I have a large collection of miniworld magazines dating back to Issue number
2. Some are complete years and include the original cover giveaways,
stickers, tuning equipment catalogues that were sometimes included. Being
mini's the general engineering advice doesn't change so ...

I just got my sisters car back from the garage, where it was getting various
bits done to it; I asked them to bleed up the brakes when they fitted the
new discs to it. Guess what they did not do they bleed the brakes. This is
not the first time that I have asked a garage to bleed up ...
