Well, my temporary new home.
I have moved the blog away from wordpress.com as I was getting a little fed up with the attitude of the management. The restrictions placed on wp.com users were getting ridiculous and as I have paid hosting I thought I would move here for the time being.
I will be registering […]
Something that has always fascinated me is the dynamics of sound when installing speakers in the Mini. There are no “ideal” positions to put speakers in the Mini because of the way it was designed. We can get around this by building custom housings for component speakers to sit under the dash at […]
First up, I cannot believe that it’s been 4 months since I wrote anything on here. If you know me personally then you’ll know the shit that we’ve gone through in the last couple of months. If you don’t you can find the gory details at my personal blog.
I thought I’d re-introduce regular […]
Part 1 of the Engine change introduced the car, his dead engine and us getting to the point where we had to change the bolts holding the clutch slave cylinder on as they were too long and were fouling the flywheel. We attempted the first start on the engine and nothing happened…

The Silver Ring Rally has lots to answer for!

On their return from the rally, I heard a rumour […]
And so, things have been hectic on the Mini front for the last three weeks or so.
At the end of July I had a week’s leave booked where I was supposed to be going on the Silver Ring Rally with Mini Directory. Due to an unforeseen turn of events I didn’t make it to […]
I have been on leave. Yay Me!
Anyhow, whilst on leave we painted the front end of one car and now have another one sat in the garage without an engine in it.
Having a life (and people in need!) makes for difficult blogging. I promise I will write up the engine change, paint job […]
The Silver Ring Rally is an event organised (mainly) by Daz of Minidirectory and Staffs Minis and Jeff H of P&SMOC. The event which starts at Silverstone race course today is a six day run to the classic Nurburgring race track in Germany.
Along the way they will be stopping over night in Belgium to […]
It never ceases to amaze me how little the US residents pay for gas. That’s unleaded or petrol to you and me on this side of the pond!
We pay what, ninety three, ninety four pence a litre? That’s $1.89US (according to Reuters). Scott posted (a couple of months ago) that he paid, well…
