Gedon bird. I've got a 66 Cooper with a massive engine. Get yourself to Huddersfield spares and sort the suspension out. They have some strong well made, cheap components. MWS for the cheapest sticky rubber (as if you didn't know that anyway!)

If it's an everyday car probably best to leave it relatively standard, my equinox was probably the most useable mini I ever had, most of my other had silly engines and broke down all the time, actually I think it was my only mini never to stop on me. So equinox_1275 you need any help with that sat nav demo?

The best mod I did to mine was sorting the suspension out. It goes around corners properly now. I would advocate this to everyone. Also makes it safer if you're going to drive like a fool.

Er, no... I'll still be at Gatwick Manor when you lot are in Brighton!!

As much as I love her, she isn't exactly built for speed. Or noise. So that rules out Tunnel Runs as well!!
