BM's All New "Ouch that's another skinned knuckle" Mini Restoration Thread

[GROWLER]

Oh well... there'll be others!

Thanks for looking anyway!

There was some F.O.C., VW and Mini show on somewhere darn sarth today apparently.
Didn't fancy going that far on me own like...I get scared.

So you should ~ Us Southern Softies take some dealing with I can tell you

Nah, I just can't understand what they're saying like.

Seems I needn't have been all on me own today after all.

Dropped into see my favourite little S.I.L. on the way home as it was en route, only to be greeted by her middle sprog who informed me they'd all gone to the show hours ago that I'd just left.  

Nice having a bit of 'me time', but also nice to have someone to ramble on to, admire the motors with, and share me CAKE with.

Think I was the only one there that was on his own like.
 Made me feel all sad lonely and unwanted like.

[Barman]

There WAS however, about 50/75 classic cars on display, one of which was a fairly tidyish Clubman.

I can now confirm that the bumper IS in fact different to the ordinary Mini, and that the number plate light housing is indeed the same colur as the bodywerk.
The rear light clusters however are, from what I could make out, exactly the same as on the MkII Mini...oblong and bigger than the Mk1.
What's the difference on yours then?

I dunno yet...

I'm a bit of both sometimes, but there again, sometimes I'm not.

I like being on me own when there's no one around...out in the wilderness woods and mountains like,.... but not so much when I'm surrounded by families and stuff.
Weird in'it?

[Snoopy]

TBH I like being alone.

  I don't think I have ever really felt lonely.

MY ex wife always claimed I was too selfish to care about anybody else so it was impossible for me not to be content with my own company ...... she may have been right

I luv steam powered engines.

They had some BIG 'uns there today. I stood deliberately in the wind direction to catch the whiff of the smoke. They should bottle it alongside Cazzy R.

What I can't understand though, are these plant pots that have these tiny steam engines, mounted on a bit of ply wood, phut phut farting away while doing absolutely nowt of any use whatsoever, while the usually fat slob with a grey and orange tinged beard, just sits there outside his old ambulance converted into a tatty home made camper van, with his equally rotund and fearsome looking wife watching the werld go by.
You can see that the owner is just dying for you to show some interest so he can presumably bore you rigidly to death in dreary technical detail of his beloved farting machine.
Pathetic. Get a proper hobby.

Would actually probably suit Nick tbh.

Can you actually see a price for them?

Sweet.
I want.

Those ones yesterday were generally doing nowt.
I think I saw 2 pumping a couple of teaspoons of water around, and 1 powering a table lamp.

So exciting I started sleep walking.

There are 24 'kits' you have to buy...

The first kit (the front wheels) is an eye watering ?524!

THAT is obviously some sort of joke, yes?

How can they justify those sort of nonsensical prices?

I no longer want.

Any 'ow, back on topic.

I'd dearly luv to, but I'd have to buy somewhere dry and warm to keep it alongside me 'ut in the woods, that I would HAVE to move into if I came home with it.
