Hi,

Sarah and I just got back from a week in the sun in Port Douglas. Naturally I couldn't stay away from Minis completely, so here is some photos of our Hire Car!!

Just right for squeezing into spaces where no other car would fit. :D

Now I've got some real motivation to finish MY Moke.

Cheers.

Nope, but on the last day I was tempted to drive home rather than take it back. I reckon by the time they realised it was missing I would have been in Townsville with different number plates fitted. :lol:

It had by far the best ride of any non-hydro Mini/Moke I have ever driven. Only a stock 998 minus air pump and drums all round unfortunately.

Next time you are down my way Brett you can have a drive on my Moke. With the new hi-lo's, new cones and shocks and the bigger motor it will make that hire car look sad..... :D

You should have dropped over to Magnetic Island off of Townsville as well. They have about 20 to rent over there. What a hoot around the mountainous twisty roads!

Thanks for the offer, I might take you up on that! :D

New cones, new shocks, new bushes and hi-los is exactly what I have fitted to my Moke too. Now I just need to fit the motor, and paint it, and .....

EDIT: My new rollbar should be ready to pick up this weekend. CAMS approved type for Motorkhanas. :)
