The barra speccing continues (sure it's become a wee project for ShaunJules to find me the best CF frame for it...)

CF frame is sorted speccing a SS straight-through exhaust system now... ohhh and you really need to settle on which of those furry dice you want

Cheers Mark That "health to enjoy" must be a Norn Iron thing, coz the first thing NickyJ said to me was "Health to enjoy - as you would say"

Niall, when have you *ever* known me to have a dirty MINI? I can only surmise that Aaron took it to fill it with petrol on the way home (via Dublin, possibly?)

Hopefully you'll get over here soon so we can see it in the metal

Thanks hun! Things seem to be conspiring against me at the moment, can't get racking the miles up at all Cracking day here though, so I might have to skive off a bit earlier...

And yes, the wig is taking on a life of its own, there are even small creatures living in there now

Actually, it's not worth starting a new thread on it, but does anyone know if the rear indicators are orange lenses or orange bulbs? I think they're bulbs, but there's probably one who is wiser than I...

They are orange bulbs not lenses Nylo. Can easily be changed! I've done it already.

I'dve thought that would probably be as interesting as pics of paint drying, Rakey

Thanks James, I really am! I was actually thinking about you t'other day, wondering if you were still about, hadn't seen you about for a while...



Bunked off work earlier to see if I could get a couple of half decent pics (got a sig that needs updating), and I decided to take a scoot down a lane beside the sea. Before I could get very far, look what was parked up...

(I was all gooey and mushy! )







The wee Classic even had the same interior colour scheme as mine

Have more close ups but don't have time to put them up, but I recognise it too, have definitely seen it about, but it was just to see it now

Is it part of mlni or any of that crew, Niall?
