Yes...... its Mackay. I lived there for 2 years. Feel my pain. Not too many Mini's up there, they love the falcadore utes.

Putsy reckons its just the on board diagnostic inlet, so we should be sweet. Whats the tool costing you? (i don't mean Jan)

Looking at his site and how busy he is i am not holding my breath for him to answer. I will leave it for a while and see. It sounds like he's having trouble getting the tools from Italy (of all places)

Have PM'd you as well.

Ill be purchasing some new rims mid july, was wondering if anyone would be interested in these genuine mini 17" bullet rims with 4 eagle f1 gsd3 tyres with approx 5000k's + tread left all rims are in fantastic condition but 1 has a slight curbing, barely noticable. here are the rims on the car ATM.

New Clutch going in today.
Very excited about being able to put the power down to the road.
Watch the first two episodes of Fifth gear, not bad, format slightly changed again but still a couple of good stories.

EP 1 has a shoot out between an EVO 8 and the New RS(XR5)Focus. Hello, but are they attacking the same thing from an different angle. Have a guess which one won. Honestly I am that tired of a Suby or an EVO doing well that i am tempted to go get one and see how easily these hero's are doing it.

Perhaps I should get my brother in law to bring his 250kw evo to the next run just for you steve

[Minipnut]

or my mate to bring his 800kw AWD r34 skyline ... although it doesnt turn to well :P

[Hipsi]

wouldn't be much good on a mini run then

Went to the track the other day and had an incident on the way there. One of my front flares blew of!! Don't know where though. I remember hearing a flapping, then nothing. It didn't blow back and hit my car (I would have noticed). As it turns out I was at BMG for another reason and mentioned it to Service. They supplied and fitted a new one under guarantee. They really are good folks there.

[Minipnut]

yeah they are really good, Aaron and Paul always look after me.. and of coarse tom

I was at wellington point yesterday with some mates. Extremely windy and there was a construction wire style fence in front of some cars. I was tempted to park in an empty spot there but thought that the fence might blow over; so I parked further down near a big range rover. 30 min later the fence blew over and dented a 1 series bonnet, and lightly landed on the range rover (as well as 8 other cars). Didnt touch my car! Darwin's theory in practice.

Yer of course Tom
That just got back from the medical center and has cut half his finger off mmmm

[scolburn79]

Oh bugger, that ain't good. You'd better just delete the last text I sent you then cause you won't be doing that now till I get back....
