I have a 1985 limited edition mini ritz, no mods just a chrome grill, i'm gonna get some sports pack arches and some deepdish minilites

[vipermini]

Anyone going newquay?

[purplesound]

I drive a purple equinox. I don't really know very much about cars so im keeping it pretty simple. As far as I know he's a standard 1275 with no engine mods.
I've put chrome side strips on between the arches, i'm currently in the middle of fitting chrome arches (i'll put them back on once i've touched up where the old plastic arches rubbed the paint, waiting for a sunny day or two!) I've got a chrome roof gutter to put on which I hear is a right bugger to do. I'm borrowing some Cooper alloys (very generous fellow Mini friend) until i can afford some four spoke Revolutions (although not fully decided on those yet)
I've got a set of 4 spotlights which i got for X-mas which i still need someone to put on for me.
I need to get the big dent in my boot sorted, and my new exhaust put on. (The tail of the old one fell off so min sounds pretty cool at the moment)
Hoping this should all be sorted in the relatively near future!
After that who knows what I'll think of

I've a 1275cc mini cooper S. K&N filter, central locking. Thats about it. I should get twin dtm and a 1.4 engine when i've enough money and am a bit older. INSURANCE!!! :nugget:
P.S. LOOK AT PROFILE FOR BIGGER PICTURE

Hi all

I've got a 1984 mini city E (think other mini forum members have got these as well), so sorry if this should be in red.

Interior out of a mini30, Sony ICE system - but sub and amp still to go in, can't find the right amp at the mo. Have a 3 clock centre binnacle gizmo!

Engine is still a bog standard 998cc, but once the exhaust gives up the ghost, will fit, or get someone else to fit, a stage one kit.

Colour - as far as I know, Carribean orange/red - at the moment, various stages of red/orange/primer, but I still love my car irresepective.

Had bonnet changed recently to a fibre glass one with pins etc - no bumps on head any more when checking the fluids.

This is my 3rd mini and wouldn't be without one. Did my first London to Brighton this year and can't wait until next year. Just hope the weather is a bit warmer on the Saturday night for camping!!

See you at the Drag Wars!

Welcome to the site, Helen! Glad to see you finally made it here. Did the fuse fix your wipers? If you look at the L2B thread on Events, Falk posted a panoramic photo with you and your car in it. (here for only 5 minutes and your famous already!)

Hi Tim

Glad I've joined theminiforum.

No, fuse didn't get the wipers going - blew that one and another. Knew I carried spares for a reason.

Been to garage today - dodgy electrics/fuse box which had taken out the heater and interior light as well. But wiper motor was ok.

Great fun coming home in the rain on Monday without any wipers.....

Surprised to see my car on here!

Oh no! How did you make it...driving with your head out the window?

I drove back on Sunday... beautiful weather, plenty of opportunities to stop for caffeine - anything to keep me awake!

" Surprised to see my car on here! "

This year the Forum did a calendar...so if you can get some decent pictures of your car, you might stand a chance to make it as Miss January or something! (I mean your car, of course!)

Talk to you later...

I've drove home, no wipers, rain, head out of window, luckily it was just across town and I didn't met any police people!



PS. I want to be Miss May!!

[chelseahelen]

Correct me if I am wrong, but Kent is a lot nearer to Sussex than Warwickshire???

I had the Police following me at one point (not speeding for a change) whilst it was raining. Lovely.....

[centralminiTC]

It rained on you??

You should have hung on a couple of hours......hardly rained on the way back Monday afternoon - no real need for wipers!!!

craziness or what!!!


see you got your avatar up and working!! :grin:

There is rain and there is rain!

Had Magda as navigator on the way home - and managed to miss all the motorways, so helped a lot.

Saw you this morning and beeped my horn, but you were in a world of your own - I wasn't in the mini though.

The Avarda was done by one of my mates last year - just had to find where I had hidden in the computer.
