This morning I spent 2.5 hours organizing some of my huge pile of Mini parts.

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

I took BALLISTIC for a quick blast up the shops and broke the silence of the modern cars and drowned out the group of elderly Italian blokes that hang around the front of the bakery and talk (yell):!:

Hey Ballistic did the same only the blokes weren't Italian, just the usuals at the coffee shop. Just love the sound of an RC40 echoing through the villiage. Who needs a radio.

Hay, it's not about the car, it's not about the venue, it's about the people that come here. Peter Dwyer, Mayor of Hay NSW.

Replaced the indicator arm on the Clubby van after #3 son (nearly 2 y.o.) played a little too hard at driving in the garage

Also made up a shim using 4mm aluminium bar to space the steering column lowering bracket properly. Seems they don't fit clubbies very well without bending the upper bracket...

Oh, and fixed the sticky choke.. now idles like a champ. Also fitted a clutch return spring after much cursing and swearing.. a sod of a job in a confined space, that one.
