  1. Most of the excess in my garage is stuff that has migrated from the house tbf, I don’t have a massive excess of parts or car paraphernalia. The overspill is just the result of being in a smallish house. I did sell electrical stuff on fb occasionally but this was only because my local charity shops wouldn’t accept it. Thankfully my local cancer place now does. Area eventually cleared, carport repainted and cat shelf up for the neighbourhood freeloaders.
  2. I do love a good sort and clear out although my stuff tends to go to the charity shop or the tip I must admit.
  3. I found his page when someone linked to it from the Dull Man fb group and I’m glad I did.
  4. I’ve just started following this chap on instagram, awesome motor.
  5. That’s very nice of you to say, thank you. No thread on mine though.
  6. I was giving some serious thought to a 2CV for a while before I bought my Beetle. I’d still love to try one.
  7. That’s annoying. Mine last packed up around this time last year and left me sat in the glamorous location of a Home Bargains car park in Lisburn. It actually died at an adjacent (and uphill) junction but a few chaps were kind enough to give me a push to get it off the road. I was bloody freezing by the time I got home.
  8. Tbh I always assumed I’d end up back in a Mini and thought I’d probably be ticking another car off my mental list but it seems to have got a hold on me. I certainly hope you enjoy it while you have it. 😊
  9. I love Minis, I’ve had a few over the years. My first two cars were 850s and over the next few years I had an 80s City with an MG Metro engine, a 70s 1100 Clubman and a very late 2000 registered Cooper. The Mini is a better drivers car, in standard form at least but I have to say that for some reason I love my current Beetle in a way that I didn’t with any of my Minis. Perhaps it was just the right car at a time when I was ready to properly enjoy it?
  10. I ran across a lovely Mexi a couple of weeks ago, year 2000 model and the tidiest I’ve seen in the metal. My own rather less glamorous motor behind it when I parked for a nosey.
  11. Looks sweet. I’d add a little rake myself but other than that, nice. 😄😎
  12. Does the Mexi get the same hot start issue as the others? If so I think there’s a very cheap hard start relay kit that helps.
