Evening all!
Finally got around to throwing in some pics and saying hi!
Have been afflicted by the Mini disease since I was a super young'un watching Dad run around Winton in a '34 Singer. But the Mini's always had something special about them! Something about them taking on John Mann and co in the Mustang's made them stand out!
Raced the radio control version for a long time (part of the
www.rc-mini.net crew) but they were only enough to keep me intrigued
So - a few years ago, I attempted to solve the affliction by buying an 08 Cooper S. Great car - a go-kart on steroids - and it kept me going for a while, but didn't tick all the boxes!
So, I've been hunting gumtree, fleabay, Trading Post, Carsales etc all trying to spot a car worth a0 looking at, and b0 spending cash on! I looked at a few local cars that were asking CRAZY money for what they actually were and then a few weeks ago I spied the new toy on fleabay, situated in Broken Hill. I spoke to the owner quite a few times - and then tied on a trailer and made the trek upto look at the car. A few hours later, and she was on the trailer and heading home with me!
On the hunt for a few odds and ends to get it upto RWC - and then it'll be onto CPS and driving about.
Would love to have it at the re-scheduled Picnic at Hanging Rock, but just depends on what other issues are picked up on before it gets RWC'd!
It's teasing me having it sitting out there waiting to be fanged - so hopefully the sooner the better!
