Just saw on channel 7 and ad for the bledislow (sp) cup. It was about killing Kiwis or something and had a red roundie on it driving over a kiwi fruit. I think it had 12" mini lites, and black innocenti flares. It looked in rather good condition 8)

The mini van, with the child seat in the back. The guy that owns the blue clubby is one of the engineers. I was pretty sure some had said it was a South African one. My Apologies.

Cheers

It's a 1970 Mini K Van with a MKII 1275 'S' twin 1.25 su's, manifold, 7.5 inch disc's etc etc. it's a little untidy under there at the moment but it is getting there. Good fun to drive, and quite handy too, can cart the dog and the little man around at the same time.

OK, lemme get this straight. You both work at the same place, BOTH own mini's and dont actually know each other??? Seems sorta unusual.

Most mini owners I know will chase each other down to talk about them hehehehe.

With three of ya there, I'm amazed ya havent organised yer own Mafia style parking arrangements hehehehe.
