Hello fellow Mini Nuts! I live in Niagara Falls and I am running a 1991 Rover Mini 998cc.

Its Right Hand Drive and Japanese spec. Its pretty sick at the moment, but I will post that elsewhere.

I have owned about 12 Minis and driven many more. The Mini was my first car, and I learnt to drive and pass my test in them.

 

They are great fun, a four wheeled motorbike!

Makes me feel like I am 19 again when I drive one.

 

Cheers, Mark.

My Current Rover Mini I have here in Canada is my profile pic.

Here is my previous fleet.......

 

First Car. STM 175R. 1977 Mini 1000. Bought for 175 quid! Had the Mr Bean black bonnet, before Mr Bean.

2nd Car. BKL 431T. 1978 Mini 1000. Cost 795 pounds. Nice and shiney, but soon rusted through! Came off the road at 108,000 miles with a rusty rear subframe.

3rd Car. H447 GBK. 1990 Rover Mini Cooper RSP. Bought for 4,900 pounds with only 8,281 miles on the clock. Sadly sold after I have been in Canada 8 months.

4th Car. D215 UJM. 1986 Mini Mayfair. Used by my dad and brother. Cost 1,695 pounds with  36,232 miles covered. Replaced BKL.

5th Car. D95 RVH. 1986 Mini Mayfair. Bought for 450 pounds with 48,000 miles on the clock. To save my Cooper RSP from everyday use!

6th Car. K452 KMX. 1992 Rover Mini Mayfair. 1275cc. One owner car with 27,000 miles covered. Went like the clappers, but blew the gearbox up twice. (Don't thrash an AUTO!)

7th Car. G788 NKE. 1989 Mini Sky. 998cc. Bought as a banger while the auto was off the road. Took 300 quid out the cashpoint and bought it with no MOT!

8th Car. J922 UOE. 1991 Mini City Auto. 998cc. Bought for 950 pounds while the auto was off the road a second time. Very gutless, I could run faster! (Not pictured)

9th Car. BRITMINI. 1991 Mini City 998cc. Manual with Air Conditioning exported to Japan when new. Then imported into Canada in 2008. My Current Mini.

 

I have bought and sold a couple of others and driven many more.

MINI - Not just a car, a way of life :)
