Have done an intro thread a few months back but now finally bought a mini! got it off a mate wont pick it up a for a few weeks yet funds to get etc.
I am still on provisional to planning to get it insured as a learner and I am doing the test at end of March fingers crossed and all that!!

Im 29 always wanted one when younger but when mad on bikes and had about 10 since 17 lol and tried to pass car test a few years ago did it 3 times
so hoping 4th time lucky! mate took me for a spin boy does she corner well hehe!

Its a 93' k Sprite 1275cc carbed, really good nick shell in great condition, passed mot with flying colours tester was well impressed how good condition it was, only
mods so far are 12" revolites with yoko A539's and cobra bucket seats which are great for holding you in place, matching door trims and rear seat cover and alloy door
furniture!
He also threw in some old ice a pioneer head unit amp and 2x 12" subs! and wiring! im just hoping it has some wiring for stereo in there already as from new it didnt have
a stereo!

Hopefully a picture attached if it works!

Thanks guys that was taken last year when my mate took it on the London to Brighton run as you might have guessed by the flag on it.
When I saw it yesterday it was filthy lol but can tell its in good nick, worse thing is the wheel nuts have gone rusty really quick!
can i get stainless ones?

Stainless would be no good but you could get stainless (or shiny plaggy) covers.
