Not long owned mine ,1983 1275 fitted, HIF44, rollcage ,buckets,7-13 minilights,Metro turbo vented discs & calipers,sportpack arches,lowered etc.Someone had spent a substantial amount on the car a few years prior to me getting it.Some things on the car will have to be changed but it had got most things I wanted on the car(gettin old & me poor back wont take to much bendin!) so I was lucky realy

[Metmachex]

Marksmini,I come from Stoke and a mechanic by trade.Time & family permiting I hope to be around to answer a few questions etc.A lot of the clubs local to me seem to have moved on and then I found the mini forum and joined up.The forum is a great idea as it brings people together from all over and we can all help one another.

I work for a small independant garage established in the early 70,s .Apart from me there is only the owner and his son who is my age and they are all into classic cars.Its a nice enviroment,the money aint good but the people & the job satisfaction are important to me.Everything is old school there,so it suits me nicely and I am not sure I could cope with a busy main dealership.How you guys cope with the pressure I dont know,it seems like everybody wants the jobs done yesterday and for free,I dont think they appreciate what goes into modern cars.

GIVE ME A MINI ANYDAY
