I have had my 1998 Mini Mpi 6 years since yesterday the 12th January ;)
I will be putting it back on the road start of March for a couple of months :) and parking up my Cooper S to give my Classic much needed time back on the roads.

Just been out getting my classic running properly in preparation for putting it back on the road at the end of the month. It was missing badly so found a bad plug lead. Swapped it with a good spare and also put in a new set of spare plugs I had for it. Running Sweet now! :)
Also sorted the seized clutch arm!
Classic Mini's........ You gotta love them!
