I like all kinds of crap cars hence the mini and have turned into a bit of a spotter trying to find stuff John has'nt and its not easy as he's got almost everything thats rusting away and still alive

[FredTransit]

i want your P-Slots would look nice on my Mk2 Polo...ohh and welcome

[Billy]

 

Lol my misses wont part with them since she is refered to as P by people that cant say her name properly

we also have this to replace the golf as her daily hack

 

I think the Ps will look a little wrong on there tho

Morning Billy-keep spotting fella you found some good one's I missed Welcome to Autoshite.

[Billy]

I have been driveway hunting for minis and pretty much anything of interest causes a stop and reverse for pics I know where there are a few minis for me to check out from my misses spotting them since she works for the council she gets around the city more than me and I suspect the same areas will throw up a few interesting spots :)how long ago did you get the pics of the reliant outside SMS ?as I was their slave in the garage for a year

[retrogeezer]

Welcome, and please don't leave your cars parked on grass for too long - the damp will rot the floor in no time.

In the style of Roger Mellie: Hello, good evening and bollox! Welcome.I love the wheels on your mini-what are they? I have some 6x10" BWA wheels to go onto mine once I've fitted the damned tastey KAD billet four pot calipers and all the other associated gubbins to let me fit smaller wheelage.Corrado-nice but not mad on the wheelage, on my 'Ones to own' list- already ticked a mk2 Golf off though.

how long ago did you get the pics of the reliant outside SMS ?

as I was their slave in the garage for a year

August 2008-there was a horrible primera outside too.

 

Maybe a workmate or part exchange?

[Billy]

that was at a temp house while we had subsidance sorted its on slabs now

 

the mini rims are jpc jupiters if I remember right

I like my rims too maybe a little too much

the corrado is on venoms now as we only had 3 of them rims in the pic when we brought it

 

Woo I had quit and left a passat tdi gearbox on the garage floor by then

the primera belonged to one of the car wash dudes out the front it was good for a chuckle

have you spotted the brown mk2 cav convertable thats local John ?

[Guest]

have you spotted the brown mk2 cav convertable thats local John ?

Only this white one-was told elsewhere the mk1 Escorts for sale too.

[Billy]

Haha I have found a horrid bronze/brown one too not 10 minutes walk from my house I will grab a pic in the next day or 2 I was in a rush this morning when I spotted it if the mk1 had 2 less doors I would of been banging on their door every month plus I would have to pay road tax :shock:I am going out hunting later as I have been told of too many minis in one area and I know there are a few more bits not too far away from there

[VWPowered]

there is a saab yellow cavalier converatble near me on a D plate :Dthose alloy wheels suited the raddo too shame that..re wheels in sink, i may be generous and install a bath in our house as i have no-where else big enough to tint my windows myself

[Billy]

dont mention window tint

why do you need a bath to tint a spray bottle with fairy and warm water works fine

and the best squegee thing I fuond was a plasplugs tile grout thing I can dig it out and do you a pic if you want

I did mine on the dining table

its not perfect but neither is the screen I choose to do

I blame them funny smelling herbal ciggies

[FredTransit]

The pound shops sell good silicone blades, great for window tint and vinyl signage.

[Billy]

yup theres loads of different styles etc just make sure there is no metal on it anywhere near the blade as I did a super job on my old polo rear screen only to rip it in the corner with the stupid squegey thing and if you are gonna buy tint ebay is the cheapest it is generaly thin but you get soo much you can start again with no issues unlike the ones from most motor factors and halfords just enough for 2 side windows or the rear screen and one side window

i did my scirocco one's with a washing up bottle of soapy water and a wiper squeegee thing, caame out ok just the edges i didnt like and although others didnt notice i always did

Hello and welcome to Autoshite

[j-j]

Yoss! welcome - like the Golf - nicely lowered too. Nice Mini too - for a minute I thought it was the one from my recent spotting update but then I used my eyes and realised it was not.

[Billy]

the mini has had £14 threw at it
