Great sound Ferg...more anti-social revving next time though, eh? :)

This was done at nearly midnight on Christmas Eve so..........on pain of death I had to refrain from anti-social revving as much as possible lol

I'm over 140 at the moment so I'll be joining you soon. I don't think this car would have survived this long without Ger and Aiden taking care of it!

As you say Proper maintenance is essential on these but then you have a cracking car ;)

Fitted Carbon fiber scoop & boot handle today as some pre-birthday presents I got myself :)
Both second hand bargains too which was even better.
Much Thanks to Ger for helping me fit the scoop as there were a few broken clips etc.
Delighted with the new look :) :)

Very quickly taken two photos just after they were fitted and the car not washed.

These next two were taken after the Cooper S got a much needed wash :)

Got my alloys today :)

MG "Straights".
17"

Probably going to use them without the centre caps though like this :

And just get a small centre cap insert for the hole with MINI on them.

They look to be in great shape Ferg (round), and will be something a little different to the usual suspects. Look forward to seeing them fully fitted up!
