What is it with yellow minis these days? I was driving down Barkley Street, Elwood, tonight and spied a yellow mini in a side street near the corner. I don't know what the street was called but it was the one that's parallel to Thackeray St (my mate's street).

I'm just freaked out by the sheer number of yellow minis I see. It's pretty much the most common colour as far as I can see.

that would have been my mate angus, he lives in the patch but he was coming over to my house (elwood)
this look familiar?

I didn't think it was the same one that i saw at Swinburne... but maybe it was. So you live in Pozieres Avenue? My mate lives on the corner of Barkley and Thackeray Streets and my Grandma used to live in Pozieres Avenue also. How come i haven't seen that little blue mini around... does it get out much?

Yeah, the one i saw at Swinburne is definitely that one... but i saw a yellow Clubby in Pozieres Avenue that i think was a different one. If Angus was visiting you i doubt he would park that far away... it's a bit of a walk to Glenhuntly Road.

Nah, the stripe would definitely have got my attention... I've seen a little Cooper S a greeny blue colour parked in Centre Road (outside the church near the corner of Nepean Hwy) a few times. Other than that I don't see many round my area.

Yellow mini- Have I seen this round the Langwarrin area?
Blue mini- I'm 90% sure I saw you at autobarn in dandenong about a month ago. Having electrical problems?

All I see is yellow minis round here too. There's a yellow clubby van and a yellow clubby sedan as well.

yeah i was at autobahn dandenong, my flasher can seized up (indicator)
i didnt see any other mini's tho

90hp is a fairly large number if you're talking NA. What are you planning to do to it to achieve this kind of power?

64kw = 85.8hp



My A+ puts out 63hp (47kw) and that has been worked a bit.

yeah i remember seeing a yellow clubby recently, looked nice.
what kind of a+ you got molina?
im thinking of boring it to 1340, do some head work and cams, get my hif44 jetted. 90hp should be within reach right? i mean minisport sell 90hp kits and thats just ex,carb needle blah blah, i've already got a stage one kit.
is your dyno reading at the wheels or flywheel?
