Afternoon speccers... good to see that the perfect mini is almost here chris... it's been a long time in the making of this one ... the recaros will just finish it off nicely

That pic of the M3 looks great... just hope it turn out looking something like that

I still wish I was able to make MtM this year... so gutted that I can't pull the funds needed... had to buy a big printer instead

Brakes are being fitted Monday, got let down on the braided hoses and brake fluid

2 weeks away yet - think I'll just fit the brakes first, see how that goes, get the hoses later if I think it might improve them ?

Ohhh.... nice red calipers to go with the paintwork ... I'll be very interested to hear about how much difference the hoses and new fluid makes too... I've been thinking of adding them to mine

btw the printer was a necessary business purchase... getting drawings printed in Belfast wasn't working out ...unfortunately I don't think MtM is part of the business plan
