Pretty funny stuff as long as it's not your own car
that's one of the reasons I wont own a mini, 2k plus for a restored example, yeah right, one of the worst cars for make up jobs.
My auntie bought a classic mini a 10 years ago now, she bought the injection model to replace her carbd one. The new one, had a few rust patches, so she got it sorted, by a family friend, He said it was the car was just full of filler, and a bit of a time and a half to sort it out.
