Hi,

I'm Alex, and am 17. Recently made an account on here, and dayaam I wish I had done earlier! Best forum by a country mile! I am the proud owner of Dr. P, an F-reg Cherry Red Mini Thirty. Have had him since September 2011, and with the help of my fellow petrolhead dad, have been making him a little more road worthy ever since. He needed a little welding here and there, but nothing too major. Unusually for a 998, cracked cylinder head, so fully re-built top end. Replaced all knuckle joints, and whilst the suspension was apart, fitted a set of Hi-Los, so now he sits nice 'n flat. 'Custom-Consoles' dash inside, courtesy of previous owner, finished in an apt Cherry Red! Have been collecting all components of Stage 1 kit for a while now, as teenage funds couldn't strecth to buying it outright, but now have full kit, so intend to fit as soon as the weather improves. Meanwhile, a drilled airbox supplies a little throatier note ;) As for ICE, nothing dramatic, 2 JBL 6x9s coupled to a decent head unit, but who needs that when they've got an A-series to listen to?!

Cheers,

Alex.

Hellooo!

Nice Mini! I've always loved the Mini Thirty. My bro used to have one and such a laugh it was too! Enjoy! :-)

Cheers guys! :) Plan to do a few bits and pieces as I can afford to, but will keep all the orginal parts so I can revert it back to a Thirty as and when!
