oh dont get me wrong i love my bug
just minis seem to be the way forward
the vw scene is either drag racing or static shows and after
riding shotgun on my first mini run the next will have to be done with
me at the wheel

and with the guy who built my vw prepared to help me build the mini
it should be done pretty quickly

welcome to the Mini forum!

I like VW's, I have a water cooled jobbie at the moment (not quite as special as air cooled), but i've played around with my mates Type 2 crew cab pick-up from time to time!

I hope you find a good Mini, and have loads of fun with it!
