well, its been a few months since i had drove her, so i thought what the hell, drove out to where its kept, put in a battery, hopped in and turned it over, it started straight away, perfect, idled very happily. nice one betsy!

backed her out, and drove her back into richmond. god dam i forgot how much wheel spin u have in this thing! plus the fact that its got no brakes, at all :| (had to use my hand brake) but apart from that, its great :)

once i sell the datto :( ill get the mini back on the road, cause i miss it like crazy!!!!

cheers guys, just thought i would tell ya!

So did you not bleed your brakes or whatever you were going to do on the weekend i visited.
And you really were driving around with a brake pedal that went to the floor?

lol, get that thing back on the road :wink:

I was just without mine for 2months and the withdrawal symptoms were getting pretty bad!

Mini decided to make it worse by denying me any clutch action once i got the motor back in and started again! :? :evil: Imagine sitting there in your car with it running for the first time in ages and being totally unable to engage any gears! :shock:
