You may of noticed Me n Sam haven't been around since last Thursday
Well we really needed a break so when friends in Cornwall invited us over for a long weekend we decided it would be rude to say no
Our Friend Steph who is now registered on here as minimouse also shares my love of cars and tinkering
Shes just bought an A registered Mini Metro to experiment on
Steph is very clever and is developing an alternative fuel system and wanted a cheap,small car as the guinea pig so the metro is it
If you hadn't gathered already her Metro has been nicknamed minimouse hence the username and i think Boris is rarther sweet on her as can be seen in the photos
Boris was showing off all weekend with his loud exhaust
We ran minimouse alongside Boris and were amazed how much louder Boris was than the standard A series factory spec exhaust
Were were staying near the most southerly point on england near lizard point boy its windy around there and the lanes are very twisty and narrow
We let Steph drive Boris for most of Saturday and she hadn't driven a Mini Automatic Before
By the end of the day we had the wrench the keys from her grasp as shy didn't want to give them back ;D
Boris Behaved impeccably the whole weekend and we covered 600 miles in just a few days
With all the hilly roads we had drive along i wouldn't of blamed Boris if he had burned a little Oil as he worked hard getting us there and back
But this morning when i checked his oil he hadn't lost one bit
I Guess the Oil which was changed about 80 miles before the journey is run in now
Only another 800 miles or so and we can drop the Oil again ;D
All in all we had a Fabb time away and Boris never missed a beat
Well Done Boris
