I gave this young sprog a part code and he was confused. I even gave alterntives(sp?) and took me like 1 hour to order a radiator(they were best price) and some lightbulbs for my step dads's landy series 2.lol

I get so stressed in there, Im either ignored(which annoys me no end) or Im given C**p advice. My friend works there and shes ok thou:-)

"I need some red paint for a 1969 mini"...the real reply would be different to the advert

i seen 3 minis on way to work 2 day, (bout a 6minute drive) yellow and blue 1 in donnington by council depot, red1 coming down hill from newcastle motors to the e.p then 2 cars behind a black 1! is it anyone on here?

[DM08]

Woo, mini meet, ace. Thanks Shifty for the pm. I'd be well up for the 6th. Drove down the old A5 t'other day, nice n easy. It'd be great if we can get enough members together officially to have a spot at shows and stuff. No name suggestions yet but if i think of anything remotely decent i'll put it out there.

Oh, what time do peeps want to meet up then? Could do with a bit of time to pop home first, grab a bite to eat praps. 7:30 ok with everyone or has a time been arranged already? Gives plenty of time for those that clock off at 6 to chill a bit and then get to the pub.

Be warned, i'll be doing my best to find someone good with suspension......mines cr*p. One side is significantly lower than the other so everytime i take a left turn it scrapes the wheel! Think im looking at some new suss and then somewhere thats not too expensive to fit it (Not very technical minded myself but i try) as i dont have anywhere to attempt it myself. Anyone got any ideas as whats best to go for?

Anyway, bk to the club - are we aiming to have a treasurer, event co-ordinator and all them kinda things or for now just take it as a group of mini enthusiasts meeting fortnighly for a drink n chin wag? Might be best until we have deffinate numbers. I'm not bad with a computer but i just dabble with graphic software mostly when i get bored/have time. Once we have a name and stuff i could perhaps get some fliers circulated so if we see a mini we can leave a leaflet under the wiper. Generate as much interest as poss. It'd be easy enough to set up a facebook or myspace page for the club which i think would be a good idea. As for a standalone . com /co.uk ive never set one up and anyway, i only remember a bit of html - most stuff now is flash which we'd be better off with (much nicer and quicker loading time). Still, shall bring a camera or just take some pics on phone and then keep em ready to upload onto a pagewhen we have one and we can have a small blog with pics for our first meet

In the mean time i'll get intouch with a few mini owners i know jotted around. See you all on the 6th!

[Shifty]

Wow!!!

Its great to see so much interest, we should have done this ages ago!!!

DM08 I'm sure we can help you with your droopy suspension.

Time wise for the meet, I agree with the 7.30 suggestion.

So to summerise:-

Venue - Horseshoes on the A5

Date - Tuesday 6th May

Time - 7.30pm

How does this sound to everyone?

Time to keep this topic at the top of the list!!!
