Just joined and wanted to intro...

Got my first mini (1967 850 'Wet suspension MOT failure) for 16th birthday 1981 and got it an MOT in time to pass my test!!! :teehee:

Had fourteen more after that building three from bare shells including my favourite 1380 Renault 5 Turbo eater!!!! could say I got it bad. :grin:

Had to move on to bigger cars after kids born (Dolly sprints and Mantas) and now run a Mitsubishi V6 FTO and a Galant.

Hankering to get my hands dirty again and looking for a 'project' for £2-300 Rolling shell will do or even a shell with bits in the North west area if anyone knows of one,preferably a clubman.

I've three kids all wanting to learn to drive in the next few years and it seems as good an excuse as I'm ever going to get :wink:

Yes indeed, and I bought a mini because my cat said it wanted to learn to drive ... a welcome return to glorious insanity, andy p, and your experience will go down well here
