Tom sure knew how to tune Minis. And I used to love watching him adjusting tappets whilst the engine was idling. The only proper way to do it, he told me.

motorlab is still an old fashioned garage, they have a fuel pump attendant that will fill your car, check your oil and tyre pressures etc.

like back when service actually meant something.

Now there's a forgotten word, or should I say 'act' these days

what the hell is going on in that backward state? one of the smartest guys in miniland in our country is closing up? Shame on you SA so called Mini fans. you all should have been supporting Adrian. Sounds like you all deserve to be patrons of the thief on the hill!!!

Probably should let someone who knows a lot more about it say, but Adrian did mention a couple of Hotbricks meetings ago that he was closing and yes it was real estate related. It's a prime location.

Also another Mini friendly business to add is Dave Armstrong Motors. It's my closest Mini friendly Mechanic (that I know of).

have a panadol and sit down. now breathe. in through the nose, out through the mouth.
have you calmed down yet?
think about how many old minis there are used as daily drivers nowdays. sweet FA.
next think about what needs replacing in minis that only get driven once a month. not much.
then think about how many mini shops there are in adelaide, proberbly too many for the amount of people with minis.
think about the owners of the prime land he is on that need to make a living too.
next if we all supported adrian then the theif on the hill or mini king or newports would be out of buisness.
you deserve a medal for typing before you think.
