My greatest fear in life is that when I die my wife will sell my Mini and tools for the price I told her I paid for them!

I purchased my Clubman Van (restored) from a chap at Ewingdale last August &
drove it 700klms back to Maitland.
His name is Ray Chandler & he has 2 Cooper S (one he is building for someone else).
Very nice guy & knows how to build a mini engine.

There is a few of us in the gold coast. With the tugun bypass it's not too far away.

Damn wish wed got in contact a year ago ive had minis in Byron for a few years. I even lived in Ewingsdale. I loved Ray's van it was awesome hes helped me out so many times over the years a top bloke.

Thants a shame Blue Bird, your not moving back are you. It sounds
like there might be one or two mini people in the area if any one is
passing through it would be good to meet up. If anyone thinks of
someone let me know.

Thanks Miniman, It,s looking better & better with out touches to it-----will soon have
LCB,s, twin S.U,s, full hood lining ,etc.
I posted my tool kit up to him before we flew up but Ray was slightly miffed that I
thought we might need it.
The van (Chardie we call it because of the colour) I think was his wifes & after 10
years she would,nt stay to watch it drive off.
690 klms trouble free driving to Maitland makes me laugh when "Sunday Driver Mini
Owners " get excited about a 50 klm Club Run.
I,ve been driving them since 1963.

yeah sweet, Ray is good in that he is very anal about his repairs/maintenance,,, wish more people were like him & yeah his missus really didn`t want it gone, but hey? you got a bargain i reckon,.. Absolutely lovely little van,,, it was almost iconic parked up at the lighthouse where she worked

cheers
Matt
