I've been stalking the site for a while now and decided to come out of the dark and say hi.

My name is Steve and I am originally from Florida, USA but have lived in High Wycombe for almost a year now.

I have a '92 Cooper, red with checker roof and new 12" superlights. She is my daily driver.

I also have an '81 which only comes out of the garage on sunny weekends which as I've found out since living here isn't very often. She's in for a respray right now but hope to have her home soon. Up until the respray she was all original in almost perfect condition.

I am ticket holder number 2028 for the London to Brighton but can't decide which one to take yet. Maybe someone can help me decide.

well i dunno that would be a hard choice to make

I would say your daily driver because i like minis that are used on a daily basis they're out whatever ever the weather and (normally) always do you proud

But..then the one that only comes out on sunny days might like a day out too..make a change from looking at 4 walls :- and show off her new paint

Could you not take both..get your mum or gf/wife whatever to drive the other one?

Oh and my mini is the purple Equinox thats been running around wycombe for the last 6 months. (dunno if you have seen it)

Hi Steve, must be nice to have two minis, been hankering after another meself.

Yeah we might not get as much sun as Florida, but i bet we got more minis :D

Thats our sunshine ;D

LTB is great, haven't done it for some time, but when i went last we were mostly in traffic, all mini traffic though, so it was great. I say take the 81, he'll feel all left out if you don't use him.

Any piccies mate???
