Yeah, sorry - I didn't mean to imply or infer that you were. The fact that you're on here means you're interested in Minis as cars, and not a source of income. My mistake for not making it clear, and I apologise for any unintentional slur.
Now: Warriors, who dat? Oh, you're talking about MICHAEL CAMPBELL? Yeah, he did okay...
No problem.
A lot of people do get upset with the export of the cars to the states and I t does annoy me when you see Coopers and S's once coming from QLD,NSW or VIC sunning in California.More cars, you'll never see again.Australia and NZ are prime subjects to septic tanks because of the weather conditions and dollar.You do have to be compasionate considering the amount of American cars coming here particually Mustangs and Chev's.How rare are the mini's becoming ? I can imagine in the next few years a lot rarer in NZ than Australia particully now that the export scene over there has been discovered.I'm buying as many as I can, while they are reasonably priced,particually for my kids who have a keen interest.I think within the next 10 or 15 years, the prices could make the cars unobtainable.Yanks and Asian countries go mad over them and they are starting to leave in record numbers.Could be an interesting story for TME.
