I was at the petrol station at about 10 pm about 2 weeks ago, a nice looking dark blue mini (spi) came out of the car wash anyone?

what i was going to say was who ever this is must be blind! they drove past a minivan and did not even see it.
ok maybe they are not mini fans, well the roof had a decal and the exhaust was load. had an idea it might be wilson1275

pembury texaco doesnt have a car wash does it? ive lived here 18 years and never known of one so maybe its just me lol. wilson1275 doesnt drive a dark blue mini, hes got an F reg red one. still loud tho. i drive through the industrial estate going out of pembury every weekday morning and i pass a young guy in a dark blue/tahiti blue mini with spotspacks and loud exhaust etc going the other way a lot of the time. weve always exchanged waves but i dont think hes on here. mightve been him

well his car was wet (no rain) and it came from what appeared to be behind the shop. thats all new it used to be a maserati garage.
and it sounds like the man, ol wilson1275 has a red mini. I spotted a few minis around all looking super. the roads are yuk, even as white van man.

yeah roads arent a strong point. for the last month or 2 there have been road works on every route from pembury into twells which causes havoc. also got road works everywhere else around twells. not that theyre doing anything of use, just so they dont get budget cuts next year. how long are you around here then? and if youre in a white van did you beep a light blue mini coming out of calverly park gardens onto pembury road a couple of days ago? it confused me somewhat. one place they have done some very worth while road works is hall's hole road. i found it so hard to keep my mini to one side of the road i stopped going down there but its all smooth now, saying that it probably wont last long :w00t:

I am back in Switzerland since a week had the bad job of visting my mum in the hospice in the weald.
you only go in living, or as my brother put it "Gods waiting room" someone that works there has a mini I noticed.
On the good side I got a 1965 Morris minivan and a few parts, hence the white van high roof with the word BLITZ on the bonnet. I tried to not drive in Tw to much. right nightmere. Forest road used to be one of the best roads its the pits, you need a 4x4 for sure.

Hey thanks,
the vans not bad I will get a thread up when i get started, i got it from an ad here on TMF. when I lived in TW forest road was one of the best it was a flat out job.
story time:
A sort of mate had a white rover SD1 same as the old bill. we had been in Germany for a short stay where he got hold of an air horns set in a german type Halfrauds, it sounded just like the english old bill, 10mins later and it was fitted. Back in TW and we are on forest road, they had road works at the time on the posh end and we had a Spitfire in front, over loaded with at least 6 people in it! so on with the lights and air horns, you should have seen there faces "Carpping it" sheit the old bill, as we past them they were pulling over they got a full broad side of moonies which they did not exspect at all
and having no idea what was going on we drove past and on to the "dead beagle" for a beer.

lol. sounds like great fun. shame stuff like that never happens these days. im guessing the "dead beagle" is the spread eagle. ive had some good times in there, watching england lose at football time and time again! and theyve never asked me for id :unsure:
