Hi folks,

Some of you probably know me already, but for those who dont, heres some background on me and what I enjoy!

I've been into minis for some 13 years now, modifying, restoring, trading and mainly enjoying!

I Help to run the minifinity (www.minifinity.com) site and club - mainly involved in helping run club activities and representation for events. I have been running local clubs for many years, and arranging events for even longer!

I live at the bottom of the cotswolds, not far from BRistol, and my current mini ownership is a little slender at present, but am currently running these:

1. Bert, 1978 Clubman Estate.

He's got a late MG unleaded 1275 motor, 7x13 Ultralite extremes with Continental 195/45 tyres, walnut inside, and a few other goodies.

2. Marilyn, 1989 City E

Posted Image

I picked up Marilyn last week, and myself and Ria (Minimad on here - my better half) have some grand plans for the future for it!


And also use/repair/modify the other cars in the family:

From left to right:

Vinnie (Ria's 97 Cooper Sport)

Marilyn (89 City E)

Bert (78 Clubman Estate)

Gussie (My old man's Retro as seen in the latest MiniMag)

Bertie (My Mum's cool Mayfair, with luxurious half leather & walnut insides)


Whilst I can usually be found over on Minifinity, I always have an eagle eye out on the scene, so expect to see you guys at the shows next season - Minifinity are renound for their partying ability on campsites prior to events, so hope you guys will join us for a drink soon!

I've already had a quick conversation with Mark on MSN a few days back about events organisation, so I'll be giving him some pointers soon to help you guys out.

Matt.

Great collection of minis there Matt!!! :lol:

At this years Bristol show (in Bath..) Central Mini's club had a poor show - just two of us girls and we camped over in a quiet spot. And then Minifinity came along......complete with beer tent, neon signs, bbq and sounds!! Just down our street being renowned party animals ourselves.

Fantastic night (until we got told to shut up!!) Cheers guys!!

Must do these camp overs alone more often!! :cheese:
