Hopefully this will continue onto being a long-running thread.

Stolen from another forum.

Pics are ok - limit them to one or two if you can, and keep them at a usable forum size (800x600).


SO.... What did you do on your Mini today?

Today I bought some new fuel line, new Facet competition fuel pump, and did a small rust replacement on the rear floor (panel that the rear seat cushion sits on).

I chased some electrical faults and cleaned up the wiring a bit in spots.

Then took it for a drive.
