex, they will make the car go faster. Obviously.

My Mini's first MOT tomorrow (With my ownership, of course).There's nothing wrong with it, but still a bit nerve racking.

-
Corey96Williams
The emissions were terrible too. But at least the car will be put right, and it's an opportunity to get a RC40/Maniflow that I always wanted :)

The key plus point there is that there was no mention of body corrosion issues, which is great news. I assume it is the back subframe which has been faulted, which isn't too bad a job.
Jun 06 2015 02:10 PM -
Corey96Williams
Yeah it is the rear subframe :)

haha I haven't even started yet. Only start on Monday but I've been home for 2 weeks already and the boredom is starting to set in.

Yeah I know what that feels like. At first it is really nice being back at home, but then it just gets boring

LOL! My mate just asked me, "Is it still legal to have a speedo in miles?" I'm like, "Mate. I have no reply for that."

I'd have kicked him out the car and said that a mini cannot tolerate that level of stupidity.

Haha hmmm I shall tell him about washing lines. Unfortunately I couldn't kick him out of the car; he spotted the speedo in my wardrobe prior to refurbishment. LOL MM an hour grand haha

What pizza did it order?
Jun 04 2015 08:21 AM -
Anthony30
Don't like pizza, It's awful. I was in early for a maths exam, and noticed the mini parked up at Pizza Hut, when walking from the car park to the college. On another note I paid £5 to park the damn thing. GRRR. :(
