I need to sort a towing eye out for it still!! iirc we always tied a rope around the the area where the tie bar connects to the subframe. or around the front area of the frame behind the front panel. |

i'd struggle to do anything like that as ive got a front splitter/spoiler fitted. I'm thinking of drilling a hole in it and fitting a permanent towing eye.

Bogg brothers, supposed to be ok with mini's? Motorscope in northallerton might be worth a look aswell.

I can thoroughly reccomend Bogg Bros. (It's near Molton so not too far from Selby)
The guy really knows his stuff.
Its also a great day out as you can have a look round all the cars in his barn that he is storing or working on for people.

Current vehicle collection:
2006 Saab 9-3 Aero convertible - in mid-life crisis yellow
No new retro as yet ... all attempts to sneak one onto the drive have failed.

I've used Dave Bogg for years, he's worked his magic all my Avenger's and Sunbeam's, I can't praise him enough. He's at East Lutton 01944 738234. I can't wait to get my Avenger Tiger race car on his rollers ;D |

Took mine there on a Rolling Road shootout. I don't think they're interested in anything that's not turbo'd. I asked about tuning mine, and they more or less laughed at me and told me to f**k of.. |

guess I'm a bit too far away in essex? I used to race mini's as well and have a lot of experience with them. Can you tell me what your set up is and what the problem is and ill try my best to maybe give you some advice on how to get it running a bit better?
