Hi all, just stopped by to say hello and introduce myself. My name is Phil and i've been in Malaysia for the last 4 years. I'm ex-Air Force having served 24 years for Her Majesty. At the moment i am a full time dad and loving every minute of it. My son got me into cars first.... not full sized but the small remote control ones. He's only 11 months old but i'm warming the tyres for him until he gets the hang of the controls.

Its these little cars that brings me here really. In order to make a bit of pocket money i have been selling these cars on ebay and now i have made my own website. I won't mention the URL here as i don't think its appropriate for a newbie to do that.

I shall place some words on the For Sale section about the Mini Coopers available so hope to see you all there or you are of course welcome to PM me.

Regards and thanks for your time, Phil

You should give us the website/URL mate!! put it in your signature. That'sreally good.
Do you mean you have Mini Coopers to sell? I don't understand that bit..
Welcome anyway, hope you enjoy your time here.
Rob.

Hi Rob, thanks for the kind words. I think my URL is already in the signature but in case it's missing its www.race-tin-sales.110mb.com

The Mini Coopers that I have are licensed by BMW scale replicas from the John Cooper Challenge series. They are by far the most detailed models that i sell (i'm not just saying that, they really are very neat)

Sadly here in Malaysia, the Cooper S is available but the government throw an enormous amount of import duty on top which puts them out of the reach of the average Joe, or in this case, the average Phil.

Thanks for the good spot on my site.... i'd be really upset if i ordered a BMW and was given a Peugeot.

Regards, Phil

I'll certainly have a look around. There is curiously (or not) quite an interest in Mini's here in Malaysia. Model cars are all over the place. I try to specialise in Auldey because they are licensed by BMW to produce replicas but there are other makers available.

Get back to you soon, Phil

Hi Mk1leg, I've had the chance to have a good look around and no luck with the classic mini's so far. I'll keep looking but hope is fading fast.

There are lots of the real thing around and i have considered buying one for fun but i'm worried about getting the spare parts.

Phil
