So as some of you know we own a classic mini. That to be honest I havnt even seen this year. I need some motivation to get the f*ck on with it. Anybody on here have any long term projects that have been bugging them!

Money can't buy motivation unfortunately, it's something I must admit I struggle to find! But its the reason I only ever do short term projects lol.

I was super motivated when I got my speedboat as a project because I knew how much fun it would be at the end and it was something I didnt previously have!

Well toesland that would motivate me but you don't know where I live. Ive already had a race spec mini before Sam so I know how much fun they are. Ive made the decision to bring it out of hibernation onto my driveway so I can potter about in evening with it. I will get pictures as soon as its moved if people really are interested in an old mini.

You own a 306. [ASTONISHED FACE] genuinely did not know that. I thought you used to have one and then bought a rover.

The 306 is getting neglected atm, got all the bits i need just need to get on with it. Keep spending time on the truck instead, but as its a new project im still doing all the quick easy jobs that give instant gratification.
