Built a pre-ordered and built to spec wooden garage over the weekend to house the car. She's now finally out of the elements and no need to keep purchasing 4 season covers at £90+ a pop.

Wish I'd ordered it a year or two ago...price of wood has shot through the roof....ouch!

Have sized it to be able to have a workbench running the width at the far end...need some shelving next as well 👍👍

Drove my Mini (the red one;, Frankie) for a short test drive in the private area after sorting out all sort of issues.

First drive for the Mini for at least 12 years, and I think at least as much for me.

Bright smile on a very sunny day :)

A little rolling road magic with Steve at track n road in Essex and Mr OAP.
It now starts. Ticks over. Accelerates. And makes an awesome noise. I do like the pops and bangs when the soft limiter comes on at 6800

So after giving the Mini a nice run out today, I filled the car with super unleaded fuel at £1.74 a litre . I have now ordered some Millers Ethanol protection which will work out much cheaper.

This stuff is supposed to be good.  I'm still on E5.

I went for the cheaper option but may give your recommendation a try in the future.

Sort of for the Mini - we 'up-cycled' some storage units, the smaller unit is destined for the garage to store gaskets as my old wooden box is falling to bits.

after converting 93 JDM mini back to carb (ecu had many problems) and deleting A/C. I decided to tidy up the wiring and get rid of the old ECU loom and install  new loom for late carb minis . All most done.
