Hi All.

I remember looking into a 5 day course run near Hammersmith I think it was for classic mini repairs, restoration, bodywork etc. Does that ring a bell with anyone?

If so can you let me have details.

Thanking you in advance.

I was going to do it last year but a hotel would have made it too expensive.  He was willing to travel but I couldn't get the numbers to run a course.

Thanks for coming back to me. That looks like the place, but they don’t appear to be running the 5 day course anymore.

I think if there is enough interest he will run the course.  He told me 6 to 8 attendees.

I might be interested in the course

I'd be up for something like this - good excuse for a week away too!

Where would it be?

Might be just me but I think the course being offered is using the word mini to mean small or reduced not "mini" as in the greatest car in the world*

 

* sorry to VW Beetle fans - just because they were sold more in the US they won the competition IMHO not because it was the greatest car

I would take the course if it was mini specific. Even better if we could work on our own cars while learning.

Maybe the 'Mini Docs' on here should organise a weekend course somewhere mid-UK.

What would people expect to pay for such a course an what would they wish to learn?

I would love to do evening courses in welding / body repair

Would love to find a workshop where you can buy and build your own mini engine under the guidance of an instructor. Would be a great if companies that sell engine parts run something like that. They would sell the parts required with workshop instruction as a package deal. Good way of selling products offering a training course as well.

I have to admit that I am an old cynic (I was once a young one)

 

Nice idea, but look at it from their point of view, if you make a muck of the build, they either get to sell you another bunch of bits, or maybe get paid for doing the build.
