I got a new strut mounting fitted today by O'Leary's in Ballincollig after I hit a crater last week and burst the old one and buckled my alloy. I got the alloy sorted last week too. Top work, Thanks Ger & Aidan :)

I also just cleaned and re-oiled the K&N filter in my "Dave-F" air filter system.

Fitting my bargain JCW strut brace later today.
Thanks to Adrian again for kindly delivering it recently ;)

My R53 Cooper S "Yorkie" has just gone over the Big 150,000 miles today :)
I've had the car since early 2009 and with 99,500 miles on the clock. 
I've enjoyed everyone of those miles in the car.

No he's gone to a new home, I hadn't planned on changing him but a number of recent events played my hand for me.
Yorkie has gone to a new home with a Mini Club of Ireland member ;)
