hi all i drive my little batman/joker inspired mini city 1000, its got standard engine and carb with k&n filter, lcb manifold with a straight through pipe to a rc40 backbox, it has got adjustable gaz shocks and high lows all round, 13'' deep dish wheels  not a lot of poke to be fair but its well fun to drive, might be looking to vtech it one day when the cash flow is coming in but for now it was a restoration worth while.

Poppy my 1995 1275 Sprite in Nightfire Red

 

Automatic, standard engine, standard interior (as I like it). Only mods are wheels and a Maniflow twin box centre exit exhaust, but only from the cat.

G'day everybody :) just bought my 1978 Leyland clubman yesterday. I'm not 100% sure if it's an actual clubman. It's got the 1,275cc bored out to a 1,310 in it, 4 speed manual with the cooper S brakes, suspension and exhaust (twin pipe, loud as hell and awesome) runs pretty well, drives which is awesome fun, not registered yet :P so only driven it around on back roads and sneakily out to the petrol station to pump up the tires a little bit :D little bit of rust here and there but what do you expect from a 36 year old steel bodied car? more surface rust than actual rust which is awesome but still not grouse. light blue in colour similar to the one on the banner for this forum. only paid $1,575 for it and am 120,000% stoked with my buy :D AND THE RESTORATION BEGINS!!!!

Hello everyone! I shall apologize before I do anything else because 1. I am a total woman 2. I am also a total newbie and 3. I am both at the same time. So under these 3 points you shall have to bare with me especially if you're going to talk about technical stuff! Anyway, Hi. I am Izzie (not my real name, nickname!) I have always been fascinated with Mini's and everything about them. I think they are the loveliest cars you can possibly get and oh, so cute! I've always looked for one but never found one in my price range and now I'm finally getting one! I am getting a 1992 (K reg) Rover Mayfair Mini in Grey. Used to be an automatic but previous owner changed it to manual (thank god!) He has done so much for this car to make it look as good as it does and I want to carry on his work. I want to make this car look as perfect as I can but currently have no ideas! Help? Anyway here's a picture of my new beast!

Welcome. You have to upload it to photobucket or similar and paste the link (unfortunately!)

 

EDIT: I think you can now click 'more reply options' and upload as an attachment? Let me know if it works!
