Contrary to the above posts, I won't actually be driving round (unfortunately) :wink: I'll have signs on my shoulders saying something like 'Rhino Tobias', for anyone who may be watching in April. You were right about one thing though; I will be the one at the back... :roll: Pic of the suit below. P...

Hi Everyone. Not exactly Minor related I'm afraid (except that I drive a Minor). :oops: I'm taking part in the London Marathon in April to raise money for Save the Rhino International. I'll be running in one of the famous Rhino suits, as if the 26.2 miles wasnt challenging enough :roll: There's lots...

Lol, great blog; just read it through from the start. Inspiring. Keep going...

Hi all, I know this is sort of tech/mech, but quite a general question really. To get straight to the point, my van needs a new engine. Since I won't be doing it myself, the question is; is it really backwards to get a new engine put in without doing any bodywork (grille etc needs repairing, plus wh...

Thanks all. I do indeed have a van. I am getting the axle/chassis checked tomorrow; hope it's not too serious. TH

Am i right in thinking that 155 wheels are harder to come by than the 145's?

I'll need to aquire one in the not too distant future, since my spare will be used to replace the bent wheel at the back where someone has driven me into the pavement whilst I was parked.

Thanks for help, Tobias

Any experience/info on the following places please...

Blimey, not one of them?

Andrew, fancy giving me a lift? TH

My letter/cheque etc. was returned (very quickly though I might add) because apparently one now has to fill in the official form (V888); a letter DOES NOT do the trick...

This I am now doing so I hope it works. TH

I was more concerned about getting run over... TH

Nice van... and garage/workshop!

Inspirational stuff. TH

So does this mean they're fairly expensive due to their rarity? What price range would you be looking at for a basket case splitty? TH

Lost me already...

I'd love to start pottering a bit more. First things first though, a garage. TH

how about a splitty van to compliment your 1000 one? :lol: I didn't want to let it out in the rain - that was a pain as it meant my garage was out of action for car repairs when it was raining Which seems to be most of the time these days... :-? There is hope then; buy basket case - restore :D TH

How common or rare would you say SII Travs are on the roads these days?

Only the more I think about it the more I fancy one... TH

I ran out the other day on a dual carriageway when I would say the guage was on 'almost empty'. Won't be trying it again anytime soon, although I now keep a little extra in the back just in case. TH

Just wondering how easy it is to fit stone guards to the headlights? I'm guessing not too much trouble, or are they a bit fiddly like the peaks?

Also I assume any 7" ones will fit, ie Mini ones...?

Thanks, TH

Favour returned... TH
