Be very jealous of my car - ignore my crushed bank balance

I guess trying to own a mini and go skiing was a stupid idea from the start.


The poor thing looks awful! I think if I was trying to weld this myself I'd have given up long ago. Nice work Sean.

I haven't even got to the worst part yet...................The boot!!!

I just know how awful its going to be, I still haven't removed the petrol tank yet as I hate to see whats under it!!

Thanks to you all for the positive comments. He will be a solid little car again (soon)

[DaveJH]

It is so awful - nearly cried when I removed the fuel tank for the first time. I just wanted to put it back and go back to thinking everything was fine! Can't wait to get back behind the wheel when you're done with him

[Shifty]

I may well cry too!!

[DaveJH]

I'll send the next payment in £20s so you can wipe the tears away with your earnings

[Shifty]

All of a sudden my pain has gone!!

[DaveJH]

Hopefully the tax man will finally send me my two years of rebate cheques I'm owed. I wonder what his number is - I'll ask for it in fives and then take a bath in it... before sending most of it your way

[Shifty]

I'll take it as it comes!!

I'm enjoying our dual thread/pm chat - it's more than adequately distracting me from my otherwise very boring uni work.

[Shifty]

I'm only getting drunk, by the way i've also got a huge bump on my head as well(thanks to your car)

I was pulling the sill off and slipped, banging my head into the sill lip at the same time!!

(don't worry, you've already been charged!!)

There!!

[miniman24]

Read from start to finish (also a nice distraction from my uni work ) Great to see its in good hands after all the crap you went through with the first "welder", looks like youll have a minter when Shiftys done with it

[DaveJH]

Hah - is that what you really wanted the extra money for?

[Shifty]

Look, it bleeding hurt!! Its taken 5 cans of Fosters and it still hurts!!

[DaveJH]

There's mistake number two (one being choosing to hit your head in the first place) - Fosters? 5 cans is enough to leave a weak taste in your mouth but not enough to solve the pain. Try putting a few cold ones to better use - press them against your head!
