hello everybody,
i got told about this forum tonight by a lovely mini owner name james who has borrowed me a ball joint splitter.
my name is julie and i am 30something!!!! a vet nurse from stoke on trent.
i am married with 3 kids and a HUGE St Bernard who likes to travel around in my mini which is a 1964 Super de luxe in old english white.
it is in great condition for its age and i use it daily (at the moment tho its got a broken cv joint :sad: ) the only things i have had to do so far have just been general mini day to day things (brakes ignition ect) but it has never let me down.
this is my 4th mark 1 mini as i just love the very early mini's but they must be 100% original.
speak soon
julie

Hello Julie welcome to TMF!

I'm a vet nurse also! You're brave allowing your st bernard in the mini what with all the dribble! My friend has a newfounland it was a squeeze for her to get in the back of mine!

Enjoy the site everyone is very jolly! :grin:

She has a big dog! It might bite me! :tongue:


Only joking, dogs love me! :cheese: They must be able to sense my sweet, caring, sensitive nature.

Welcome to TMF by the way, have a look around, put ya feet up, and have the little urchines of the site bring you anything you need!
