A blue pickup! Just like mine! The man has style!

[Pickup76]

wow thats some hell of a colection of minis, im very envious of the pickup! (and the chopped one with yello wellers)

Welcome!

Cheers its a Hawk S&A replica Sprint in GRP with a an integral roll cage .

4" lower than a standard mini . Much stronger than a steel shell , quiter and handles better , only draw back less room for going to Italy especially with twin tanks .

The green one is also a Hawk , bit of a show car though . Still not mine any more .

Hi Rog,

Cheers for joining the forum.

I haven't sorted the top steady bar bushes just yet, Uni work is the priorty at the moment, but I will get it done soon.

Welcome to the site!

Thanks for the welcome . I,ve got the rubber bushes now

Took all the stickers off both cars and gave them a good clean , thats been it really , they took a bit of a hammering this time . Spend some time sorting them out over the winter.


Sort Uni stuff first , most important .

Glad to hear that your all mended now.

I have decided to leave the Mini arena and have bought a 944.

Not been impressed with the shows this year, especially the IMM.

Siggy

[rougeleo]

Cheers . I,d seen that you had a 944 I didn't do many mini shows anyway , but couldn't leave the minis love em to much , but may yet join you in the Porsche arena as well , have been looking at 911s.

Been on Pistonheads forum , some good Porsche chat on there ?

Didn't make this years IMM. Dave , but some said it was good .
