It does look really good but surely it needs to be sold where air conditioning is less than essential

Save munny on air fares, next time get LL to drive it to the UK
Well, whatever, nevermind

I had a call from the buyer last night...

Mini Man: I took the Mini on a rally over the weekend and it broke down!
BM: You drove it???  eeek:
Mini Man: Yes, the distributor packed up...  cry:
Mini Man: I see you fitted a new, electronic distributor, have you got the original?
BM: No *dial tone*

 lol:

Me too - the old distributor was shagged out so I bought a new electronic one instead of a new mechanical one (I hate setting points)...
