Hi all... just thought iy wouild be interesting to see how much punishment you have put your mini through! Not in the revs kind of way but in the loaded up for a trip kind of way. the following is a pic of the Nullarbor Express loaded up for the road trip back to Melbourne from Cairns. This trip was xmas 2004 and the car has undergone a slight facelift since then (black on front) but is now well and truly into the stripped down ground up rebuild that it has been (not so) patiently waiting for (...very cool airbrushed oaint job planned...). This trip was about 4500 km and was done in a week. Had to change the head gasket in a carpark in the rain :shock: which was fun and that was only on day 2!! Anyway if any of you have pics of a LOADED mini give us a look.

Cheers, Bryan

I've never been as far as yellow wheels on a matt black car. Your mini must have been bad to get that punishment! :D :D
