just a little warning took me mini for painting on saturday and as it were bare metal and the weathers been shite i covered it with them plastic tarporlin type covers, the ones from b&q. put the cover over the mini and then hoped the wheel tie down straps over the wheels and cover. so the covers over wheels and under the straps, get the idea?

anyway left liverpool ok. checked at warrington (half way) everything ok. got to the paintshop at manchester got out of the van worked round to trailer "hey the straps have fell of the wheels this side." "oh shit they have off the otherside aswell"

opps i was so so lucky they mini didnt fall off all that was holding it on was gravity and a handbrake anyway lesson learnt.

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.
