    Well it's been a while, 11 years to be precise, sad to see my profile had been deleted but glad I was able to get my old user name back! My beloved RenaultSport has decided she needs a wee sabbatical at the garage so I needed to get myself a stand in car while she's having some well earned rest. An unexpected suggestion of a Mini was made (by myself) and that has resulted in my acquiring Ferb, a rather gorgeous wee 2007 R56 MCS with JCW bits and pieces. She has potential, especially now I've binned the run-flats. She has issues with power and mild reeking of black smoke and various other ailments that seem to be quite common on the R56, sadly she's had numerous owners and doesn't seem to have been loved the way she deserves so hopefully she'll get that now! All day Sunday was spent polishing so we've hopefully started as we mean to go on!

    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.
