....that I am feeling really sad. 😿 We went to clip the cats rear claws because she is ripping herself to bits. At a crucial moment she kicked out while struggling to escape from our evil clutches and too much was taken off one of her claws. She's bleeding quite a bit and I feel a real a-hole...

... bad news for me. The local council in its infinite wisdom has approved the conversion of what was a Grade listed edwardian property just up the street into what I can only describe as a halfway house for ne-er-do-wells, druggies and probably asylum-seekers. So what was a family home is...

Morning All. :D Cool & damp here, but not currently raining. :) No specific plans for today, might play with the mini though. ;) Have a great day! :D

Hi Phil, ATM it is the SU official dashpot oil 20W, people do use ATF and even 3in1 Oil. Whatever works. :)

Having taken the boy out for a ride today and having it go pretty well with only one detonation in the intake I came home and gave the mixture screw a "tweak" towards the dark richer side. I will take the car out again and see if this has improved things. Too weak a mixture could be the...

....that throwing caution to the wind's I just took my son home in "Gwen" the Mini. Shiny-shovel poop-shifter was my base impression, and we were both grinning like loons. :D :D 50 in a 30 limit was a bit too much and my only defence is that the 3-spoke wheel totally obscures the speedo when...

Morning All. :D A damp start to today, rain in evidence, was supposed to be dry and bright? :( Have a great Friday, the weekend beckons. :D

Morning All, Happy Birthday @Stanleysteamer :D Cool and damp here, but not a bad day. :) Have a great day. :D

Howdy WL, are you well? :)

Morning All. :D Still here, still smiling (sort of). It's probably my imagination but now that I am 70 I seem to hurt more in more places. :( Have a great day. :D

Night All.

Glad to hear that you are reunited. I am sure she will fare far better at home than in hospital. :) Do wish her well from me, and do take care of yourself too matey, she is depending on you! :)

Morning All. :D My appearance at the psychic event is cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. ;) A shopping day. :( Have a good day all. :D

What! No, wait. ;)

Don't know but usually they are production info so they can trace and recall a run of parts if something goes wrong. Could be model year and month of production, or machine/assembly-line and month. Dunno.

Morning All. :D That's it, I am officially off my trolley. I got up this morning and struggled with one of life's imponderable questions. i.e. What day is it today? :) How on earth did that happen? I am aghast. Bright (if cold) day here. :) Have a great MONDAY. :D

Yes, I think it is still a tad advanced. I went out again on normal flattish roads and it kind of "bogged down" a bit and did the crack-back thru the intake. I turned it round and went home and pulled the plugs. 123 were rather "sooty" but 4 was much cleaner. I am going to retard the timing...

Have you cracked it now? Is it all working OK?

I think these Spanish ABS Senors don't know where they are on the car at all. ;)

And now from our roving reporter in Benfleet......... A long-haired, wild-eyed man was seen screaming through the streets of Benfleet today in a Grey Mini classic while proclaiming "She Lives, professor, She Lives". :D At long last I seem to have got it more or less right. It is responsive...
