look who it is nh

No tax disc, no front number plate (never think that looks right when removing it leaves a plate-sized gap)
phones dvla

His mate needs to be inside the car, nearside back seat, to get that rear wheel on the ground, so the front spoiler doesn't get scraped.

I expect he's driving that back in to put some usable suspension back on :-)

Lovely colour though.

Nothing says 'still living at home with Mum' like an overpolished nearly-new car decked on coilies and splits.

Meanwhile, back in the land of cars & drivers that actually matter...

Ha, he was having more interior work done. It's a show car.

Condescending and generalising much? He actually doesn't, not that it matters. Same comment could be said to the owners of multiple plastic bikes on this forum.

I think It looks hot.

But it does look like a dog taking a piss tho

Reminds me of Norman.

got any pics?

Got my Revival tickets, just need to work out whether riding my scooter down there is daft or silly, or both

Aw man, love the new Mini in stock condition, don't know how anyone could do all that to it

Much like a BRM/NH/V-L track day.

That was incredible. I'm now going to say that to myself whenever I'm driving.

Going in every day, unless you are camping on site, is easier by scooter.

I'll have to check, to be honest (famous last words) she's running well at the moment, I'm pretty confident it'll manage. Going to camp a couple of miles down the road, I'm only going on the Friday, then riding home on Sat

classic finish line "don't tell me how to drive"

Sorry, not trying to jinx it. I did it a few years ago on my Douglas vespa....did not end well. But that was my fault of paying some one to rebuild the engine and not doing it myself.

I'm the other way around, I do all my own DIY and it's never quite right, I take it to a man who knows them inside out and she's purring, absolutely purring, 70kph almost non-stop down the A1000 from Harpenden to London a couple of weeks ago at night was brilliant

Best car ever made.
