Probably going to show my age here, but, does anyone remeber Martin's Marvellous Mini, a story in Tiger, a kids comic from a few ( cough! ) years back..

If I remeber rightly it was yellow with a broad white stripe with black border ( GT40 stylee ) or I may be completely wrong...

Anyone got a pikkie ??? or know any more.

oooo showing your age here, im way to young for it as i did a little research and it was published in the 1970's?

No comment, ( can't seem to find a wrinkly smilee )...

I think it actually started in th 60's and ran thru the 80's, was an off shoot of scorcher, and had the famous Roy of the Rovers ( not cars !! ) strip.

But I digress... I remeber painting a toy mini in the colours, and always wondering if I'd ever get a real one...

Now with two, I have a feeling that number 3 will be a homage to this long forgotten childrens Icon...

She'll be over on Tuesday, so if no-one manages to find a pick by then, I'll scan the story in, and we can all wallow in glorious nostalgia.....
