Well surprise surprise, i took me s**t box for a spin over the weekend, went for a strap up to Port Douglas. 1st time ive driven it in about 6mths, thanks to my broken leg. Was still quite difficult to drive, as i broke my clutch leg and now have NO muscle in that leg at all. Thanks to my heavy clutch, that made things interesting!!!! But it drove fine, other than having 15psi in all the tyres!

6 months? that's a cat nap for a mini :lol:

I've heard of cars running after 20 years! all they needed was an oil change, spark plugs and coolant!

The clutch will soon get condition back into that leg!

Nothing feels better than stepping back behind the wheel of a Mini after you've had a while away. 8)

I still don't understand why you call it a sh!tbox.
This car is awesome... you should be proud of it!

S**t Box??? Its just one of those things i spose. Ive almost gotten to the stage where i hate the car!! I sometimes regret all the time and money that ive spent on it! Yes it is an immaculate car, but i dont like to boast, so i call it a S**t box. Simple???

Ive sent the Dizzy to Mini Automotive to be re-bushed and graphed, also waiting on this Petronix Ignition kit from the US. Hopefully i can get it all to fit!!!!???
