Hi Guys,

Well last year I sold my 71 S to a really nice guy in Brisbane, at the time I was living in a remote location so financially not viable enough to warrant keeping it in storage. I moved back to the mainland 9 months ago, brought a Lexus IS, found it had no passion etc, so today I just pulled the trigger on one of the last 2010 JCW Works S from Brisbane Mini in British Racing Green, its the one in the showroom. Very excited it will be shipped early in Jan once I have had it tinted and the wheels powdercoated Black. I haven't owned a new model, I still miss my old Mini, my friend helped me alot to rebuild the engine and did a excellent job, I would have looked at another older one, but I need aircon in Cairns! lol
I agree with people that nothing evokes a real passion like a Mini or vintage car, and many cars just dont give you that, I just hope I selected the right car, I haven't even driven one yet!lol lol
So Steve, I will be in touch, I look forward to many Mini runs again in Cairns.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Andre & Fiona
