Nice to hear :) such a nice feeling 8-)



With the quality, of your build, I dont think you need much luck ;) it should "sail" through.

Good luck with the MOT.
As Jens said, it should sail through no problem.

Simply gorgeous - the subtle sporting extras (including the seriously cool bootlid badging) are perfect. Health to enjoy and hopefully I can get a chance to see it in the tin if I can ever get across the water to some shows. Will you be at Goodwood Revival in Sept?

Cheers guys, the motor is a 998 Cooper, pretty much standard apart from a Kent 266 cam, she nips along nicely without too much fuss ;) , i didn`t want a rip-snorting beast, just a nice nippy, no fuss mini that was fun to drive 8-)
