DIY Easter Weekend Drive: I need your help

Guys/Girls/Mini's

need some quickie answers before taking minny upto the hunter valley this weekend.

where (on the northshore?) is the best place to buy:

-- Some Fully Synthetic Oil - Mobil 1 or the likes. I've yet to top Minny's lubrication up (6k on the clock now), and a sudden fear of dread got me checking the dipstick last night. She could do with a drop. Any Ideas?

-- Best place for Polish, I've always been a bit of a fan of AutoGlym's range. Any Ideas on a stockist?

Sorry that these questions see a bit dumb, but being a recently arrived Pom - (2 years in the lucky country now) and only having owned Minny here since Sept-02 I've not really worked out the best place for Accessories.

I assume K-Mart is the last place any of us would visit!

Try a store like autobarn or Supercheap for the polish and the oil. If you can't get MINI grade mobil 1, try a mobil servo. They have a bigger range of viscosities in top up bottles.

Good luck

In fact K-Mart have quite a good range of products and at reasonable prices (score FlyBuys and shareholder discounts too )
