You could come over, go down in a non-mini and meet everyone down there

Yeah, modern cars are better mile munchers, but late night driving on empty roads is so much fun in a mini. Surely an MPi is much more luxurious that an older mini?

I used to love coming back from work at 2300, dark clear roads in a mini = great fun

Good luck. Stuck head killed my stag engine!

What makes this so bad was that my dad parked up an immaculate stag some 20 years ago after restoring it, with a fully rebuilt engine on just 2000 miles. Now it's in a pretty poor state and the engine is seized.
Every year he says he's going to get it running again but I've had enough of that so I've decided to start for him.

I had two 10 ton bottle jacks across the vee, engine hoist on the head, wheels off the ground and jackhammer on the stud head. Like this for 10 days. Managed to get 5 thou feeler under the head. Pal in stag club did a swap out for a good recon engine. He drilled out the studs with some fancy jig he had. Lovely car but a bugger of an engine.

Twas a god awful car but better than sitting in an enclosed train carriage for hours alongside people with diseases. I never understood the logic of Lada fitting a 1300 engine to a car that weighs the same as Russia

You're FAR better off breaking them when you've let the MOT run out. Make a load of money back then.

Where was it stored? Damp, cold garages can cause rust to start if there are any bits not completely protected.

It's a dry garage, think it had a hard life before I got it as the hidden issues are really starting to show now...

You can be the designated driver. At least 5 people crammed in your Mini.
