Graham, I know this is not realy to topic and is almost certainly frowned upon but i don't know how else to get hold of you. Could you please email me regarding the pm you sent me last month, apologies and thanks. eimaj_1002@hotmail.com

This happened to mine. A quick trip down the scrappy's and i had a couple of old micra ones. Not a 100% acurate fit but using 2 of them (i seem to remember they are a bit thinner) i managed to get it all fixed. Many, Many door opens later it still feels good. Probably the only bit on the car that actually works. best of luck, J.

yeah, most of the ones these guys organise seem to quite interesting. zairs: A mini was one of the first to cross my mind too because of all the things you mentioned. However it did cross my mind that with such small wheels it may not cope too well on the rought sections of the rally. still worth thinking about tough. many thanks all!

haha, woop woop daewoo matiz! thanks mate! the car only has to be have been manufactured within 10 years if you wish to donate it to charity at the end via the rally organisers and thus it stays in Mongolia. So it can be older but if it is i would have to either donate it privatly, take it home or sell it on the cheap on arrival.

I don't know how many of you have heard of this unique and slightly eccentric rally for charity but from the things i have heard it sounds like it could be quite an experience. More or less the only rule is that the car enguine must be of no more than 1litre. (this can be bent slightly, but is frowned upon, because of new rules for 09 due to mongolian enforced restrictions on age of donated cars.) here is a link to the site for those of you who are interested. http://mongolrally.theadventurists.com/index.php?page=thevehicles The point of this post being that over the next couple of years i plan to enter with 2 of my friends. This is a bit tricky as you have to carry evrything your self and with 3 in a car which will probably be the size of a shoe (because of enguine size) i am a little stumped on car choise. I have looked at a Susiki SJ as a candidate but they are hard to get your hands on, especialy in a condition to do 10,000miles. So any reccomendations would be hugely appreciated!!! many thanks, Jamie.

Sounds nice! (m3) No advice i'm afraid, but you are welcome to the thread. I think i'm all done now, the s2000 sounds nice but will have to wait. Thanks all for your helpful posts! J.

more than welcome

Sorry if this is old news but i thought i'd give all you fans a heads up. Official free download of their new single (radio edit) if you are interested! I have a feeling it will only be up there for a couple more days. http://www.theprodigytickets.com/download enjoy, J.

cheers. tmttpub hehe, you having trouble with your 300 now? :headvswal

Richard.. ouch. not far off a full manual conversion thanks for the info though and sounds like you found a good chap. Berrica. Cheers mate, will give that a pop sometime after christmas. Hope your headache with the paint shop has eased a bit. cheers, Jamie.

HMMMM?! so confused.. i do appreciate the replys though, don't get me wrong! any idea how much it is to recondition a box?

Thanks peeps. With the seemingly worthless hunk of junk i liked to think of as my pride and joy now with a broken autobox i don't think that even if i sell evrything i own ill be able to scrape together enough fo one of these. Thoughts for the future though. Many thanks again. Jamie

dogkrap. yes it has dark grey leather and alcantara. BUT the driver's side bolster is well worn. Slick pete. thanks, a bit somber yes, but hit the nail on the head. ...still a bit puzzled as to what to do. It also seems a crime to scrap the shell of a uk car with so little rust. Looks like ill just have to bite the bullit and take the hit.

nevermind the deer, where the feck did the enguine go?

cheers fella. Good shout. How many miles had you put on it before it went 'pop'?
