gear change is a lot more precise now , so something good came out
of losing the roll pin.

started work on Rattys new parking space today, started to dig up the front
lawn . going to stone it all, now I have permision from the missus LOL..

Glad its all working well for you now Mr. Carl.

And a nice new parking space for it, put a raised bed around it with some petunias in it, and it would be a real mans car parking space .

It would be in Mini heaven, AAAAAAMEN!
