I'm from Bendigo, and drive a white Morris Mini Minor (poverty pack Mini K) as my daily driver / work car. I work in Eaglehawk and have it there most days.. Got my business name written on the side - good advertising!

I know a few around with minis as daily drivers. A friend commutes from Axedale to Golden Square every day in a mini deluxe. I think it's around a 66 model, British racing green, now with a black bonnet with checkered stripes as he hit a kangaroo..
Yeah Simon Young from British Sporting Cars has quite a few interesting minis, including a Cooper S with original fuel injection.
My uncle isn't far from having his original Cooper S back on the road. He's in Timor, just out of Maryborough. He's had that car since it was pretty much new.
