Hey... passed my driving test and within a week i had bought a 1988 Red Austin Mini in mint condition...and i want to make it better but dont no where to start...any advice? It got copper bits on it, fog lights, centre wheel caps, steering wheel, mats etc etc..... dont want to go mod-ing mad.

Im just getting used to driving it...afetr week of having it it needed a new battery and jumped it a tot of 3 times!!!

A big prob is condensation....... I hear lots of minis have this prob, i am on street parking so no shelter unfortunatly...and my mini has a sun roof, so its like its rainning inside. Quite funny... but anything i can do about this other than renting a garage?!

Im defo going to be a regular on here.........

Cheers.... Bec.x

What out lads, the sunglasses are out again! What out for Dom bec, he love you like the stallion he is then leave you wanting more! I know, it happened to me! :lol:

A good way to get over the condensation probelm is to generate some heat in the car, and if you want any ideas on how to generate some heat, give me a PM! :cheese:
