Is it getting a bit busy in here lol
After starting in the mini forums, then the S forums I'm now a very happy and proud owner of a 500 chim.
All seems good so far except its a whole lot easier getting in and out of the S.
Picked her up from Morecambe Bay on Saturday and drove straight to the Peak District as a stop over point.
Car looks even better with a good backdrop.










Home at last

It's even come with a few bits to fix which keeps me happy and off the streets!

Now just looking forward to the Fest this weekend.

Edited cos I dont wanna annoy, Yet

Very nice. Oil pressure and collant temperature look right at tickover too. But I bet the fuel gauge was reading full when you set off!

I wondered if anyone would comment on that.
That would be a safe bet, mind you it doesn’t seem much worse than my S.
I've got a bit over 300 miles from tank so far which impressed me.

Dave, yep, that was the one.. I think it was up for around 11k as well a few months back, so you got a bargain indeed.

I was chuffed with the price, any less and I would of felt like I was robbing him.
The guy did let it slip though that he didnt pay much more for it than what I did. I think he only did about 2000 miles in the year that he owned it.

First it was N50 JRW then at 40000 it changed to LJ1 4778 and then very recently changed to the current one.
So am I having my wicked way with your old girl then?

Oooooo it also could be N393 WOC????? What the foop is going on???
Some of my docs also say 4ltr, I wonder if its a smash up and rebulit with a 5?
