not wasting a lot of time here. This place has been and I suspect will continue to be a resource for many. I'm
pleased and surprised at the respect this thread has received from the general visitors. Thank everyone who has
visited and read, and or left a reply. Steve (CTR)

I haven't 'lurked' or participated on any forum for a very long time; I only dropped by to check a few part numbers before I get the mini ready for the cold weather. Figured I'd service the front brakes, grease the suspension, install the rear winter brakes, a thermostat swap and exchange the summer wheels/tires for the winter steels/snow-ice tires. I wanted to change the oil too, but that'll have to wait for a day when I take it out of the garage for more than simply reversing it back into the garage.
The only thing I got done on the mini this past year was install the road-legal FIA harnesses (Schroth Profi II-FE asm) in tandem with the standard 3-point seatbelts which have been sitting in their boxes since 2017 - just in case I happen upon a hill climb or feel like a track day ... As typical, t'was a pain in the arse, but they're in now and both options are available. Suspenders and a belt, literally...
In anticipation that I possibly won't be around for the holidays, hope you (and the other forum members) have a pleasant holiday season -
Cheers -

Been posting here for just over 22 years !!
Good God that sounds terrible...
Met up with and shared stories, beers, and laughter with so many of you over those years, despite being the other side of the pond. Often all three at the same time while wielding a spanner.
Many lifelong friends made though this place.
