Wicked Ooh and your mini sounds cool, you have a photo?

Why only til tomorrow? Who's leaving?

I want to put a black roof on mine - Satin black though, if it's too shiny it'll make the rest look dull
Also need to blacken up the arches if I do that (they're a bit grey due to 20 years of sun) and I've STILL got minilights in the boot, I really need to do something about those

And then there were 7...
1. minili
2. mayfairjimmy
3. Captain Matt
4. starrider
5. Roo
6. GiroUnit
7. StaceyJM

Edit: Love your mini giro! And a day out to the mini races would be so cool in the summer

WOW does he want another job?!

That's SOOO shiny I had to go get my sunnies so I could look at it longer How old is it?

He fancy painting a roof satin black?

If he's really lovely he could fix my doors too, someone's done a REALLY bad job on them

LOL starrider do you have any photos of the outside? Or do we have to go round popping peoples' boots until we find yours

Is it the old favourite orange with black roof/stripes/arches? Oh now you've put that second one on I haven't a clue what colour it is lol

Nice. A part of Treacle used to be that colour. Till she was re done from being mostly blue to full blue

[StaceyJM]

He'd need to c it, but i can ask 4 ya.

She's a 1962 but had 2 be reshelled due to rot near the doors on the front. She used to be my Aunty's and b4 that my Mum's. And my Dad kept her for my as I always wanted a Blue Mini.

i used to have loads of pix but for some reason they're no longer in my photo file. i will take some more this weekend

[StaceyJM]

My Mum took a pic of Treacle when it REALLY snowed in Jan a she just looks like a toy.

She had a new paint job and that was her first day out after my Dad had been doing her up so thats y she shinny.

I do still try and get her looking really shinny but its hard this time of year when all it does is rain or snow. She just gets water makes.

[StaceyJM]

Cool cant wait to c them!!!

Aww how good of him! My dad mentioned getting me a mini numerous times when I was between ages of 13 and 17... but ended up buying me a Punto instead

And it took me 4 years to be able to get one as a second car lol, have to keep a modern and safe one to keep the rentios happy

I kinda enjoy doing DIY work on the car but my dad doesn't have alot of time and without another knowledgeable person about I can't do much...
