I`m quite looking forward to my first L2B especially now there's just a couple of days to go..
You`ll spot me in the morning queue on the Sunday from the big plume of smoke that my tired little engine likes to produce upon start up
It was until recently in hibernation for 28yrs and so its only a temporary measure as I've a nice new engine going in to it next month but until then I`m quietly confident its going to look after me !!,

The closer it gets the more worried I am!

Bu99er it's a long way back to chester!

Im thinking the same, coming from Altrincham. We can give each other a push if all else fails, 
 



you driving now on Saturday?

Yes hoping to get there about 6,00pm. Got hotel booked close by. Coming with a pal so look out for white with black roof round nose and black clubman. One of us is bound to come back on a low loader!

My dash has go pro, smart phone monitor and satnav. More tech than Apollo 11 and that managed a return journey of half a million miles!

Can you still see out the windscreen     

 

I just bought a multi socket adapter in Aldi with 3 car charge ports and 2 USB ports - kinda think the Mini would die if I plugged stuff in all that!!!

not really, i use the go pro camera as sort of a virtual windscreen, the 2 second delay takes a bit of getting used to though

So my carpet is currently sodden... Is it the sunroof leaking - is it the heater matrix? BET NOW!

Best pack a bottle of water and my breakdown card ;)

[matt050990]

Where is it stored? Where is the wettest bit? More info needed to place my bet :)

[RooBoonix]

My Mini leaks down the passenger side, hole in the front passenger footwell and and a hole under the rear seat. Then it drains out whether I'm angled forwards or backwards ;)
