Yesterday was quite the day of excitement, No I didnt get a new mini... but I did get a new truck!
Well when I say new... ok shes got 250 000kms on the clock and a big crack in the windsheild but for the price I paid? What a bargain. And shes just had a brand new head put on along with a gearbox rebuild so we're good for another 200 000 or so kms.
So lets get down to it, why have a 2.8lt turbo diesel beast of a van? yes minis are my first love, and dont get me wrong nothing will ever beat them in my eyes (with those rose tinted glasses firmly secured) but what happens when the love of my life throws a cog, or hevan forbid a con-rod? Well in comes the 2.8 to save the day and carry her home. And lets face it sometimes its nice to see above the traffic for a change too. (but dont tell anyone I said that!)
So how about an update on little ol' Rusty? You and me both. He's still stuck at the media blasters waiting his turn, I'm assured he will be done by the end of next week (19 Feb) but you never know whats in the pipeline till you see it!
Oh well guess I'm going to have to content myself with finding a tradein for that 998 or whatever it happens to be sitting in my garage, I may even use the truck to move it!
Wish me luck!!
