Just looking through the local paper, thought I'd glance at the jobs section to see if anyone wanted me.
And there it was, the dream job for a mini nut, wanted at Mini and Moke World, mini mechanic, must have experience in classic minis.
I've only had 45 years of working on Mini's so the job will probably go to someone with more experience.

Yep, I have 52 years up this year working on bricks, and my mate has 54 years up. What he doesn't know is not worth knowing.

But you don't know why 2nd gear is a problem you wont get the job lol

You were quick with that Goldie !. Even my mate couldn't help me on that one, lol.

I am trying to undercut you for the job lmao

Dang! That puts me out of the running then.

1st/2nd selector hub around the wrong way

No offence intended here but--> anyone writing a book about minis 30 years ago may not have experienced such worn or stuffed-with components as we are finding these days.

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

Well done on finding out the problem you might get the job now
