Bello, don't despair you are not alone...i for one was once young and stupid...and im sure there are many others out there.
i went as far as bending the Carb needle on my mini caused by clutch juddering, well at least someone said so, that was his assumption., but i don't care he's in denmark now,enjoying his black mini..... aaaanyway!... But iam not as dummy as somebody i know who power washed his Union Jack mini aiming at the front grill, then the next day he switch on his mini and his 123 distributor got fried...i was like OMG!,
but i'm still happy knowing that there are a lot of them dumby-er than me...aaanyway!
and if you encounter a guy who comes up during the Whee hours of the night,,,just ignore him...he's my no.1 detractor, and gets so intimidated by my presence.

We know why you posted this thing here, you don't want to be judged because we know nothing about the new Binis huh? if you post this this at Northamericanmini.com, be ready to get ridiculed, but i dunno i haven't been to that site.
