Wondering if anyone is planning a trip to the Ballarat swap meet which is this Friday and Saturday. I will probably go.
I'm happy if I get a few magazines and stock up on hose clamps, paint etc. Usually not a lot of mini stuff but funny how
various parts catch your eye as you wander past. A tiny pair of brake drums or radiator tucked in a corner. Looking at
cylinder heads hoping to find a Cooper S one ! There is one stall - a regular and its almost all Mini stuff but generally
not too exciting.

I went I didn't see a lot of mini stuff. I saw a Leyland era mini workshop manual but i thought the price was a bit steep at $60
I did not understand how big it is..My legs hurt.

I went too, a tidy Rover mini for about $14000 I think. Another bloke had some door hinges and an engine block and the inner panel of a Cooper S dash, I didn't see too much Mini stuff at all really. Oh set of Minilite mags.

The Rover was black. I picked up a nice set of Cooper S rims and a new number plate light (from Classic Bulbs SA). I was in at 7am and out by 11am, got around the whole thing, but sore legs!
