Hello there!

I hail from Hertfordshire, and I just bought my first mini at the weekend
After having wanted one most of my life, I'm now the proud owner of a '97 Cooper and loving every moment of the past days!

I found the forum thanks to the trusty Google; I'll probably be bugging a lot of people for help and advice over the next few weeks and months, as there are a few bits and bobs to get done to restore her to her full beauty.

Been a member for quite a while but not actually posted much yet. I found the site searching the net for anything to do with minis, i've had my heart set on getting one ever since i was a kid and I've got my test in under a month, fingers crossed I may be a very happy chappy soon.

Hi, I just found your forum after punching a product code number for my distributor into google. I joined hoping to learn more about working on my mini. I am from Australia, my first car was a mini. An old 1976 Clubman that I did up and sold in 1994. My current mini I have had for about 9 years, although it has copper S MkI bages on it but it is a real bitza. It has an 850 floor pan with push button start (1961), an 1,100 shell in Burbundy (1966), all cooper S running gear, Cooper S Mk1 gear box, 1275LS block, Cooper S Mk2 head, twin SU's and cooper S Disc brakes. I love driving it when its going well and have had most of the work done by my loacal mechanic. Now I want to leanr more about working on the car myself. Living in Australia we can go on some really long drives. I am having some trouble with my electronic ignition at the moment so will post something up on the technical page. It will be great to be a part of the mini forum and looking forward to chatting leaning more about all things mini.

My name is Jimmie from Suffolk in England. I owned an 84 mini Mayfair about 8 years ago that basically rusted itself off the road! I now drive a 1971 Mk III that's awesome! It's got its little quirks, but that's life with a classic! I heard about this site from my mate, who owns an 87 Mayfair himself, one that he's doing a good job of straightening up. Glad I signed up for this site!

building myself this

[gothicfrog]

I stumbled across this site during my current task of looking for a classic mini rolling shell. I have had mini's for all my life and have and can never envisage owning anything else if I am honest. My currrent mini is in need of a re-shell and that is what has brought me here.

Hey,

I'm from Stafford. I don't own a Mini at the moment, but have always wanted one and now is the time to get one I feel. There are various Mini owners in the family, with one member having an Italian Job themed wedding complete with Mini shaped cake My Uncle pointed me in the direction of this forum, so I could learn more about these gorgeous cars and gather some advice about finding and buying my first Mini. So here I am! Expect lots of (possibly) stupid newbie questions
