hmm
in the mood for a +1
so

well oneday
Saturday?
Yep
well i wents to get mini from shed to wash and she no go.
I turned over the key for 5 mins, with a mix of choke, pedal, whatever? and just nothing? Nothing at all? Not even stinking smell?

so i pushed it out and gave it a bit more and prolly 3-4 mins she blogblogblerr she went

and then died

and then i started it again

and it dies

Finally it got warmed enough to go for a bit
and i took it on the road
Hell it was backfiring for a crap load in all 4 gears :shock: :shock:

I put the boot down in 4th from 90kays to pass a person and should have heard the backfiring :shock: hmmm?
well maybe it doesnt appreciate not being driven?
Havent had a proper run for 2 weeks

When i took it out in Absolutely hammering rain
Drove at 70 kays and believe me that was TOO fast
she was slipping all over the road, highway here, no grip at all, all over the place, it was a hard drive, then when i came back from the city i hit it head on

Bit 2 trailer trucks that are cheesecakeing scary enuff on the dry, in the wet
its horrible
honestly with the spray i was 100% blinded for 5 seconds. and then the heaviest rain ive ever driven in it was comeing straight parallel to the road and hitting the windscreen. And once again Honsestly i couldnt see the bonnet :shock: i had to pull over , and foolishly :P i opened the window, and it was like the ocean waves rolling in to the shore, the rain rolling off the road, many cm's constantly
It was crazy :shock:
But i got home
and the point of that was umm
Negative i dont know i just needed a strees relieving typing session?

I was going to drive the mini to work today, but it was raining so i didnt
Ill try tomorrow
I hate driving the mini in the rain?
What abouts you peoples?

there theres a topic also

How often shoud the mini get a run to make sure it properly goes?

and Do you like driving the mini in the rain? If so why? IF not what flavoured cheesecake is your favourite?
If neither? Umm, Where would you go for a holiday to another part of the world?

Goodnight
:?

I love driving in the rain.
Aquaplaning is great fun.

I hate cheesecake. The thought of it is ****** rank.
Yuck.

I would most like to holiday in somewhere Europe.
Maybe England; Greece, france, etc.

Cheesecake is cool. Most of the cheesecake shop's cakes are cool anyway....

Driving in the wet is WAY more fun than in the dry. Well, in the city it is.... theres more margin for error. :wink:

I love winter... reminds me of all those English mini videos I watch - no sun to be seen, but still plenty of shine.

Best thing about summer is knowing that winter is around the corner.

Holiday? Somewhere cold. Not snowing, just cold. Like an English summer. Would NEED to be somewhere with loads of automotive nightlife..... Japan perhaps?? 8) mmmmmmmmmmm

I always find in the wet, the car is too light and my cheap Bridgestones aren't capable of handling the power of the engine - have to be careful giving it throttle or it just brakes traction :shock: Don't like to think what a powerful engine is like...

I forgot that lemon cheesecake is tuff

Oh rain driving is fun, but only when going sideways at traffic lights and town corners, cause on the 2 lane heavily populated main highway where 60% are huge trucks, it aint too fun getting sideways or trearing about the place in the mini :shock: its too bloody scary so i dont
Ok

As if this is even remotely offtopic :?
