Mini in Shock Facelift Revelation
Mini has finally had gone to the beautician garage to have her
eyebrows window trim plucked fixed.
Some time ago while driving to work round the M25, Mini the car
began to make the most terrible noise which in some pathetic girly
completely reasonable way I erroneously attributed to the wheel arches.
Once at my destination I found the trim had come loose on the windscreen
and was slapping cheerfully against the roof.
I was forced to make some temporary repairs involving masking tape. Gaffer
tape was suggested by both George and Robert and my colleague
Tony (what is it with men and gaffer tape?) but I felt that masking tape
would be easier to remove when the time came. As it turns out, the masking
tape peeled off all by itself while driving along, and began slapping
cheerfully on the car roof (a slightly higher tone that previously) ...
but only in some places. In other places it hung on like grim death and
left a sticky mess all over the place.
I am not popular in the mechanics fraternity.
