Nice hair lol Good to see the good old british car roots run deep. Metros and minis...... what next or should I not ask Thanks :) No plans to go beyond Minis or Metros. Wouldn't mind another MK1 or 2 Escort adding to the fleet, but it certainly wouldn't be a replacement :). Suck, squeeze, bang, blow........ |

A nice selection of minis there Mandy, very nice indeed :) Did you always do the work to them as well? Thankyou :). I mainly do bodywork (had loads of practice as you can see over the years!). I've detailed a few engine bays, prepped and finished a few paint jobs. Cleaning, filling and painting jobs I enjoy. I'll attempt a few mechanical tasks if they look interesting. I like doing A series cylinder heads. Happy as Larry with a valve compressor and grinding paste. I also rebuilt part of a turbo unit last year and have helped strip a few gearboxes. I have also rebuilt a few twin pot calipers too with new seals and pistons. Will also make patches for welding jobs too. Heres a before and after pic of my Metro Advantage engine bay that I detailed, plus brake/ suspension cleanup....

Hi Mandy, great collection of cars youv'e had there, BUT , and it's a big but, JIMSTER has PM'd me about some bikini shots, you see he's asked me to ask you on his behalf if you have any pics of you in said skimpies from 20 yrs ago, i told him he was a fooking pervert but he begged me to ask , do there you are, iv'e asked for JIMSTER. and flan for that matter,lol. carl, iv'e just taken a deep dreath before pressing entrer,lol A "big butt!" indeed! lol. Hence no bikini shots I'm afraid . However I'm sure Jimster (and some others amongst you ) have quite vivid imaginations, and could envisage me tinkering with my tappets in a barely there two piece.......
