Im sure you can get air conditioning kits for minis!!
so you could get a mini, and then get the air conditioning kit!

Too heavy I'm afraid for mine...... In theory I shouldn't drive mine as I weigh too much but screw that!!! :grin: I'll just have to start dieting!!! :nugget:

Diet... how dare you swear.....why do you think I'm making my car as light as I can...
Because I'm not that light ....... :nugget: ;)

I wasn't serious!! Have just ordered my chinese!! :grin:

Have managed with the ever helpful Pete to get the brakes lines all run and bled. The clutch lines all run and bled. the accelerator cable run and connected. The manifold has been wrapped. The boot and door rubbers are on.

Pictures to follow! :grin:

Free tickets is the only way I will ever go as at near £100 per ticket there's no way I would go normaly.... I shall be watching it on tele like everbody else tomorrow.....
Looks like Pete's to busy though .... :) :wales:

Ade,

I want a set of the flares you have on your car. Who manufactures them, and what exactly are they called? I know Curley makes Miglia flares in regular and wide.....Please let me know which yours are, and did you have any problems fitting them?

They're the Curley miglia wide arches. Fitment is pretty good I think the finish could be better but on the whole they're very nice. :cool: The main thing I'm not sure of is the rears aren't quite as good a fit as I'd have liked. But I'm not sure if thats because I've stuck them on a minus..

Anyhoo after yesterday concentrating on plumbing today started with not being able to get any of the right sized p-clips for the fuel lines so we decided to get stuck into some cosmetic stuff! To say I'm pleased with the results is an understatment :)
