So collected the mini form mymechanics the last day and brought it home and on the way the head gasket gave up the ghost!! so that will have to be replaced in the coming weeks!! unfortunately the reality is the mini won't be going anywhere fast until i can get myself some income!! So anyway just checked over the plugs and leads today as it was pinking badly too but i think i can out this down to the head gasket being shagged!! anyways adjusted my bonnet pins to angle the back of it as i was bored!! :lol:

That's all for now and most likely a few months!!

That what I love bout Matt Black, majority of my bikes are MB. I use Plasticoat BBQ paint, even done motors w/it. Temp rating is round 700c & if the motor reaches that, the paint finish is the last thing youll worry bout.
