i had a very nice late 30's woman talking to me about my mini in a petrol station one day and about her 1275gt she had as her first car. i wish there were more people that appreciated it

The older generation love it as its a gateway into their youth I think which is always nice

Why, thank you young man! But i bet mine would spank yours in a drag race!

When i was a lad my 1960's mini cooper S was held together with bits of string and scellotape, but it did 120 miles an hour. we never had rust back in those days, and they never broke down.

You must pop round one day for a week and we can chat for months about my old Mini cooper S that did 120 miles an hour and was held together with string, tape and araldite. Mind you, it never broke down and never had any rust.

I remember the days when i had a 1960's Mini cooper S, aaaaahhhhhh, those were the days. Now where did i put my keys for the lambourghini.

Anyone seen my slippers?, looks like i will be here a while.

Did i tell you about when i was a lad? i bought a 1960's Mini cooper S that was held together with plasticine and sticky back plastic. Boy could that car go, it did a hundred and twenty miles an hour up the high street to co op and back. I had to go back because i forgot my greenstamps.

Must go for a wee now, as i am getting on a bit, but i WILL be back.

Did I ever tell you about the best dodgy deal I ever did?

Once upon a time, in the 1960s, I put Cooper S badges onto an old Mini 850 that was held together with string and araldite and sticky backed plastic and sold it to a little fella who was so far off the wall, you'd think he was from another planet!

He sounds familiar! Maybe i should meet with him one day and stay for a week and chat for months! I bet that fella's Mini cooper S didn't go 120 mph though!

The only people to stop and talk to me, were telling me about their days of courting, and how he used to have his way with her in the back of his countryman...

Hi all, me again...
Just thought id share my adventures of earlier today. I was driving back from chester and pulled in to Keele services (i think?) and as i was parking up, an old man (no offemce intended to anyone) stood up of his bench and clapped loudly with his hands above his head and a smile beaming from ear to ear!

I hope you thanked him properly and bought him another can of Special Brew to repalce the one he knocked off his bench!

LOL

That really made me laugh that did.
