Fastest A Series Mini in the World

leeds/wakefield.

iv'e just been putting the spanners over the rear engine and all was seamingly fine ,so started on the front engine , id'only been spannering for a min or two when i noticed something i had so blindingly obviously overlooked in the past,and i think its too late to do anything about it before the w/end.javascript:void(0)
indifferent




carl, very dissapointed










its painted a different shade of green , how did i make this fundamental error, no wonder its been running like a bag of shite with missmatched engines, the whole tune will be impossible to rectify in time .,i'm going to pull both engines and fully rebuilt them in the correct leyland engine green and see if it makes a
difference, hopefully this will be the answer i've been lookin for .

i may just give up instead

Even with all your polished titanium, and nitrous you make a scholboy error like this.

Amateurs...

I'm very, VERY dissapointed.

It's not the green that's offensive, its the miss-match that's so wrong.

Just think what Lawrence llewlen-bowen would think.

Acctually he'd probably suggest putting a nice pair of floral curtains in front to hide the clash.

Maybe try this.

Red engines are for people who can't afford Ferraris!!! you can't beat an engine that is almost body colour, but for the ultimate old skool street sleeper green is best!

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem.

Someone said intelligent people pick green cars, perhaps the same applies? Or not?

We have three green cars between us. Well four if we're counting my old Golf that hasn't seen daylight in about 2 years.
