2 YEAR OLD 160BHP TURBO MINI REQUIRES A LOVING HOME...
Turbo Mini Forums

Guys it?s with a tear in my eye that I type this.

I?m getting married this year and have just bought a house and my Scooby are all draining my wallet, so something?s gotta give?unfortunately this is mini as I just never use it.

Its kept in my garage at all times. The last time I used it properly was at the filming for the ultimate mini extreme DVD. I treated it to a new actuator last week, and took it around the block and its running as sweet as ever.

It has NEVER broken down on me or bust a head gasket. The engine build cost me 1000?s and the turbo was 550 quid recon? from the Turbo Technics, I only take it to a couple of shows a year, and have never gotten around to whipping it up the 1/4 mile!

It needs a good caring home with somebody who will enjoy it and use it more than me, so if you?re interested, or know somebody who might be, contact me on:

www.matt.lamb@Rolls-Royce.com or mpglamb@hotmail.com or PM me here.

Hannibal: There are two ways we can do this: the easy way and the hard way. In a few minutes my friends and I are going to come down on you like your worst nightmare. You're gonna wish the Earth had opened up and swallowed you whole.
