if i hit the rong sort of man hole cover the car jumps across the road
That's part of the 'character'

It's much worse on bends, but you get used to it (or drive very slowly).
Uprated dampers can help, but if you're going to jack the back up, don't expect the handling to improve... ;-)

How did you bottom out the front end? I stupidly went down a 60mph road in my town at a nice standard 30mph; but the road has more undulations than Scotland. It's like going over three consecutive short humpback bridges as you aproach the bottom of the hill. My 2-door doesn't yet have and front bump stops, and myself and my cousin were in the front (quite tall lads, us both) and the upper front arms rose up onto the inner arch and helped to make the clearence holes on either side a little bit clearer, shall we say! But the engine didn't touch the ground.
What the hell were you doing with your Mog, mister? hehe! How are your inner arches looking?

bucket seats in the minor (might make it feel faster )
Just grease the seat runners and find a hill

A lot of Mini specialists are agents for Kent cams.
I got mine from MED Racing engines in Leicester.
