My bro has been living in London for years now......(GIT!) :lol: and he seems to be adopting the same sickness that most of us have.......he snapped a 'spotted' in Notting Hill, for me yesterday!

I didn't resize the image so you could all see the 'fine detail' that Pommie Mini's have :lol:

hard to keep a car in London mint as most people dont have a garage or even a driveway and the streets are built for horse and carts.

Speaking of which... My grill has a few small dints in it.. Nothing huge, but just wondering if anyone has a method of getting these out? I was thinking just take it off, lay the individual strip on a flat peice of wood and try hammering it out, but I'm not sure how good my panel beating skills are.

yeh thats true.. but the dints are that small it's not worth getting a whole new one. But they are noticeable in some light.

If you grill is stainless steel, you can knock the dents out, file them flat & polish the grill back to new. I know of a metal polisher at Peakhurst who can do the relativly cheap.

Anything is possible, it just takes time, lots of it for that grill.
