Getting fed up of Minis. Every time I try and do something nice to improve the car it never works out.

I know the feeling. Well at least it is never straightforward. I always think cool it will be nice when I renew this / that and then there is always some kind of compromise, or something doesn't seem quite right with it and you don't get that nice feeling you were aiming for!

Did you get it out? Or did it meet a sticky end?

I chased it out. It was going all the way round the open back door and not out of it. Stupid thing. Can't kill bees. Wasps, no problem - get the spray out.

Listening to Aerosmith ' I don't want to miss a thing'. It's so addictive. :) Awesome song!

Oh the joys of receiving a letter to tell you that your tax exempt vehicle that doesn't need a tax disc is about to run out of tax.

I have just received a parcel. It contained 1000 rivets. I know how to rock.

You was gunning for the punch line. It's a pressing issue. :)

Managed to get the second cylinder head off the Stag. Been sitting for 29 years and only had trouble with one stud.

They're*. Depends what you want out of the car. I've just ordered a set of 13x7 ultralites as I love the look, grip is massively improved with the wider wheels although some say you lose the feel.

I suppose the only problem i've had is the wheels rub on my wide arches when I reverse at full lock. Doesn't matter that much.
But they do look a lot better in my opinion.

Additional fusebox wired in and extra fan for radiator all wired up. Starting to tick things off the list ready for L2B!!!

Wiring in an extra cooling fan for L2B last year was the best thing I did. No way my car would've made it otherwise!

Not so much luck with the stag engine today. One stud...the last stud wouldn't come out, so I'll try again tomorrow.

see status below, I'm sure it covers stags as well

That was me too. I'm beginning to see a pattern with my projects. Buy a second mini, move it aside to work on third mini.
Minis are boring, play with the stag instead.

Hopefully I will go full circle and get back onto the first mini
