sorry to hear, baldy man.. :)

but the thing is driving me nuts..

i had to stop twice on the way home yesterday to re-attach the center exhaust mount bolt, after it started scraping. (something that could only just be heard over the then un-muffled engine "note")

But i didn't care.. when i got home, i still gave it a pat on the roof and gave it a "nice one, little fella".. :oops:

it's like the thing is a pet..... and a tempremental one.. too..

I can't imagine driving anything else but a Mini whatever the model may be. I miss driving mine haven't since 21st June 2006, get my licence back on the 21st of March this year so I'm at the stage where I'm counting the days not months.

yep... he's now got some nice, high-tensile fencing wire twisted through the mount...
:P

still has the exhaust hole, however...
(cost analysing the idea of lcb, exhaust etc..

I sit here at work all day thinking of things to do on the Mini when I get home - then when I get home and start working on it I feel guilty like I should be doing something else and not having so much fun :?
