Just a couple of things.
- I was told that there was someone at MDU selling diecast mini models inside the hall. Apparently one was exactly the same as my 850. Anybody know who it was??? They were $35.00.
-I have come across one of those old fashioned roof racks with the four little rubber feet. Problem is I dont have my mini with me to size it up. The idea was to have it powder coated or chromed if it fits. Can some one tell me the dimensions of a mini roof please.
Thanks in advance

They also cause the mini to collect every galah, magpie and other similar birds that ride the current over the car as you approach them.

I already have the racks. They were a freebie. Excellent condition, just an ugly anti rust paint colour.
I really need to know the roof dimensions to know whether to take them home with me or not ???
