Would the sand/salt water not be bad for the under body of the car??

if you do that 31 day a month for few years - yes. Having some blast on on a beach now and then won't do any har. Though you are in danger of getting a smile on your face.

For all the stick they get, they actually drive fantastic. The supercharged Cooper S are even better too!

Took this on a long spin today. Anyone wish to take a guess where this is ? :pac:

Right now I'm kind of confused. I always wanted to get rid of this car, but after replacing the ECU on it and taking it for a test drive, I don't know what to do. Should I keep it or sell it? The engine runs perfect, plenty of power for a 1.4. Gearbox is perfect too. Brake pads are seriously worn though, I'll get those replaced. Maybe I'll put it through the NCT, but I don't know, wasn't expecting to feel this way about it. :P

Brake pads are a sub €100 fix, less if you do them yourself, I'd be inclined to keep it, it's at a price now where keeping it a year or 2 knowing the basics are good makes perfect sense. Put it through the NCT, you would be surpised what little fixes if any might be required.

Correct, didnt spend long there but managed to stop by Ireland's favorite Parochial House. The route up to it wasn't what I was expecting at all. Just aswell nothing was coming the other way

I can get a set of 4 pads for about €25 and replace them myself. Yeah, I'm starting to think I will put it through the NCT.

You can really stuff them into corners. Great craic.
Buckets of headroom, seats go right to the floor - feet catching on steering column is a pain though.

That's lovely, the colour scheme suits it very well a lot of them I'v seen look like glorified Avensis' but the wheels set yours off perfectly.

Please excuse the filth of the car... Cleaned it yesterday and neighbours cut grass and it blew all over the car and stuck!!

Anyway, new shoes, 17s love them ! Cars going for a full valet inside out tomorrow so will get better pics then.

Looks good on white wheels, rizzee. Would look even better with a little bit of a drop.

Cheers man! Yeah definitely could do with a pinch of a drop, the low profile tyres helped it out a bit though oh I got reg plates today too but not going to stick them on til car is clean tomorrow!

Next step will be drive shaft change in 2-3 weeks and some sort of aftermarket air filter.
