That section was only invented to discuss your PURPLE front door Shim.:whistle::hahaha:

Shim, you can't fully value this life until you've lived it on the edge driving an overpowered fwd tin box.:119: And your old Chamade doesn't count.

So my N reg Mini Clubman 1275GT with r/cams, twin 1.5 inch Webers, BB intake and outlet manifolds, RC40 exhaust and full fibreglass deathtrap front end don't count then?

Got it finished one summer after a winter of nights working in the garage, didn't have the patience to fit the seat so sat on my work stool and as I put my foot down at a nearby level crossing I fell back on the stool at about 30mph and couldn't reach the brake.

Don't give mr the Johnnny Dangerous speech

Yeah, I forgot you told me about that car before. Fair enough Shim. I hate to think of the antics I got up to driving the 5 back in the day! Never once crashed it but boy it was close on several occasions. I never really appreciated the danger back then.:bigcry: I did 160,000 miles + in my white 5 that I had almost new in 1992. Most of those miles it was tuned to anywhere from 170-220 bhp.:hahaha:
