So apparently charging a phone and answering it are the most difficult things to do in the world.....

Yep, although I'm determined to get it into a good state, just annoying that the saving of funds for things takes so long :( but one day it will all be worth it ... (so i hear) just got to keep plugging away

Pingu
I guess we still in honeymoon period but I don't think I could I've had so much fun with pingu this year and gone out and meet some great people made some great friends that I would not of met if I did not have this little car. My argument is always the same they don't make them anymore and when your old and wrinkled you would see one on telly and say I had one of those or you can look out your window and see the little old thing sitting in the drive :0)

Ok so daily Fiesta Ecoboost is soon to be joined by an Audi A3 (company car) which means time for the Mini to be taken off the road and get sorted. After Bingley of course.... exciting/expensive times!!

According to the statistics I can find online the Astra should have it. The 1.9 engine is the same as in the Vectra. Its either the 120 or 150bhp version. The audi is only 104bhp and the two weigh about the same.

If you had said 6am then I'd say you need to see the doctor!! 5am is just about right.

My Gran bought me a giant novelty pencil for Christmas. I'm not sure what to do with it now as it won't even fit in our lathe so I can't sharpen it.

It's been 2 years for me as well. With constantly being gone due to work. I understand. Press with it!! I work on it 2 hours a day. It's gets me to motivated. Try it out that way. Just 2 hours and time yourself. You'd be surprised what you can complete in that time frame.

Now I’ve started up, checked over and warmed up the mini after being sat outside (still frosty) for the last 3 weeks unused, I now need to warm myself back up.

What did you do before you left it sitting? Did you disconnect the battery?
