Stop Licking the Dog...I Don't Care Who Started It

I sold my first Mk1 's' in 1981 and have regretted it ever since

hold on to it until i get back to Sydney and i'll take it off your hands then if you still don't have the passion...

John, i have'nt lost the passion for mini's, just maybe for this one.

Spaceboy, your a idiot

My XR6 is my everyday car/tow vechicle, if i was to sell the S & pay off our debts it would free up $1000 a month, thats a lot when you have a $700 a week mortgage thats a lot of $$$$ to have spare.

I need to run in the new engine over the next 2 weeks, might drive it to Bathurst next weekend, who knows, maybe it will rekindle my passion for the car.

Hay, it's not about the car, it's not about the venue, it's about the people that come here. Peter Dwyer, Mayor of Hay NSW.

nobody wants to hear a multiple motorkhana champion whinging about how they've lost their "passion" for their genuine 67 bathurst competing cooper s with a fresh graham russell engine because they've got an XR6, a clubman GT another cooper s, a doll of a 71 clubman, a truck, credit cards and a house which is worth $700 a week.

jerkoff.

Just by doing that alone will re kindle the spirit, but do it by yourself if possible.
Many many times have i gone to sell NAV (very nearly did too) then took him for a drive and we made up. NAV's probably no where near as dear to me as your cooper is to you, Break in your new engine, if there is still no flame of desire park it in your garage under some nice warm car covers and let it be for now
