I have not been on much recently due to work and other problems and even let my membership lapse, i had to go abroad to sort out something at very short notice but then managed to get to Lanzarote to chill out with family and finally get some much needed rest. But now i am back rested and have renewed my membership so thought i would update you on what i have been up to-
As some know just before Christmas i found the wifes dream car , a grey mini convertible . Now because we already had a JCW i wanted the same spec and this one ticked all the boxes and came fully loaded.Our other JCW was just too good a car to trade in so as you know i kept it and decided to sell the frosty, i never really got over selling my ebony (for the wrong reason) and decided i needed a change and to be honest i have started to enjoy driving again.I am still looking at cougars but i have decided that if i go down that route again then it will be a restoration and i have started a fund already but i think as i near retirement then that would be the best time for such a project.
Any way a few pics of the Minis first the wifes
I dont know why they have side loaded
and now mine
i added stripes to mine and the wife loved them so we ended up with matching
and a new induction kit also added
this uses the hood scoop and improves the throttle response vastly.
My mini is a lot faster than the wifes but hers has all the toys but both are a joy to drive, in fact the only down side is the dreams of owning a Mustang for now are out of the window .
Hope to see some of you in the not too distant future
