Spat out black crap over my neighbours license plate, went for a spin to help settle my new cones.
They feel so good!
Need to get out there and look at my rich carb mixture but am comfy indoors sipping a beer.

I haven't had to use her for 3 weeks so went out to the garage hoping she'd start in her usual 2 starts. It was minus one and two starts-not going. Tapped the accelarator a couple of times, tried again and she burst into life! :D

Picked Mr Bearface up from the station and gave her a nice drink at the petrol station.

Not seen this thread in a while!

Today the Mini was fixed! It was a minor victory, the war still goes on.
