  3. Thanks for the complIments, with the mini i'm going to keep it stockish because it is a fairly rare mini.

Leyland ony got around to making 360 before they went ***** up. Having a rare car can be good and bad. The good bits: everyone says ey is that a real sunshine and it is worth more.

If i want more power later on i could put some bigger carbies of a bigger exhaus

  12. Ey guys, in my mums car the interior door handle has stopped working. So i pulled the door card off and has a play around and i think the cable has stretched over the life of the car and now when the handle is pulled it just cant pull it enough to open the door.
