Hi, I'm new here. Looking forward to the forum.
Bob Cox, from Conneaut Ohio, USA age 62

Bought my first Mini (Austin 850) in 1964, have had six since. Once owned '65 Morris Cooper S, LWC505C while living in England in 1969-1972. Hope it's still happily motoring about!
Currently own '69 Mk1 shelled Italian job replica TNX64G (Mini World Dec.'95) now with 1380. I'm currently restoring MK1 with 1380, Island Blue, - both cars attached pics. My son and I use the white car for track days also.

Looking forward to meeting you folks on the board.

HI

I'm Chris, know by my mates as Burnard, Burny or Burns.

I have a 1988 Mini Designer in white (diamond) currently being restored and modified to be white and red.
I'm 16, so obviously dont drive it, not on the roads anyway, but i do plan to learn to drive and take my test in it once it has been finished.

Some pics:

How cool is this, I have just found that my Mini MK3 was one of only 3000 built, This mini was only ever manufactured in South Africa.

http://www.aronline....tm?ado15saf.htm has a picture of it.

It has however been modded with a 1275 engine, The original 1000cc (998) motor got lost in history somewhere. I think I will be doing a post on Maya on my blog fairly soon.
