That's the colour on my mini (I think ) I'm in Co. Meath if that's any good to you?

Had a blast today, weather didnt dampen the spirits at all. It was a well laid out route with some nice roads. We slipped off after a mug of tea in Allenwood to watch the All-Ireland.
Thanks for a great day out

I was thinking that, will it pass the nct? I've all the pugs disconnected along with the battery and I just cant get the plug out of the airbag ecu. I have them all sprayed with contact cleaner as the car was lying up for years.
Any ideas how to remove the plug?

Hi all, I'm doing a bit of painting on the mini at the moment and I'm finding alot of brackets and bolts and screws are rusting, I'm just wondering is there a kit comprising of all the screw and bolts you'd need for the grill/doors etc?

There's a millers oil stock...

It's been parked up for a while, so needs a bit of work here and there. It has a few rust spots on the door bottoms, and at the small wing panel infront o...

Thanks Billy, that's what I wanted to hear
