[Miss Demeanour]

Well that's a big pat on the back for you .....if that's his name 

So what is it to be for the next project ? 

[Nick]

I think he has to put the car together first 

[Just One More]

I once saw a mini that belonged to a member of the Basingstoke Mini Club, this one  

[GROWLER]

I see he had to get a man in 

My mate Graeme... 

Got ENORMOUS tits han'e ey?

[Nick]

Growler is a gayer

Well done anyways BM.

Me Mi lives and sounds so familiar and sweet too.

I'M proud of you anyway.

Luv to see this shower of sarcy bastards do half of what you've done so far.

Thanx....

Radiator has a leak.... 

[Snoopy]

TBH I don't think I ever owned a Mini that didn't. Just about every Mini owner I knew carried a couple of pints of water in the boot.

It has a pinhole in it and water pisses out when it gets hot.... 

Annoying cos I spent a week cleaning it and painting.... 

I think I must have clunked it on something at some point.... 

Anyhoo... pointless to put it back in the car with a leak - they'll come later - new radiator ordered.

Should have lobbed a bottle of K Seal in it first.
Absolutely amazing stuff it is, unlike all the usual suspects like Radweld.

Had a small leak in my road car rad 3 years ago, and on recommendation bought some and chucked it in, fully expecting it NOT to werk.

As I say, that was 3 years ago, and it's still not leaking.

Gets rave reviews everywhere.

It is out of the car at the moment tho and a quick swap...

Once the engine is installed it is a nightmare to remove it.... So makes sense to fit a new one....

171 snotters delivered tho!

GULP of epic proprtions!

HOW MUCH?!!

Haven't you got a rad repair specialist out there that could have fixed it like what I has down the road 'ere?

Now that IS bloody extortion that is.

Like the wings for my 'Uncle Festa'
They were about 30 snotters when the mk 1 was in production.
2nd hand ones are now fetching upwards of 150 now!

Fortunately I don't need one, but am going to have to spend long cold dark winter nights in its nest waxoiling every square millimeter of them, and they don't come off either (welded on)
