Online looking to get advice and the details came up

[Tiggertoo]

Hi all

 

I have recently acquired a Freestyle kit car, part built and missing some bits, but mostly there, so I went looking for advice using (nearly) everybody's favourite search engine and so I got here and signed up.

 

I will look through the topics on the Forum and then start asking the first of many questions, both stupid and probing (I hope).

 

My first two cars were minis, a 998 then a 1275 GT. The second one ended up with a 1300 engine from elsewhere in the range of BMC cars, but eventually had to go in favour of vehicles with more space.

 

I'm located near Malvern Link, so if anyone wants to get in touch I'm open to a chat.

Hi. Just joined and heard about you from another mini owner.
I have a mini Cooper 53 plate. I have a problem when I drive through a puddle or a lot of road surface spray. The mini loses power. I press on the accelerator and it does nothing for several seconds then power comes back, then loses it again then power comes back! No warning lights come on the dash.Very weird. It's had a diagnostic test and nothing comes up. It's as if water is getting in somewhere and then drys out and the mini is fine again. Please help! I don't feel comfortable driving it in the rain anymore. 😣

I am from Carstairs, Alberta, Canada.

I raced a 1293 Cooper S in the early 1970s and have owned a number of Minis over the years.

I don't have one right now but am interested in classic minis. There is nothing like them!

Plus 2 early to mid 60's saloons which will be restored when the moke is completed. I found the site whilst googling for information.

Hi! I'm from Los Angeles Ca. USA. I followed "hazzar1236" over from "http://badobsessionm...ctiveboard.com/".

I don't own one yet, l'm learning all I can so I'll hopefully not make any(many?) big mistakes when I do buy! Thanks!

Just searching the web looking for information on my Mini when I bought it about 3 months ago and came across this website.

Hi all, 

  I'm Mick and I'm in West Sussex, found you via a Google search.

Been on the spanners for various manufacturers for thirty-five years, currently Mini (some BMW) main dealer for the last five years.

I like the current range so much I've just ordered an F56 and am currently waiting impatiently!

Been a Mini fan for ages but only this year have we got around to buying a good one.
It had a sticker in the back window with this web address.
