He is using the hand winch to pull his mini into his garage, probably up a slight hill (they don't show up too well in photos) ;-)

I know because I did the same with my 850 on Monday night!!! :-D

Finished buffing the car then did a trial drive on and fit onto the trailer and worked out best place to locate anchors for the tie down straps.
Almost ready to start the drive to Melbourne tomorrow night. :)

Sacked myself, ending 23 years in graphic design. I've been self employed for the last ten years but was made an unexpected offer to change careers.

Which means I should get two full weeks in my workshop to get the Estate back on the road. New door skins have been order and I've got all the paint etc.

Yeeehaaah!
