Cool. Reminds me of my '74 Mini that was subsequently ruined by my brother's mate that bought it.

[ChrisO]

Cheers - the tints were actually put in by my brother (when I let him have it for a few months), although my dad had an Island Blue one in the 70's with the same tints. Does that make them retro-cool?

Wow, it's clean

Thought you might have put the chrome strip on by now though, or did you decide to cop out on that one.

Is the blob next to it Daves then?

[ChrisO]

Unfortunately so - I think it was in a moment of jelly-mould, 'normal' car madness. He wants to buy the mini off me though - he's trying to raise the funds. I couldn't really let it go somewhere other than family or someone who I know is going to look after it.

And not crash it into another ditch...

Torn between selling it (to a family member as I can't let it go anywhere else) or spending more of the bank's money re-shelling it. Why do minis do that to you?

spend the money spend the money spend the money spend the money! you know you want to!

Chris,

Why don't you give it free to a good home (mine of course). Look what Dave did to it last time he had it, he'll put neon washer jets on it next

Anyway, didn't you once own a Ford Kak? Or was that just a rumour?

The rumours are indeed true - although I only bought it so I could write it off (another adventure down a ditch). Still, I've not got a M*tro in my motoring past...

[beastieboy]

think i know who you are. does your boss also have a audi s3 ?
ricky

[chriso]

Yeah - a dark blue one. Do you work in the workshop?
On another note, are you all going to be wearing cossack hats at drinking vodka now the Russians own you?

[beastieboy]

i'm the short lad in sales, talked to mark a couple of times when you've both been in.
don't know what the uniform will be !

I prefer to think of them as a Mini donor vehicle, besides it was cheap, and at least it was built in the right factory

A valid point, but in roadgoing form they're still
