Adrian's JCW

Rebuilding a Mini? Building a rally car? Making a Z Car from the Ground Up? Well, create a thread here, and keep us updated. It's a great way to track your own progress as you go along, and keep yourself sane! If you own a car, you can show it off here too.

When I got my Cooper S, Oliver was telling me to leave the sport button on all the time but I didn't listen to him.
I used only put it on the odd time if I wanted a back road blast etc.
But then I left it on for a week. I really got used to it and if I forgot to put it on I actually stall the car as the throttle isn't as responsive lol
Leave it on for while and see how you go Adrian.

A new addition to the car this week was a pair of MINI 50 side scuttles. A major impulse buy but had to do it. They are probably a bit "marmite" but they are hard to get and I like them :)

Those scuttles look grand against the Chili Red, Adrian.
Nice job!
