I think I must be losing the plot. I am currently about halfway through a restoration and can hardly think of anything else?

Before I fall asleep, when I wake up. Many times during the day. Going over my plans for the next step of the resto.

Then if I'm not going over things in my mind, I'm probably on ebay looking for bargains, even if I dont need those parts!!!

If I see a mini in the street as I'm driving around I have to slow down and have a good long look.

I got it real BAAADDDD!!!

If you too are suffering from miningitis please let us all know just how whacked out you are too....a bit of fun for mini freaks.

No replies means a trip to the shrink for me so come on, own up, make me feel I'm not alone!!

They dont just get under your skin, they get on top of it, in it, above it, 3ft below it and quite often float an inch above it

Sometimes i find it a nice distraction... too much on my mind or been annoyed by something, just chill and think what its going to end up like. No costs or anything like that, just what it will look like... got a vision in my mind, just feel its taking longer to materialise! But guess i still have that for a distraction till its done then ill have to imagin something else

I think about all 3 of mine. What's to do next etc. white one is my daily, nearly sorted to go back on the road, my Chelsea is next for a full resto and my blue Mayfair is in a very bad way and needing to be sorted.

Working outside in the garage in all this freeeezing weather is well worth it. Might hire a tea lady to make me my cups of tea, well needed!

I just find that a well put together mini has a timeless style that is just ssoooooo cool

I'm the same, but being in sixth form with a part time job to pay for the bloody thing makes it a bit harder to work on. Not fussed though, gets me through maths, looking out the window at it saying "That's mine!".
I've got a few things to buy in the next 2 or 3 months like a new interior but then I've got to start trying top save for a respray. It's going to take me at least a year to save for but it'll be worth it!

3 is a worry not a dribble....we're back to three at the mo (compulsive mini saver)

Its winter all you do is run in the garage check for moreeee rust bubbles, are they warm enough?, should I cover them in the garage or not? oh my god check anti-freeze and oil!' need to start them up more often!!... I'm a bad mini parent!!!

Guilt plus more guilt = rust bubbles and heartache

Not sure why we do it

[gazza01]

What colour? Or are you undecided? I'm going for almond green with old english white roof..just to make it look a little dated.
