| Post subject: | Donna |
I'm looking at the possibility of buying "Donna" from 4myego (Steve). Apparently she is known around Sydney. He's asking around $8K. I don't know a lot about the car, but it looks good and Steve's description sounds good also. If I did buy her, I'd have a go at driving the 1400km trip back home to Bundaberg. Not an easy trip for a 40 year old car - but there are some mini-nuts from Victoria that are driving minis up to the Mini Muster in Brisbane in September - that's far longer than a 1400km trip. Can anyone give some opinions on "Donna"? |

wow there is a blast from the past. I loved that car. Havent seen it for ages. IMHO, if your spending that much on a car, you should extend yourself the additional $800 to get it shipped. 1400kms of highway driving and rocks and chips and stones... Would be such a shame for it to be damaged..... |

I can vouch for that car too - if its in the same condition as it was when it left Donna's hands its as new. Mike |

No need, just add some tape like these guys: http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/19/2-gu ... trip-ever/

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa hahahahaha... the funniest thing about that was when it came out, Duc was out on one of our runs and decided Trevor Moke needed the blue tape treatment. 3 years later and the moke STILL has the blue tape on. Its only here and there in patches, but man that stuff doesnt come off..!!!!
