Yes ausmini world, i have the swine flu. No, that does not affect my judgement. Im thinking of painting lil egg (minimatic) in rainbow colors with the eye lashes on just to make a statement. What you think rehab? wanna take it for a spin? being the ultimate gay/fem/self gear changing attention grabbing machine? :D :D


sorry but I won't be parking in the same street :wink:

They can look acceptable in certain conditions. Those conditions being pitch black.

Or if you like the look of a 60s car with period accessories, like budgie perches, wicker picnic boxes, possible a monsoon shield, 10 inch tyres with those neat chrome trims.

No rumour, quite true (but usually a bit bigger than the mini ones that you see):

If that is their original purpose... no one needs them on now ok? They're ugly. :P

So many mechanics will want to tinker with your car because they think it'll be fun.. But a lot don't know what they're doing. I went in to get a RW with one mechanic, he wrote out a list, it didn't pass(I had a feeling it wouldn't).. He said that.. "I think it needs a part, i don't know what part but i'll get one"... I was quick to get my car out of there. What part did he intend on getting.. and why did he have to ask what something was.... that happened to be my susp. Dodgy. Be careful!!
