    After selling my R53 JCW last year, I've found I've missed it ever since so just bought my wife a 2004 Astro Black R53 as her run around that hopefully I can steal occasionally!

    She's only just bought it and already wants some chrome mirror caps. I thought it was only blokes into modding (sexist I know, sorry) I'll pop that in the wanted section in a second.

    Proper maintenance is much more important John when it comes to minis

    Oh no mate I dread to think ... Welcome back John
    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.
