cheers dude. im a member of a few mental forums (all of which do different jobs and 1 not so insane (very dour infact , but it gives me the info i need when i need it, which is greeeat! )

so this is like a national forum? seems mad when theres mini clubs in nearly every major town.

Still, good to have another source of info if i have any problems.

Also South Africa, Malaysia, the Phillipines, Canada, and even Scotland!

Plus, to complicate matters, we have Americans and Canadians in England, Brits and Yanks in Germany, and several other combinations too confusing to ponder!

Local clubs are great, I belong to 2 (well, Central Minis aren't really local to me, but they do a good party at shows!), but an international forum can broaden our horizons, get to know people from all around, and be assured of a spot around the fire at just about any Mini show going!

Oh, by the by... welcome! Nice looking RX7! I'm showing my age here, but when the RX first came out, it was rated by a motor mag in the US as the 'best sports car under $7000.00'.... by the time they hit the dealers, you couldn't touch one for that price! Definitely a car that holds its looks.

I think we have some people from Cornwall too, but obviously they're lost
