Killed all the officials with the smoke that my car creates at a motorkhana on sunday

Went to the workshop and dressed up in work clothes. No parts yet Looked at the Mini, moved the bonnet, opened the doors, closed the doors, assessed the quality of the last nuts and bolts I tightened. Grabbed a rag and wiped my hands (even though not even dirty or greasy). Sat on a seat and grabbed the new Mini Modifying book I bought and had a read for and hour or so.
Come on parts.... i am bored......

No idea, that's the way I got it, tested out the horn (thought the horn was in the wheel boss, then discovered it's on the stalk lol) a few months ago and it was really weak, then i think it spat out some dust and it sounded fine. And now it's not really working again, so I'll just get a new one and probably mount it downwards as I imagine dust and water would get in, but may be wrong. Did yours have it up as well?

Played with the Hydro height. Managed to get a grease gun type pump working, which suprised me. Will have to set the final height once the motor is back in.

Gave it a wash, rolled it back in the garage.

To be honest I can't remember. I had mine off for so long now and only just put it back on Sunday. Perhaps a flick through a workshop manual might be in order...

I have a couple of Ford horns. I might mod them to fit (Slightly smaller and lighter) and bolt those on instead of the pathetic wheeeeeze I get now.

Fitted 4 new AO32R's to the Black S ready for this -

Should be good fun

Put on some fake Cooper style plastic chrome side trims to hold on the new body colour matched flares that I FINALLY got around to painting. Had some new spotties turn up today too (weekend job).

Took mine to the spray painters , thanks to Aussie Brian for helping with the trailer and transport.

Finished off a few bits and pieces. Most exciting of which was the fitting of the dash. It'll still need a bit of tweeking, but hopefully I'm only a couple of weeks away from a blue slip!

Not the best photo...
