| Post subject: | Hi from a new guy:) |
G'day, Found this great site a couple of days ago and decided to join. Currently own an 06 bini cooper s checkmate and love it to death. First car was a '63 morris 850 ( at least i think it was a '63 - had the slide across windows and push button starter on the floor.) first brand new car I ever bought was a 76 leyland mini s. I live in Brissy so will be going to the muster in august. Are there any places in Qld like brickworx in SA that specialise in mini conversions/imports/ sales of older minis? - I am seriously thinking of buying an original but am not mechanically great and would like to know of any specialist mechanics preferably northside of Brissy. Any info/advice greatfully accepted I don't pm but would love to chat via email Regards Mike |

elo, i personally hate the stickers on the checkmate, but you seem to have good taste in cars if you've owned minis! i envy that you bought a mini brand new, what i would give to be able to do that 
brickworx is good and can set you up with a late model jap import, which is a nice way to enjoy the classic mini. |

I rang Matt Read out of the blue and introduced myself -- Even though I was disturbing his evening he was most accomadating and gave me heaps of usefull info, He has just about talked me out of buying a rover mini and getting an original that has been well looked after/restored. Thanks Matt and as promised I will look you up at the muster and say G'day. You guys rock , will print out names of those attending muster and try and meet a few of you there. I'll be in a black 06 Cooper S checkmate reg 14SKM but will probably park outside out of respect for a real mini show:) PS. on a previous subject aof mini drivers waving to each other on the road, I have always found that it is more likely to get a "toot" from an original. |
