The big brown s? Not really. It is wife's daily. Cool car, goes better than our 2002 supercharged s she used to have, and decent foot room and a decent boot is good.
Saying that I have put a strut brace on and some decent tyres (it came from Japan with snow tyres on it).

What's the edging you used on the wheelarches/sill join - looks as though it bends more than some?

It is the flexible one from Huddersfield mini spares. Is thinner, so doesn't have the old look of the ridged original, but bends really well without creasing etc.

How did you find the change from 13's back to 10's? What improvement did you notice?
Looking for first hand advice.
Thanks

My car used to pull me around a lot with big tyres and lsd. Replaced steering rack and all bushes with rod ends. Then it came good. The 13s were fine then. I went with 10s as tyre selection much better here and weigh less. I will find some decent 13 inch tyres and still run on road.

Looks amazing, I think you said right at the beginning of this thread that you had revved minis up to 10k rpm ! A page or so back - what is the benefit of the plug lead clamps that you use - blue ally looks like - does it help in any way ?
