Damn wish I had it now, especially after seeing yours.

think of my post in the bigger picture. I meant, we are changing the same things, not that we are putting on the same parts. Jan recommends JCW injectors BTW. I own a Jesus head, GP IC, JCW airbox, 440cc injectors etc

I didn't actually know what he was saying at first. So I said, " excuse me?" and he said it again... Well, the light changed while he was looking at me, so, I put out my hand and moved it to the right as in a "after you"... well the rest... uhhh...I'll just say, that joker was a sad sad panda

it was a good day...

I admire a lot of the muscle cars and rice rockets I see on the road, but the attitude of many people who drive them is a turn-off. I couldn't see myself driving any of those and being lumped in with those "tool boxes" as you so affectionately refer to them.

something with a flathead please, be it a v8 or a 4 banger. I could go for a 49 Cadillac overhead valve tho, but it would have to be in a cut down model A coupe!

Sad to hear about the misfortune. I saw this Black Mini at Danny's shop a couple of times during modification upgrades of my own. It's a good looking R53. You should keep her in the family.
