[bellicose]

Hi all, new to the site and pleased to be here. I had a good look around and this seems to be the better forum for info' and general Mini chat so here i am lol.

Ok so i just picked up my 14th & 15th Minis the other day, i'm 42 and my last Mini was when i was 'bout 28 so it's been awhile between drinks as you'd say.

Always loved Minis, my 1st was a 850 van when i was 14. It was a horrible rusty pile of crap that when you opened the drivers door it fell off as the "A" panels were non-existant lol, but man i loved that car.

Since then i've had all sorts of different models, including a couple of early Coopers, oh the joy of hindsight, should of kept them but typical young fella, didn't know what i had until they were gone.

I've had a very checkered car history, everything from Minis to Chev' Impalas. 209 cars in all.

My last car was a E34 BMW and my current is a Holden ute, as you can see by these 2 picture's none of my cars stay standard. Well i'm a custom car painter / airbrush artist so.............
