Hi, my name's Erin, also from Adelaide, and I don't have a mini yet :cry:
I'm using the time that I have to save for my (future) mini to do some research and get to know more about minis :)

G'Day, It's finally time to admit I am an addict. My name is Dino, and I have a '65 Deluxe.
My daily driver of 32 years, the kids christned him Marvin (he's dark green / white roof), this reliable old "War Horse" has only ever seen one tow truck - when he dropped a main gearbox bearing in the carpark at work - every other time we have managed to limp home together. Mechanically fine, has a GR worked 1275, but body is "tired". He has earned a makeover and I will post a new thread on this topic.

I realised my addiction when I recently bought a complete (but in pieces) '64 model 850, which I stored in the garage after booting out the camry... wife not real happy but tollerant...

Marvin and me... 900,000 Km + and counting, even went on the honeymoon.

Welcome along circus max, your story is how i imagine my mini to be in about ten years time, lotsa miles and there for all the important things.

Mick- The mini is in hibernation out the back with the bugs and dust, under the carport, along with my other clubman bodyshell (rough)
I was going to drive it round the front to have a look at when you came up but the fuel pump is out of action and i just thought, fine be that way and left it down there and went to work on the sprite. Got this week off work so im trying to get mini regoed so i can take it on some runs.

Scott

G'Day,
Thanks for the welcome guys.
Makka, If by Patriarch you mean " = old guy" you are on the money. If you mean " = old guru" no way i'm still learning.... :)
