I caught an unfortunate mini with its pants down....it had come to a grinding halt on the eastern freeway. The problem was a lot more terminal than a wet dizzy cap unfortunately. Good luck to Nick as he gets it fixed.

But what a beautiful little car it is, perfect inside.

Nasty, nasty mechanical noises :(

The Holy Trinity of busted minis problems.

Massive oil consumption,
clunking noises,
and complete loss of oil pressure.

:(

or so he says... (after that description i wasn't going to pull anything apart)
