No, not a woody, they had stickers from new, not in my time though.  Something like this I suppose:  http://www.theminifo...clubman-estate/

At the 2014 London to Brighton, this was our first time doing the run. Did well considering there were four of us!

 

 

Needed some help getting home however!

 

 

 

L2B 2015, a couple of overheats but made it there and home under its own power.

 

 

 

L2B 2016, our last (for now) run. No problems at all on this one.

Take this in the way it's meant; in a time of minis being restored and looking factory new, there is somethng nicely beautiful about a car that stills looks like its from the 80s. I really like it.

 

Some great cars in here ladies and gents. I'll dig out one of mine before it ended up in pieces in the garage.

Here’s our well loved and used 98 Cooper works S.

 

both photos are from shows last year.  

 

Somehow she won best in class at our big show in Northern Ireland - the North Coast Mini Club weekend at the end of August.  Really hoping that the things are more sorted by then and the show goes ahead this year. The North coast lot run a brilliant weekend.  Starts on the Saturday evening with a short run from the Bushmills Distillery (literally our next door neighbour) and then has the big show on the Sunday at a great venue on the coast in Portrush and finishes with a show drive up the pedestrian paths.  The craic is great.

Thanks for that, I showed it to my Mum (who the car belongs to) and it made her smile, she said it was nice of you to say.

I don't think I could ever really change it, it has its own character (dents and all).
