Hi I'm Steve,

I will stop when ever I see a mini what ever the shape what ever the condition or modification. Drive minis everyday and love to be behind the wheel I know alot of Sydney siders but never really explored ausmini until now and went on my first ausmini the run up to the dam last Sunday. Very enjoyable.

I own 1962 MK1saxon green 850, 1964 MK1 tweed grey Austin super deluxe, 1966 MK2 Florentine Blue Riley Elf, 1969 Black mini K comercial van, 1971 Devil yellow Californian Moke, 1967 clay beige Morris 1100S and two 1967 Austin 1800s. You can see pics of all of them on the miniclub chat group photos page.

Long live the mini and good health to the people who keep them on the raod.

Cheers

yea, i actually saw a sample of
the material the sat before, but John wasn't too
sure as to how much he has, it is the closest iv
seen for roof linings so far, but colour is off a
tad, but might spray it with vinyl spray but
have not had any experience with
that so i dont know. but the pattern is the
main thing.

hey matic what do you mean *cough?

Duc

Dorothy and Queenie cost m $50 each a year with NRMA to insure, Shannons would only do it over $300 as the guy I was dealing with was a ning nong. I meet Chris's manager as he spoke at an Austin club meeting which I am secretary of. Chris then spoke on my behalf with his manager who had seen my cars well Dot at the meeting and they said they would match the NRMA. They insured the Elf $300 cheaper than the NRMA and the unfinished van for $7000. It costs me $26 a month roughly for $40 000+ worth of insurance. It pays to belong to a club and be very talkative.

Steve

yea me and dave are the mini heads
in shannons. you can speak to me or dave know
a bit o variety??

it's amazing how things work out beautifully in the end.
you just think "why didnt i do it earlier"
im going to have to end our chat session here
people arent going to be too happy.
thanks guys

Just thought I would reintroduce myself, formerly know as Sturn.

Have a Yellow devil clubman S daily driver, not the prettiest little thing though gets me around. Currently restoring a '66 mini deluxe, just started so there are going to be plenty of questions flowing.

Would just like to thank you all for the information you have provided me with so far and in advance for any information you provide in the future.

Cheers
Simon
