Yeh just checked there too  Though i wonder if the article is actually in this next months paper copy of MiniWorld or just on their site? i think Miniworld Subscribers get the Magazine about now Us lesser mortals who go to the newsagents for it have to wait an extra week  |

If you look on P88 of this months (arrived yesterday) on Tim Mundys page the site is mentioned in the pic of the gear selector. Although he does say he is probably going to swap the auto for a manual at some point.

Though he could allways get an Automatic Gearbox expert to do a series of articles using his Auto as the Project Car |

Ok E-mail sent; "Dear MiniWorld, I would like to set a challenge for Tim Mundy. RE: pg 88 January 2010 BLB 186Y Show your readers how good a technical expert you are and restore the Auto to its former glory. Strip the auto engine and box down showing us step by step and month by month how you get on and how you overcome the problems you encounter. To make it more interesting set yourself a deadline to have it fully restored for the National Mini Show in September 2010. With the decline in automatics you will saving a piece of history." ;D |

Ive been in correspondance with Monty Watkins for the last few months and he told me 3 months ago Tim was getting an Auto,for two months i read Tims articles on that car first when he did the repairing a paint scuff,then the month after degreasing the engine and never twigged on that was the Auto ;D then last month when he did the painting the engine article i noticed the "Auto" tell tale signs,location of dipstick,oil filter etc gawd im slow on the uptake sometimes ;D I never realised he was planning on converting it to manual though  At the end of the day its his car but i sincerly hope he doesnt convert it Its about time a mini mag does a proper rebuild on an Auto though Mini Magazine did a great one a couple of months ago i feel i full series is apropriate as us Auto Owner/Drivers get a raw deal really Huggz Jodie  |

Ok got a reply from Mini World; "Hi, Well...I’ve forwarded your email over to Tim, so let’s see how he gets on! National Mini Show is ages away, I think L2B will be more of a challenge for him... All the best, Stephen Colbran, Features and online editor, MiniWorld magazine" Lets hope he takes up the challenge!
