Hi guys just signed up here ready for when i buy my mini :)

A bit of my back round: I'm 24 and for the last 2 years i've owned a few Jap cars Supra, s14 and now an r32 skyline. Well when i was younger i used to have an 850 mini (when i was 16) and i always wanted to modify it and get it to how i wanted but never had the money, i never did mod that car and sold it a year later :D.

Due to a few things happening in my life at the moment i'm going to have to sell my r32 and i'll be gutted to see it go. A friend of mine has just bought a mini and i sat in it the other day just to see if i fitted in it (being 6ft2) and as soon as i sat in it i remembered everything i wanted to do to my old mini.

After that i decided that if i'm going to get rid of my r32 then i'm going to buy a mini and do what i want to it :)

so i'll be looking for a good cheap mini in the next few weeks fingers crossed :thumbsup:

Welcome to the forum mate :crazy:

I'm like you, had a few different cars but found myself wanting to get back in a mini, so here I am!

Incidentally my last car was a mr2 tubby, jap cars are fast but have no character.....again so here I am! :D

Get some pics up when you do finally find one

Enjoy the site

I did mean the fast and furious ones, not the latest aygo, yaris, cube ones :crazy: :) :D

Have you tried pistonheads yet? you'll get alot of interest on there, and also gtr.co.uk? I used to be a member.

And yeah I agree wait and get top dollar for it, might be a 'global financial crisis' going on but who cares? People want certain cars!

;D
