You should move this topic to the Projects section. Ask a moderator to do it for you.

Do you keep a bed in your workshop or a workshop in the bedroom?

[pben123]

yes 

 

is that a couple of old mini's in the background?

yes we have three  old minis green one is  a 998cc the brown one is a 1480cc straight cut gearbox screamer and the blue one has a 1090cc shark ossicle engine 

[bluecar1]

nice, do they suffer the original problem of breaking down in the wet, due to the distributor being mounted right at the front and getting soaked easily

 

not that a mate of mine in the 80's had one but could rarely get anywhere unless it was sunny

[pben123]

they have electronic distributors  fitted from aldon and ater doesn't effect them

Mini's and a citigo rally car.......it's like my wet dream come true.................I probably shouldn't have said that should I?

[mac11irl]
