First thing I do when I visit the UK is to fill the tank with V-Power

Re: Minis
Sorry to hear. My alternative would be Tesco Momentum (99 Octane); if you have it?MiniMpi wrote:I'd love to use V-Power but sadly Shell are not in Southern Ireland anymoreBahnstormer_vRS wrote:Shell V-Power Nitro+

Re: Minis
MINI broke down on the MINI run today......limped home.
Went down to running on two to three cylinders and EML light on solid.
Possibility the cat is knackered...could be blocked up with oil from when the turbo was failing recently.
Getting it taken off and sent away to get ultrasonically cleaned this week hopefully.
The only highlight was getting to drive a MINI GP for a few minutes today
Happy Ferg
They are a limited edition of 2000 that were built in 2006, all in Thunder Blue, no back seats, 218bhp supercharged 1.6
A gorgeous car that I would have happily swapped 'pink slips' for today.

Once repaired, all will be forgotten.
As for the GP - you would never get Mini in it!
You could be right regarding it being nearly a new new at the end of it lol
Mini my Lab would fit in the huge boot/rear interior of the GP as there are no back seats
