Hi Everyone

I'm Celia, I live in Oxford..

And I'm usually found cruising about in a grubby little Paul Smith called Doofus..

I don't have any piccies of him I'm afraid. And he's looking a bit sorry for himself as he was reversed into a couple of weekends ago... :dozing:

So hello from me, I recognise some of the user names from "other" sites!!

As soon as possible really..

I have a new bumper & grille to fit and the bonnet needs straightening a bit.. But he's starting to develop rust at a rate that upsets me every time I wash him!! So hopefully I'll get all the bodywork done a bit later on in the year...

can you not just get a new bonnet or does he need some new panels aswell?

Hehe I dunno!!!

My Dad is going to straighten the bonnet out for me, and he's going to have a look over the rust for me.

Once he's done that.. I'm hoping it won't take too long to sort him out..

Yeah I live just up the road from the Kassam so it probably was me you saw...

I've had him since November 2004. I haven't done much to him, just a new exhaust and put a centre console in.

I like him just the way he is.. I just like to drive him!!

Hey Paul..

Thanks for that! I spent ages getting him cleaned up and ready for the riv... Its guaranteed though really..

I got one problem fixed, get home and drive around for a week. Go shopping in Oxford and come back to the car park to find him sat there looking all forlorn.. Booo..

They are my favourite mini's. I always said that if I was going to have one it had to be a Paul Smith..
