Where is the best place to buy 13 x 7 with possibly a 50 profile tyre, and roughly how muck moolah will it cost.

Ordered my little baby from Steve at Brickworx racing, last week, in S.A., what a great bloke, really knows his stuff. My little girl will be absolutely the girl of my dreams when she arrives, he is doing an awesome job. Can't waite to get her home, I just carpeted the garage in expectation of her arrival..... The wife is getting jealous..... Stiff *&#%.

Congrats on the purchase.

What are you going to do about the inevitable oil puddle?!

Carpet can be a problem....visiting friends in NZ once I walked across the carpet they put down under the car (the Isuzu 4WD was outside)....the carpet had a dark pattern.

When I stepped onto the brand new concrete, I left a nice footprint.

Pulled the bonnet on the Suzi and found the oil filter a quarter turn from falling off.

Moral of the story....put down clean carboard or one of those tin drip trays and keep it clean so you can spot new leaks.

A empty case of Coopers works well collecting the oil I find the cardboard is thinker in their cases. Either way though any good Aussie beer case is good for collecting the oil.

i just use a drip tray. thats weird you call your mini a girl, i cant see them as girls. i think mini's are boys, they are too cheeky and angry to be girls......

All I'm going to say is temperamental. Every Mini has a different personality which will make the owner think of them of a certain gender.

Just building a new house. Plan to epoxy the garage floor before we move in. Is hard wearing and the oil just wipes off. Should look like a tough garage too, with custom shelving, workbench to match, plumbed in compressor Arr Arr Arr
