Out on a limb...

I don't think the S had vacuum advance.

I had no idea they'd gone up so much in price!!!!

ION I've managed to make a right pigs ear of the paint on my replacement wing, it's rougher than a badgers arse and is more matte than a matte thing!!!
Think i'll admit defeat and take it to a local place see if they can rescue it!!!

I bet all you Mini luveeers are over six feet tall.


ION. I've been to the docs for a check up etc. All good,but he said lose a bit of weight from my 93.5 kilo frame. 14 stone nine and a bit I think.

I've got a perscription (ordinance in French)for a full set of bloods.

I'm happy enough about it.

Christ the cats out of the bag now.

Ordinance on prescription from French doctors??? Bomma will be feigning all sorts to get there, Fatboy will have a recurrence of Manflu and Glenrobbo will have that nasty thing again he got after a weekend ‘working away’ in Scarborough.

In my hamlet only we have enough ammo for a mini war! I went through Dover some years ago with something like 200 rounds of 2.2 on my transit dash! Never thought a thing about it.

Being a member of Trivton's aristocricy you get a free pass squire. I shall now exit the thread backwards bowing gracefully as I retreat to the servant's quarters

This one is much nicer, appears to have all parts present and correct under the bonnet including the hydro-spunk-tastic suspension and commission plate mounted on the inner wing...

(The S disc brake conversion plus servo are worth having over originality, the earlier 7'' discs weren't too good)

That does look gorgeous but the head bolts are a bit rusty, could do with some paint.

Announcing Dicky's track day at Trivton Sap Francorchamps circuit, all comers welcome, bring a brolly and a bottle of Tizer, it gets a bit wet and lonely down the back straight through Trivton Forest…

[DickyC]

Flat through Eau Rouge?

No, eyes closed through Abbey Ruins Chicane.

We should really provide hay bales.
