My mini, very much a love/hate phase at the moment. When it's running right I love it but recently I have started to hate it very much so, but by next week I'll be in love again.

I bought it early feb just after the staffordshire mini show, I'm sure a few of you will have seen it there.

Unfortunately during the past month or so it's gone through three head gaskets, and last week it was running on two cylinders so took her to bits once again to find my pistons were, for want of a better word, f****d

Now I've decided to keep this engine and squeeze as much power as humanly possible out of it over many many years. Rebuilding it from scratch in the process.

Just got a bargain engine from ebay which I'll be picking up on friday to fit over the weekend
