Today my friend Colin came round and changed the front subframe mounts on my Mini Mayfair. One had sheared the rubber off the metal and the other was part way to separating. 

Just to make the day more interesting Colin arrived in his Mini van.

That's not a 5 minute job! Did it all go smoothly?

Colin has a lot of experience with Mini's and owns 5, this was his punishment for guiding me into buying this Mini Mayfair!😁

The worst part was it had been fitted with a bent aftermarket tow eye that had damaged threads.

Mini. Tow eye? Huh? Chain, sling or rope BITD, around anything solid - vanishing areas, tbh

I might not be able to open the field of Dreams to Autoshiters at the moment, but we have some other guests!
