Gotta feel sorry for the old moke, they must feel so abandoned :lol:

Btw at least they were smart enough when building the clubman to place the speedo etc in front of the driver :wink:

I would have abstained as I have a roundy and 2 1/2 clubbies, no mokes. Seriously not botheredthough - as long as it doesn't have a BMW badge, it's a mini.

Ladies & gentlemen (used sparingly)..

We must remember whether it is a Roundnose, Clubman or a Moke they are all Mini's and are all to be cherished no matter what..

Regail in the knowledge that we have a unique vehicle that in some cases are over 40 years old and by now should have rusted away or been crushed in some wreckers yard.

But because we love this little car so much we spend much time and money to keep them on the road which means we are brothers and sisters with a passion for the Mighty Mini no matter what format they come in...

So Mini lovers, unite as one and lay down your prejudices against the different models and embrace them all....

Ahhhhh, what a great Sunday sermon that was.... :wink:

I just saw the blue dot pattern trim on the seats!!! I've never seen that colour or a whole seat done in the dot pattern cloth before either! I love seeing the different combinations of colours they used. Are you going to re-trim the seats?

I'm not gonna vote. I can't decide.

I have a schmick 1275LS, but i wanna sell it and get a roundie to build a project out of. :?

But DAMN they are a bitch to own... No room for anything. Not a decent radiator. Or a... Anything!!! To put an oil cooler in is suicidal. Then there's NO room!

Clubbies are easier to own, have a good heater (but so do Mini-Matics) And a better dash. If you forgive the abscence of an oil pressure gauge, that is :wink:

I dunno. :(

Clubbies are easier to own you're right.
