Hi Y'all...

Imma a new dude to the mini scene. I purchased (well still paying my parents back) a OEW Mini City about 3 weeks ago! Its had a few things done to it already thanks to the previous owner (Jon, Middlesborough) inc... respray, Sportpack wheels and arches, 1275cc (not sure what kind, u guys are gonna have to help me out!) leather interior, 1.5 roller rockers ( i think thats how u type it) hi-lo's, quickshift, dash... and more. Imma gonna start adding new shiney bits and sort out the gearbox (as with all mini's) and sort the electrics which needs bit of attention.

Im loving the whole mini vibe so far. So wicked just driving around and getting glances while signalling and waving to fellow mini owners! I cant wait to hit some cruises and meet fellow mini owners a like!

So flash me if u drive by! (lights that is!)

Jai

Well Grover was in the mini but he took up to much space. When he took a kip in the back he took up all the back seat. He's gonna come out with us in the summer as its warmer plus he has no clothes.

Do u have a Bungle in yours?

Ria, i was wondering if you guys have any more of the Old English White that you used to paint Grover with? He's got a few stone chips over the motorway drive from the north! Or if you know where i could purchase some from?

Thanks

The paint was mixed specially by a company in Bristol to the code of the Old English White the Mini 40 was sprayed in. Unfortunately, we don't have any left though... sorry ;D

I thought I recognised that mini.....!!! ;D

Lovely car, I'm glad he's finally gone to a good home again.

Ria, I'm sure Matt told me he kept the mixer print outs for the exact paint code for Grover, so he may have those somewhere if that helps BiMU.......
