My 106 was written off this morning, and now I have no car. - Is there any MOT'd Mini's about, under £1500. Seems unlikely but worth a punt.

£1700 but not very close? http://www.theminiforum.co.uk/forums/topic/295510-rover-mini-mayfair-1293cc-1993/

Just fitted a 12g295 that my dad has given me as an early Xmas present, putting this on a 998 with 50bhp makes a massive difference, really is nippy now and I get 2nd gear wheelspin

28 large dominos pizzas destroyed at work. Minis both washed and looking pretty. Pavlova on the go. Alcohol chilling and take away soon with the family... Must be Christmas eve or something. I hope everyone has a fabulous day tomorrow and gets everything they want.

£20 per hour? Bloody hell, that's cheap! I pay £60 p/h at a Mini specialist!

Sorry not been on, yeah £20/hr is awesome, he only does minis - he's a bodywork bloke really but sorts all my mechanical probs too as I tend to just turn up & he'll sort it there and then :)

I would rather go and eat the puddle of sick from outside of a Kebab shop than go back out shopping today AGAIN

Well next year, don't buy a single present and then on Christmas day, you can claim you had bought some but can't find them. Sorted

very interested in this, I have driven an aygo for 4 years now and am very impressed. shes not fast but the engine is peppy round corners and the electric steering is perfect. cheap and easy to work on too.

I've had my 107 for for 7 years. It's a superb engine, power to weight ratio in a mini would be excellent, definitely outweighing any negatives over the standard grunt. Parts are surplus, there are about 5 cars common on UK roads with that engine, and the cars are often written off in city dings. Cheap repairs, I did an engine swap in mine in a day. The biggest worry I have is getting the loom to work.

Got the train to work, go out for breakfast then get back on the train to go home! Slightly pointless?
