Location: Sydney - strangely, I am glad of the sight of hills!!
i noticed that there is a guy around the corner (ryde)who has a gold/brown (it was a bit dark) K or deluxe (i think), a moke and another under a cover. been past a few times to see who is there, but no signs of life, except the car in front has had the cover moved a couple of times. looks like he is a truck driver, cos there is a truck out front sometimes. down near putney....anyone?

also at the top of the hill near the church is a clubbie in someones front yard. drive past all the time, but this ones not moving. has panels leaning against the front of it...

i will get to the bottom of this and find out who they are when i get back!

A guy around my corner has a very schmick looking van. Everyone in the club knew of him but didn't actually know him. So I dropped around one day to talk minis, turned out to be a great older guy who couldn't stop talking. Brought out all the receipts and photos for this van.

Be careful mickmini, you might get stuck talking for hours - like I did!

isn't that the whole idea?

the only other reason is to do what JAM did and buy the car off them :shock:

The area where I live (Rockingham) was once infested with Poms,
so there are minis hidden all over the place :D
