    It's my Dad still helping even when he's not here Euan - I'm just the guy who delivered it :) :). Gotta love a MINI bringing a smile to your face

    It's a hard habit to break Craig, especially when you've been at it as long as we have

    Had the car out a few times now, and it's going fine - now totally manky of course, but I've decided it's better to have a dirty MINI which goes rather than a spotless MINI which doesn't! I'm sure your Dad will have a wee smile knowing that his gear is still being put to good use. Respect Sir.

    Booked in to Douglas Park MINI on 2nd March for a Bumper Bundle of servicing etc. Brake Fluid, Roadworthiness Check (it certainly feels 'roadworthy' at about 7 grand in 3rd...) and M.O.T. Thought I'd get everything done at once, then we're ready to rock in the Spring

    Great news Euan. As you said, it's better having a dirty Mini that gets used, than a clean one sitting in the garage doing nothing. Start using it as the "daily runner" and enjoy every day.
    Davy, you can ignore this post as the ramblings of the "Still Game brigade". Don't want you getting ill........

    PMSL ... No I agree it always brings a smile to my face seeing a MINI being driven but some of the ones I've seen lately I just want to follow and wash them when they get parked up lol.
    Maybe we could add this to our service big fella lol
    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.
