I have fitted the SSL front and back. As the car was being rebuilt and i'm not getting younger and I had noticed the ride getting very bad ( big pot holes? ) I figured I would go the full hog. When i see reports online it gives favourable reviews, but hopefully in the next 6 weeks or so the MOG will be back on the road and i will be able to give you a better reply soon.
On a scary note i will always remember a MOG being returned to Berrybrook in sunny Devon. I asked what the story was and apparently the wife could not get on with the MOG and the dog could'nt get on being on the parcel shelf. So it was decided to return it. Crazy i know. Surely it would of been better to leave the wife and mutt at home!
A couple of years ago I was selling my Classic Mini Cooper. I had rebuilt it to show standard and incorporated many upgrades to the suspension. It was terrific on smooth roads but sporty on normal U.K. backroads, but I loved it. A chap called me from the South Coast adamant he wanted to buy it. I went to great lengths over the ‘phone to explain its ride quality but he insisted it was for him and he had to have it. He spent nearly all day travelling up by train. I picked him up at the station in the Mini. After half a mile he said “sorry, but it is too sporty a ride for me, and my wife would not like it”. I dropped him back at the station. On questioning him it turned out he had not been in a Mini on the road before but his neighbour had had one and he liked the look of it. I asked if I had not been clear about it beforehand but he said I had. Afterwards I took my wife out on the same route to see what she thought. She likes her comforts but could not see what his problem was. A few weeks later I repeated the process, same roads, with another chap who I thought an unlikely buyer. He loved it, bought it on the spot without haggling and drove it several hundred miles back to Hereford texting me later to say how fantastic it was!
