Hippo's latest activity

Not quite what you meant when you said you fancied something in a short mini? 🤪

Its got the back bench seat only, it does look like great fun. He did mention 200 sovs so its 100 quid in my book. He wants a metal staircase which we have but wanted to swap.

That's about 3/4 of the full package. I bet it is a lot of fun. What's the price on it?

Made me chuckle, thanks Dips. :D

Got offered this today..... 🤣 🤣

I'm sorry, but go and sit on his head and fart for half an hour see if any sense goes in, if not slap him twice, once for your missus and once from us ... we give permission for the full shoulder push thru slap ...

... and so things go from bad to worse. Wifey does her best to accommodate the visit of a technician to fit her Mum's house up for a full "old folks monitoring package". Bloke arrives and says, ok what's your mum's Amazon account and internet...

And a special bent spanner just for the Mini carb ...

I'd help him fall over a couple of times, just for fun ...

It has only just dawned on me that I was worrying about nothing. I was mixing up "Windows 11" with the new Microsoft office. Twerp that I am!! So it is sitting in the corner "updating" itself. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

4 ceiling spaces, 3 rooms. Does that give a clue. Sorry if I came across as abrupt but they like it here as an easy solution. To me a plasterboard wall in a bathroom is asking to do it again in a few years. Stud wall sound proofing is not good...

Sounds OK to me. Certainly a load more oomph than a standard Mini. In fact I am shocked that mine was therefore one that had been breathed on, never knew that, I was just given it, (Kevved!)🤣🤣 it by a member of my club, who had taken the seats...

Been a miserable day today 65mm of rain and strong winds plus the mountain hares have eaten all my pinks of, my be a long night comming up soon , and a game stew reward 🐇🐰+🌒+🔫=🍜

Well puddin me! I thought it was an open space. :rolleyes:

Don't no if it's the same over there but we get all different size Knuffbord depending on your centres half

I bow to your superior knowledge gents I looked up the Metro engine online and it said: The standard 1275cc MG Metro engine typically delivers around 57-72 bhp (brake horsepower). A 1275cc engine used in the Metro, which was sourced from the Mini...

You need to wash your mouth out. I hate it. and no there are brick walls seprating each space, All the walls have already been rendered ready for plastering, After I run lectrics in them :oops:. Sorry hangon I did do about 5m of stud work...

Right, on closer inspection it looks as if the MS thingy W bought me bypasses accounts and stuff, so hopefully one less thing to worry about. Good on yer! so you'll be putting up studs etc and dry lining etc once t'ceilings up, I suppose. And...

Our lounge is 8x5 (i think) the 7x9 is split into 3 spaces (4 ceiling spaces) 1x bathroom (gonna have a bath in this 1:)) 1 bedroom area (half of the total) and another area for just the " Grand enterance" to the east wing:oops:. I sometimes...

Why do you need 11? whats loaded already? Oh..... is it the gearbox issue or Ws impending ops? Does the party have to move a few weeks :vb-party: 🤔. J

As we now have more time before we go I decided to start up my noo Samsung Galaxy Book 4!! It is now charging. I have downloaded and printed off all sorts of helpful stuff off the net as I have never done this before, all ours have been done by...

Agree with that cos that is exactly what mine showed when blokey did it. Which was a amazing considering how old the engine was. Maybe the sports down pipes and exhaust put a little bit back. Mine was on the standard MG Metro diff and box. If i'd...

If the size of the wing is 7 x9 metres that is a huge space. Our living room is 8 x 5 so only 2/3 of yours.WOW! What are you goin to do with it? Billiards room and bowling alley? 🤣 🤣

Not bad :) Standard MG Metro 1275 was 72bhp but that was prob at the flywheel 1098cc motor was about 45bhp Should go well with 62 depending on what diff is in it, :)

Expect a write up in your Mini fred of what he found/did. But great news now for the fun drives :D. J

Got the Mini back. Drives very nicely without any dramas now. :) Not a monster by any means. Dyno said 62BHP and 72.6lb/ft I gave it some beans on the way home on the A130, it felt quite sporty. Costapacket. :(

Afternoon folks :). More wood butchering for the "east wing" ceiling today, should be out getting plasterboard next week as I move to the last section to put wood up. Maybe I should put in a few more hours working and just get it done🤔. How many...

Motybike.

Is this on a motypike? A rotary engine? A distributor? Soz for your pain and all that. :(

Hurt my little finger this morning. Pulling a rotor off a crank shaft and it didn't want to move. When it did it came away suddenly and whacked my finger end against a bolt. Ouch. All hurty now. :(
