I'd like a Red Hot! If only for the fact that my daughter has a very tasty Jet Black, and they would make a good pair!



(that's my Merc-grilled '78 next to it!)

Ha - just noticed something very coincidental about those reg numbers!

how close are the reg numbers???
i saw that jet black on e-bay a while back, i would like a matching pair aswell mate!!! lol,,, and cool graphics, where from please???

E480 and E840?

The car came up at just the right time for us; daughter Holly had just killed the engine in the other car (which was hers at the time) - she now knows where to put the oil! It was the right price and less than ten miles from home. We collected it within hours of the end of the auction!
The graphics came with the car, but Google is your friend: Stickercentral had them at Stanford Hall, and I've seen some on Ebay too. They look especially cool with the mirrored rear windows, but with that and the wide arches it does tend to attract the "wrong" kind of attention from boy racers! It's only a vanilla 998 after all! No, it's not having a bigger one, my teenage daughter is a sufficiently aggressive driver as it is... she tried to race me on a roundabout once. Well her car may have better handling than mine, but mine is the 30 years experience!

I also replicated the graphics in a custom clock for her custom dash:

Well I didn't find a Red Hot at a sensible price, but I did pick up a Sky!



However unfortunately, a week later, my daughter wrote off Harriet (repairable but not quickly)



and as the MOT then ran out on the Jet Black I had to get a daily driver in a hurry, so meet Eddie!



Though the logbook says "City E", Eddie has a 1275 with HIF44, LCB and 2" Sportex exhaust, hi-los, Monroes, 7x13 Superlites with Yokos, walnut dash & door cappings, '93 Cooper seats and 12" Mountney steering wheel. Quite nice!

welcome eddie, but....oh dear, poor harriet! hope you can get her fixed up ok

that old tinas cool..... i like 70s fords as well

HEY "princess" is an auto!

autos are not girly cars!

Agreed, autos (in general) are certainly not girly - I can take on anything in a good auto. Though the 'box fitted to the Mini is a bit fragile. Which is why I have plans to fit a K-series auto in my estate (on maybe even a vtec auto if I can work out how!)

oh and the newest member of the famliy
