If you lower it and put minlites on it, me and sidney61 will come around and have words

Is this going to be HWMBO's run about, or for you while your traveller has some work done?

[ASL642]

No HWMBO has his own 2dr! She's going to be my daily runabout. Vikki will be back in service soon.

[chrisryder]

is Miss Daisy staying as she is then, no work or tweaks to do before she gets used?

[ASL642]

Just changed the steering as it was split, and will replace some of the interior with a complete matching set I already have as it was part duotone and part Ser III and the driver's seat was the usual "bucket" shape Otherwise she's staying standard.

[chrisryder]

fair enough, i look forward to meeting her!

have the brakes been updated to 8 inch?

[ASL642]

Think they're 7" but maybe 8" not taken the wheels off yet! The brakes are really good, but if they're not 8" they will be upgraded soon. Hoping to bring her on Monday

[LouiseM]

Like the sun visor but I hope you are going to get rid of those 'dangerous' headlamp peaks

[MColes]

Very Nice!

What is wrong with Vikki?

[ASL642]

We're replacing the rain channels above both windows - all interior out and headlining removed. Someone in the past had had a roof rack on and it's damaged the channels which are beginning to rust so we've bitten the bullet and are going to replace the whole lot. So she will be out of action for a couple of months so Daisy to the rescue! Hopefully I may be able to bring her to the National as well as Bella.

Looks a nice clean & tidy young lady Lou

[ASL642]

Well she goes like a rocket, and is structurally sound - but she's not clean . I've just spent the last hour cleaning the headlining - not cigarette smoke - just grime - used nearly a bottle of Mr Muscle - but we're getting there

[DaisyMayFozz]

Whoo! 61 2drs rule!
Mines got the 1098 too!
she looks nice!

is there a link in 61s called daisy? I now know of at least four called daisy not including mine ( who is daisy-may to be different)

[ASL642]

Well she was called Daisy by the previous owner because he said his friend had said it was like "Driving Miss Daisy" = slow
She's not slow in fact v. nippy! Flowery names seem to suit Minors
