Currently, I don't drive anything after my baby and I (the mini of course) got in an accident a year ago. But I'm currently restoring her back to her prime, much to the annoyance of my actual human girlfriend.

Had an 850 back in the 70's. Now my 18 yr old son has got a 1989 Racing Flame 998. Good job I kept my imperial tools.

I've just passed my test, and bought myself a Rover Mini Mayfair 1996. Immaculate in and out, already been shopping for some extras for him! Just 26,000 miles on the clock, love it; they're so fun to drive!

Have a 1987 Mini 1000 City-E (998cc), which I drove up until she stopped working last year - which is all okay!
I've a full ground up rebuild in store for her, no matter what. Mods? Thats a secret sauce for now, but she has seen better days.photo.JPG

I drive a 79' clubman 1.1

Still a project but is in a road legal condition and I use him a few times a week

I got a lot in mind but most of it I will keep standard

I can only do a few things each time and I'm just starting for replacing all brake components for new ones and next will be all the suspension

Hi all, noobie here,
 
I am new owner of a 1967? mini (according to auction information) -- but it appears to actually be a 1973 Innocenti Export 1001, amaranto color ...
 
... and I need wiring diagrams.

Hi All ! Just joined this forum, JUST bought my first 'modern' Mini. I've had two 'old 'uns' in the 90's but this is my 1st BMW MINI, I LOVE HER TO DEATH !!!!!. She's a black, convertible Cooper on an 05 plate, 57,000 on the clock and she's the buizzzz !! Heavy clutch but.....cummon ! she's a soft top MINI !!! THE ONLY car you can come out of your front door in the morning and have a smile slapped on yer face just by looking at her :) no other car can compare.

Cheers, hoping we'll have some fun !
