Morning, you filthy beasts. Away to Frankfurt today for a thing I could well do without. Whoever woke up on a spring morning and thought, I'd love to spend a few days in Hesse? No one, that's who.

Happy weeks, all.

Good morning everyone.
Got lots of cleaning done in the engine bay of the Mini.
My delivery of service items will be here later and I can start the process of putting her back together.
I've spent 22 hours on her so far and at what I charge here that would be a nice bill and then parts and consumables but as it would of been scrapped I'm doing my bit for the environment.
Have a great day all.

Morning all, a morning chasing prices and the afternoon chasing materials as I’m going to be tackling a very leaky garage/utility roof at Sally’s for the next couple of days! So a significant amount of fibreglass is going to be needed.

Have fun all…

Morning Andy and morning all. Back to my home depot in Gloucester today. First time for two weeks after Ebbw Vale depot opening and all my time there. At least I will get 60mpg going to work instead of the 45 I get going to Ebbw Vale with all those hills.

The owner didn't want to spend any more money on it €6,000 in the last 4 years they are my neighbours and it was going to be scrapped so I jumped in.
My aim is to make it the nicest 05 Mini just because I can.
Ms French now fancies it so any chance of a profit is gone.

Been trying get my missus interested in one seeing as she is finding it increasingly more difficult getting in and out of her SL , surprisingly there is a lot more room in mini's than there used to be with the originals, but alas she has been spoilt by the Bentley and has her sights on something she has become more accustomed to :mad:
