Hello All you mini freaks out there. Don't have a Mini anymore (had a few in my time tho') but still think they're cool motors.

See you in the forums, I hope.......

Welcome to the site, any plans tp get another mini?

Enjoy the forums.

[octane junkie]

Thanks CharlieBrown, no plans for myself - unless being a part of TMF gets me hooked again :gasp: Too many mountainous speed bumps where I live to make a Mini practical (well the kind of Mini I'd like anyway!!)

Cowboy, you can read my mind! I was just thinking how similar the side profile of a Mini is to my current ride, a 1999 Range Rover. Now do I down size the RR or what?

Hi, there was a mini with a rover front mounted 3.5 V8 in it at the IMM this year! Sounded a bit ropey but looked cool! There are a few 4x4s out there Menacing Mini's in Nuneaton have got one on a suziki chassis that does some of the shows and the pic above is one of the two always seen at Southern Mini Days.

Welcome, octane junkie

[octane junkie]

Thank you all. At the moment I've a house and garden to finish, then another house to find (plus work of course) so I'll be following everyone else's projects rather than starting my own (hey, must be cheaper, right?).

Mini's in Holland are quite expensive too - seen some pretty shabby examples being sold from about a thousand quid upwards :gasp: How does that compare to the UK? Oooops sorry wrong forum - I'll take that up elsewhere...... Cheers
