Hi all, been registered a few days and thought it right to introduce myself before I start bombarding the forum with questions

I've been looking for a mini for a few months and finally won one on ebay for the right money last weekend - I go to collect it this Sunday I've had a few mini's in the past but not for a very long time now, I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much as I know that years of driving modern cars is going to cause a bit of a shock when I eventually get to drive the mini, but this project is as much about the fun of doing the mini up and teaching my 15 year old son as much as I can about car maintenance as the eventual driving of it.

A couple of pics of the one I'm collecting on Sunday





And here's a couple of pic's from 1983 of my favourite car out of all of the ones I've ever owned

Good luck with it, hope it brings you much happiness
Like the orange glow of the 2nd picture to match the colour of the car!

LOL, the glow was as a result of taking the pictures and then not doing anything with the roll of film for 15+ years. We were surprised that the pictures came out at all

Hello and welcome to TMF! Well if you keep her in tip top condition, not only will you get an advantage of good reliability and fuel economy, but charm, charisma and perfect handling, all missing from modern cars of today!
