To be fair, it is a very nice Metro. I'd be sorry too.

It is very nice. If I was closer to you, I might have bought it off you and loved it as much as you do :-)

Thanks :) I love it and so does my family. But I have two minis both projects so if I kept it, it would just get rustier so hopefully someone else can do the little bits that need doing now so it can stay nice!

I meant your wheels, I figured they would be cast relatively the same if they are from JBW :) (thanks though!)

What did the invite say 'quick catch-up' or 'quick update' - wonder how they would feel to be on the receiving end.

have you got a welder? Could weld a nut on it.
Failing that, giving the stud a good hard whack on the head with a mallet helps, in most cases it shifts the rust/ corrosion just enough to start turning the stud.

the stud actually broke getting tightened up.. I didn't let it have time to corrode and WD-40'ed it straight away.. its just sealed proper

I stuck a girl's car keys to a bench at college using epoxy resin once. I put just enough on the back of her keyring so you didn't immediately see it. It looked at though they were just sitting there but they were well and truly stuck.

Your mug is singing to itself: 'Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle with glue'

I used my mates 1.2 punto to tow an old mini of mine on a single axle trailer. I only needed to tow it less than a mile and it wasn't very comfortable.

Combined gross weight of 3.5 ton or under or 750kg gross trailer weight if over 3.5 ton. The towing weight for your car is ~900kgs, I think you'd struggle to get a trailer with a plated weight that low
