I have been spending way, way too much time on DV

Thought I would share this, as it is close.

Thanks for this.

I didn't realise David was still going. He must be well into his 80s.

I still have my 'How to Modify your Mini' book from the 70s. Well worn, well thumbed and very grubby.

Fairly confident, these DV vids are more information than anyone could require.
Fascinating stuff, best for me is, he is easy to listen to, and a great speaker.

Snap: 'How to Modify your Mini' book! I met his daughter in Bishop's Cleeve back in the '90's, I was buying something off her and needed a receipt. IIRC her name was Sam Visard. and as soon as she said her surname all the joys of mini ownership came flooding back. Of course I really wanted and Elan but had to wait until 2008 until that became a reality.
