Everythings up in arms atm, but, it looks like the mini can stay... Won on a scratchcard this morning, £1000 my way! :) Pure luck when I need it most!

With all the work you've put into that car of yours you deserve it. It would be criminal for you to have to get rid of the car

Currently trying to trace a working distributor. 'acquired' the right one, and it's dead... coil fell to peices in my hand. Ordered a new one at £300 - came, wrong plugs - nobody seems to stock the twin plug obd1 setup.

[johny:)]

I'm shure you can buy the coils new on eBay could you not just put a new coil in it

[thelegg]

cant you use your old coil or is that also fit for the bin ? theres also a few people breaking hondas on ebay

The coils knackered, as is every single connector inside the dizzy, its fit for nothing but the bin! Going to look into coil on plug setups!

**** mate! Hope your ok! What happened?

Was heading down towards Lochaline to get the ferry to Mull for the rally this weekend... Came round a bend 40/45 mph to be met by some ******* flying at me - I decided the speed he was doing I'd rather take for the grass than hit him. Took for the grass, locked up and went off the edge. Took the front left wishbone out, which yanked the steering out my hands which through me straight into a boulder, caught the front end and somersaulted me length ways (not speed, bear in mind the van was almost vertical due to going over the edge anyway, landed on the roof and rolled onto its side. All pretty much a blur if i'm honest - both got away unscathed though, which would be a completely different story if I'd chosen the other option and hit him. He must of been on 65/70, would of been a mess. knows he was in the wrong as he shouted something and drove off as I was trying to climb out the passenger door...

Managed to get it back on it's wheels and drove it along the shore, as the tide was coming in...



Managed to keep it out the water, by the time the recovery came the water was just lapping at the wheels!

I'm going to try and get it on the road again this week - these things are built like tanks!
