Hi guys...
Funny thing happened to me tonight, as I drove my Mini locally to do a job on a customers computer... Betty, as my daughter calls my car,had been spotted by a guy, who's name I forgot to ask, and tracked down, apparently as it was new on the local scene (these are getting rare) one hour later a knock at the door of the house I was at repairing someones sick PC, and I was handed a flyer... with www.the miniforum.co.uk ... so here I am to introduce myself.
Please the guy who I was chatting to in the street, please get back in touch...It's nice to see, that after the proposed takeover of that BMW thing, that the Classic is still going strong.

[beemerduck]

Hi guys, thanks for the friendly welcome, I'm actually out side Manchester (manchester postcode, lol) in Atherton nr. Leigh

This is my mini, sorry the pic isn't too good, I have to take some new ones !!
Bought 2 months ago as a lowly City E
she's had 13x7 Ultralight Extremes, shod with Dunlop 195 rubber
Group 4 arches (I think) loads of chrome, including bumpers, grille, mirrors, monza cap etc.
I ripped out the grey city interior, put in black carpets, cream corbeau classic seats, a walnut dash from a late cooper, 3 clock dash from a 1275gt, alloy door furniture, walnut wheel etc
The engines a pretty standard 998, with a K&N cone filter, uprated adjustable tie rods at the front.

I have just got her back from a complete front end rebuild, which included doors, scuttle panel, inner scuttle, inner wing,2 new wings,bonnet and front panel and a respray.

I've just fitted the mandatory cd player, with 16x9's sunk into a panel to the front of the rear seats.

Loads more work to do yet though, but I'm hoping to give my wallet a rest...
New year ... new bigger engine, new ball joints, shocks and hi lo's
