Irish Mini Owners Club

I am very impressed with this.

Cant help thinking that engine would be quite useful in a Mini Marcos.

He likes being chased by women waving big sticks!

Great Dunboyne racing pics. Bet I am the only person on here who attended the races there and flag marshalled too. Single seater No 4 is a Lotus 24 with Chevrolet V8 engine, entrant owner was Chris Summers, a regular visitor from UK for Dunboyne and Phoenix Park the following weekend. Happy days. Mi...

He is hoping to get over the line before you Neil!

I called in on Andrew for a look when I was over there 2 weeks ago, car is super - keep up the good work.

Just spotted this on Ebay.co.uk.

Looks very sound, located Portsmouth, just over a day to go on the auction - has lots of good bits included.

Can you open the zip??

[quote="macker"]i have a program at home in a zip file that can do that for you[/quote]

No, I have the last 6 and im not selling to you or anyone else.

I am hoping to swap them for Quinn Direct Insurance Co next week.

Look at it another way. The car is at Morecambe in Lancs, which is by the sea and has no MOT, so you cant drive it home to Cork. Assuming the car is ok, the options are: 1) Fly to Blackpool from Dublin with Aer Arran, min £100, get to Morecambe and hopefully the seller will trailer you and the car t...

What a beauty, well done Albert!

To answer the original question: Yes, the standard rocker covers will accommodate all the high lift rocker gears. The alloy aftermarket ones, including the MG Metro cover will almost all need to be relieved somewhere on the inside for full clearance. The one on your car is always the cheapest and yo...

[quote="sanguiss"]anybody knew duckhams is a thai company based in bangkok?[/quote]

Duckhams brand is owned by Castrol and the oil is made at their UK refinery!

No Flapping. They are a good fit, with a little slack - sufficient to allow some air to circulate. Also have 2 fixing straps which pass under the car to secure.

Met the guy at the weekend, revised for Classic Mini saloon covers are as follows:

Indoor/outdoor showerproof (Voyager) €65

4 ply outdoor (Stormforce) - can also be used for indoors €122

I used 6 front and 4 back, found it quite firm and good for more 'progressive' driving style.

Had a PM from Sergio re these covers and have just discovered the thread. Prices for Classic Mini saloon covers are as follows: Indoor/outdoor showerproof (Voyager) €66 4 ply outdoor (Stormforce) - can also be used for indoors €128 I think that for the future I will just offer these 2 covers, as the...

Very well done, it looks great.

Next project please.

You might need a dozen fresh eggs also!

Boys, dont forget to leave some space in the car for wife/passenger.

I meant, are you taking the Mickey?


[quote="wzd345"]One question, are you taking it?[/quote]

One question, are you taking it?

Personally I think the Silver top is more than you need, a new hiflow mechanical will do the job very well - I ran a 1380 road/ comp with 286 cam, HIF 44 for 3 years with one. The SU is a good one, fit it in the boot, close to the tank outlet or you could try the small Facet solid state. You will ne...

There is no rust!
