Hi all

After my recent request for a selector fork I had a few replies which has led to me finding what should be a good useable item.

One of the respondents though needs a special mention. Lillee contacted me and said he had a couple that he didn't want to part with, but would if my need was great enough. Now I don't know him apart from seeing his posts from time to time on here, so feel his offer is worthy of a big thank you.

It is the responses I got that make this forum and the mini community in general a pleasure to be part of.

Well done everyone :D :D :D :D :D

Cheers
Steve

yeah the mini community seems fairly well united all over the world. like most communities there is the odd spat and argument which can lead to big changes.

HEY... nothing wrong with dubbers... :)

It amazes me some peoples generosity on here sometimes.Besser invited me over to check out my mini and then spent about 3 or 4 long nights working on it with me after work, at his place, with his tools, in his driveway. WHAT A CHAMP. People like this have renewed my faith in the human race as most of the time I just think everyone else is out to screw me over.

good on ya lilee!

Have to agree whole heartedly with you Steve.

Since posting up my problems I've had an amazing response not only on the forum but through others offering help via PM.

I especially want to thank Mick (SooperDooperCooperEngineering) for coming over the other day and offering up a bunch of advice and help to try to get me going again. TOP BLOKE!

Also Scott from Ballistic - thanks for your help so far mate!!!

It's people like Scott, Mick and the countless others (could make a very long list) on here who keep this thing going. I guess it's all about the type of people that the mighty mini attracts to it.

Good one Steve!!!
BC.

I agree totally, I am amazed at the generosity and kindness of people on here. The best thing is it really is contagious.
