Hello, another newbie here.

I drive a Mini Rio special edition, with a few added extras. I'm not very technical, infact I bought it because it looked so cool and I have always loved minis.
Take a look, then I don't have to embaress myself trying to explain whats been done!
Unfortunately I'm going to be selling it but not because I want to to, :D circumstances are forcing the need, so if you know anyone who might be interested?!

Hi, just joined today, so be gentle :xxx:

I drive (or will be again soon) a 99 V plate Cooper Sport 5 with S Works pack, I bought her new for John Cooper, she has only done around 12,000 miles but is currently under restoration after spending the last 5 or 6 years sat in my back garden (it is sole destroying to see her in such a state :D ).
The only mods I have done is swapped the standard twin DTM Janspeed backbox for 3” stainless (sounds a lot better), fitted a fast road cam with a superchip icon, replaced the standard Koni adjustable shocks for Spax Gas adjustable (hopefully going to fit coil overs if funds allow it), replaced the standard duplex timing chain for a vernier belt drive as for some reason the pulleys kept shattering causing me to have 3 replacement engine’s under warranty! and fitted an uprated diff due to the standard Jack Knight diff collapsing twice!

Does anyone know when the next Trent Valley meet is at Caneby Corner café? (as there website is well out of date). And does anyone know of any other mini meets happening around the Grimsby area?

My Mini is an '88 City E (Trixxie), just a 998 atm, but with stage 1 for a little bit more performance for now. Spax adj. gas shocks, Hi-los but only on the front for now, it really needs some on the back. Wide arches, 6 point roll cage, deep dish superlites and a couple other bits. I love it ;)

my mini isn't really that good ,but i am 14 years old and have a lot planned 4 it lol , and also your mini's are mint.

I have had it about 6months and spent just about £200 on it ,disk brakes from drums and 12" wheels ,interior handles , leather front seats, twin centre exhaust and more minor things.

if any one has some ideas for me what would cost less then £100 lol then plz let me know

:thumbsup:
