Hey everyone My name is Warren, my partner Kirsty got me hooked into minis about 11 months ago after she talked me into getting one, after a bit of a hunt we found a mini city and a second (parts car) for a reasonable price, the body was a bit rusty and had failed its warrent of fitness, hence the spare car. The engine however was a brilliant 998 with free flow exhaust, and was music to my ears, and after a quick test thrash with no rear window and half the interior stripped I was hooked! grinning from ear to ear. and fizzing like a dropped can of coke I casually said "yeah I think we will buy it", buy the time I got home I had already decided I was claiming the parts car lol.
So now here I am full of questions and eyeball deep in mini bits! Im enjoying working on something very diffent and going well fixing up Kirstys mini and cant wait to build my one next.
