Hi,
Maybe you should put the suburb you are living in in your profile. Will help with maybe meeting you up with some mini people.
Take a look at
www.mini.org.au which is the Victorian Mini Club Inc. website. This is the only classic Mini club in Victoria.
We have lots of events coming up and you are welcome to attend any that you can.
Our meetings are once a month in East Malvern and a social meeting also once a month (this Wednesday night actually) at Preston.
All of the Mini businesses are listed on our website also. You may want to buy a copy of our new Australian Mini magazine called "The Mini Experience". You can get it at Technical Bookshop, Swanston Street, Melbourne City. They also have a website for the street address. This mag also has all the adverts of the Mini businesses and clubs around Australia.
If I can help you in anyway just give me a pm and I'll send you my telephone number. I have previously been on the committee of the Mini club so I don't mind helping you out.
