Hi all

Heading to Adelaide for the first time next month.
What mini work shops and spare part stores should I visit?
Any info would be a great help.

Regards Peter

Have a look at Minisport on South Road in Clovelly Park - always some flashy blingy bits in the showroom and both Andrew and Tony are mostly always accommodating for a workshop tour.

Definitely hire a car and get up to Birdwood - the National Motor Museum - if you haven't already.
Some great roads in our hills too... you may want to keep that car for a couple of days to have some fun!

Cheers
Will

Mini king at Blair Athol is good for a look around in the back yard graveyard, give us a ahoy when your here and we'll catch up for a beer.
