V8grunt Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 Classic Car Res-spew! A Mini tonight, Just going for the Beers and Popcorn! 1 Quote
s2rrr Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 I was good with minis both cars and skirts (eh-hemm ) so wonder was sh*te is coming tonight. Don't think there are many jobs I didn't do on the old BMC jobbie but I'm sure the two comcs will do it in a tenth of the time and build a 50k Cooper S. Actually watched last weeks the Cadillac one which had some interest but not much. Bob Quote
Norman Verona Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 As a founder member of the University Motors Mini Bay where we taught the factory a few things, do you mind if I give this a miss. Mind you not all the things we taught them were good, at least not for us. We used to get 11.5 hours to replace the large crankshaft oil seal. WE developed tools to do it in-situ and it could be done in just over an hour. A factory rep visited unannounced and saw the tools on the bench. He was bright enough to work out what they were for so end of a large part of our bonuses. When the London wage for a top mechanic was £20 per week I was TAKING home £60 pw at the age of 17. Quote

GuitarmanUK Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 I nearly spat out my drink when the voice over said that adding the Cooper sticker and stripes, even with the original engine, would add value to the car! Quote
