already introduced myself in another thread but i thought it was about time I introduced my car.

bought him eight months ago, at the same time i started my driving lessons just after i left college. the following four months was body work body work body work.
after four months i got my license first time (p**sing everyone off) had him driving for two weeks and had to take it off the road for another few months to stop the oil burning problem it had. now he's back on the road, brand new mot and a very happy owner.

he got the name from i song i first heard at about the same time i bought the car. we always joked that my mate had bought a rover and say that meant it wasn't a real mini and spencer seamed right for the car. my mate has since crashed his beautiful red 2000 mpi but can't wait to get another one and hopefully not total this one into a postal van

Always nice to read about another car, and that it's not just me who has to take the bladdy thing off the road and get annoying stuff done before you can actually get out there and enjoy the car...

just had a really cool drive home up the mountain, empty road, spots on full, trees whipping past at 40 up hill.

felt like a night time rally stage
