Hi all, recently bought a clubman GT in gambier turquoise, this is the first aus mini that I have owned so am still a bit green with the finer points etc.
I am using the car as a daily driver and intend to collect all the missing parts over time and eventually strip down and re build to standard spec.
I was logged onto the GT spot which seemed to dissapear a couple of weeks ago :?
Cheers Paul.

This was the car as it was when collected.

My favourite Clubby GT colour! 8)
Not that I drive one- I wrecked a bent GT years ago to give my `Matic some balls.
Maybe I should have kept it and straightened it out... :cry:

I think the GT Spot has chosen not to renew the anual hosting fee, sadly.

Nice coloured GT

Just PM Chopchop (one word). I think that he's here fairly regularly.

Welcome to this good "Down-under" site Paul. Your car looks cleaner here than it does when parked outside your work. You must get your road sealed !! :wink:
