Re: Monkey see, Monkey go - To Transylvania

I get it but I did all that when 14 was left over there years ago. That worked so I expect this too. Did they ever ask for their money back for the 1400? Nope, that's still sat in a high interest (as high as I could get at the time anyway) account in case they do. If it gets to feb & been a yea...

"Minilite wheels are 8-spoke design wheels, developed in 1962 for BMC Mini. Magnesium alloy was chosen for weight savings, and Minilite wheels quickly became a popular choice for racing and road"
