Then paint the X5 the same colour as the Caterham, and we'll talk.

Pay me up front and I'd be happy to.

Ditto.

I'll take the leftover k series...

No, it's powering my dayglo X5.

It's complicated.

All sorted.

I'll pay you a CASH deposit. Can you issue a receipt?

And register it to someone else?

No, that's not how this works. You must register the wrong vehicle to me.

* facepalm *

My bad.

No I can only take card deposits but can't give receipts. I *can* make a [BLEEP] noise while I hold your card before handing it back though.

Just went for a drive in the Caterham to the brewery to collect beer ready for tonight.

Pretty sure I'm not selling it.

Yet.

I think.

The Mini has been serviced. Oil, filters, pads all round and front disks. They also replaced the seals on the air conditioning which weren't done when the compressor was changed a couple of years ago. It's lovely to have nice cold air in a car for once.

I like the way they've pre-dusted it for you.

Looks good JL and pretty fast turnaround I think, how long ago was the shunt?

I live in the desert - what do you expect? - they'll give it a clean inside and out before I get it today.

Chris - it was some time ago actually, June 7th. Took a little time for the rear lights to arrive and then I was away so couldn't drop it in to them. They could have done it faster but frankly it's only going to sit outside my place right now so told them not to rush.

Had a crack at starting on the suspension on the Compact. Discovered that the rear subframe bushes are totally - like, TOTALLY - shot and none of the others look too good either. And loads of surface rust to tidy up. So it'll be needing full strip down of the rear beam. Seeing as this is just the start of it, I don't think there's much chance of the car being back on the road this year
