Look at the top pic, look down and to the right of what you think is the fuel filler, just under the black stripe, notice the actual fuel filler

No idea what the round things are though, anyone fancy clarifying?

hmmmmmmmm............... intriguing.

stabilisers that pop out to stop it lifting off and shimmying above 50mph?

these round things are just air vents

nope, im afraid not, this maybe a hard one to find

whats wrong with the ones youve got ? theyre fairly easy to repair if the mechanism is shafted, or is it cosmetic ?

I loved this car pre-mini lites but now it just looks the titties! Everytime I see it I want to sell the mkIII and buy a mkI as a runabout instead

Whats with the random hose coming out of your boot in this pic?

SteB · Post by **SteB** » Thu Jun 30, 2005 11:28 pm

hehe, i believe the hose was the one used to fill the bed of the caddy in the left of the pic full of water - caddy watersport !! - dodgy perspective i guess

i still like the pre-minilites look too, but they put a smile on my face every time i look at it, which is nice! Keep the mk3 rubabout, its so ratty and so unbelievably cool !! besides, you got the derby still havent you... ?

Ste, What size is the width of those wheels and what offsets are they? I assume that they are 13 x 8 but with minilites I thought that you could only get ET0?

Wouldn't mind a set if I decide against the ATS Classics.

Yeah mate I've still got the Derby. It just awaiting some loving. The mk3 is ok like, but it doesn't carry of rat look like a nice mk1 would. Although it does still get some funny looks
