Hi Guys and Girls,

 

Dave here from way too sunny Queensland in Australia.

 

I have to confess i don't own a Mini but i do have a couple of Leyland Moke's, one is a 1977 BRG 1275 with way too much money invested in it.  Is invested the right word? my wife calls it a money pit. 

 

The second one is a 1980 galvanised bodied version that has been sitting in a back shed for 22 years, this car is now stripped to a bare shell ready for rebuilding.

 

I have had the green Moke for 2 years and in that time i have learnt quite a lot about what not to do.  Learning all the time though, actually i'm pretty happy with how it is now.  I just got back from a trip down to Melbourne in Victoria and back, total distance 3675 klm's and it didn't miss a beat. 

 

Cheers

Dave

Hi Dave,

 

I hope you don't mind me moving your thread here - we have a Moke section, just for us

 

Nice Moke !

 

I think we are always learning, I've been at it for a few years now and still picking up new things.

 

Great to see you like 'Road Trips' - there's a few of us here who do regular 'runs', but not always on the blacktop. Happy to hear about your adventures sometime

 

Cheers,

Chris

Those look like MX5 seats? (Miata here in the states)

Spot on Magneto, they are indeed MX5 seats, the leather ones with speakers in the head rest, kind of a waste really, i don't have a radio, lol.

 

Hi Moke Spider, when you say a few of you that do regular runs is that with Terry and Mazy etc from the Aussie moke forum?  I have Tamworth pencilled in for next year and i really want to go to  Jervis Bay but work keeps getting in my way.

 

Thanks Guys
