Congrats! That looks like a nice little Mini! Are you around Norfolk then? Looks a little bit like around Little Melton but I could be mistaken, after all it is just trees and fields!

Welcome. Car looks nice Excellent present too - must have got you significant brownie points lol

What is your car ? With a little bit of money the mini could be made significantly quicker... but Im not sure we should tell you about that as it tends to be the start of a long list of mods being done as the modding bug takes hold ...

oh well sorry to hear that then, what was your last car? had fun doing a vectra gsi the other day and that is like a naturally aspirated 2.5? against other 2l turbo hatchbacks it doesnt fair to well though i have to say (mates leon/astra gsi mark 5/mark 4 golf gti etc)

they are fun to mod, i am about to start the engine project on mine one as i want to make it faster now after a year and a half and listeing to videos on youtube of the supercharger sound of tuned versions is very addictive

if your wife drives it though maybe tuning would not be a good idea for you lol
