Well hello fellow mini enthusiasts,

My name is Ollie and i own a white mini ute. Don't get too excited, its not an origional ute, but its a 75 clubman van conversion. Very fun car. Ive been meaning to join up to ausmini for a while as i already know quite a few people in the mini scene. Its definately helped me learn more about the car. Im a student and i live in Cremorne (Sydney). Ill post up a photo of the ute soon when i find out how to do it. Hope to hear more form everyone, Catchya

Ollie,

Hi Ollie , welcome to ausmini , get some pics of the ute up quick as there are a few people here who would be very interested to see it . Did you convert it yourself ?

FARRK OOOORRRRRRFFFFFF!

Hi to Ollie-mini Ute. I think I saw you in Cremorne last week. We did the mini wave (whatever that is) . Nice mini. I was in the white GT. Just thought I'd say hello to all. Still trying to get a handle on setting up signatures and posting a thumbnail pic, member gallery pics etc etc. All in good time....maybe over Easter while crunching on chocolate eggs.

I drove my new Clubman down from Brisbane couple weeks ago. Bought from Jason who had been chatting here about his car back in November. Well, it (she/he whatever) lives in Manly now but is at the moment getting a reconditioned gearbox over at mini classic plus a few minor but important things like getting the heater working for winter! (Brrr). Hope to catch up with some Sydney minis at end of April for the coast/sydney drive.

cheers,

minichick (eleanor or elle)

Is the pub at Harbord still painted white?? My Uncle managed the place years ago and I have many fond memories of staying over and taking advantage of the nearby beach...Best, Mick

Sup fellas I joined this forum because my dad bought me a Mini Moke 1981 .998
Here are some photos for all of you that are interested here. I turn 18 in august so i have a bit of time to work on it and fix it up a little which im hoping i can do by learning from these forums and getting advice from you guys.
Good to meet you all hope we have some good conversations together

welcome mate, saw your post before that quixckly dissapeared, your
moke is awesomme and looks to me (unexperienced eye mind you)) to be one
of the most original moke i have seen! i have never seen one with a side
entry petrol cap either! get those pics up again in members gallery for all to see!

Another Moke.! Welcome. I am sure this bunch of lunatics will be a great help to you.

Hi Mick...no the Harbord Hilton as we call it is now painted a sort of heritage like sandy beachy colour. Yes, the beach is THE best and the area is quite lovely. I myself lived in Canberra for 6 years while running a business there...lets see...about 10 years ago I returned. Lived all over..Narrabundah,Reid and finally Cook (the wonderful Wybalena Grove). great for cycling and skiing (yah!!!...Yikes!!!)....cheers...will be posting my pics up real soon....keep a look out. I love my new little white car. Yours is a winner...did you get it in canberra?

Sandy colour??? hmmmm Ooooh..Kay The Diggers always took most of the high class clientel and had good bands to get the young groovers in which left the HH with a good bunch of regulars and relatively quiet.

So you lived in Canberra?? that means you can't be all that bad

My Mini is ex-Sydney I believe....I acquired it in Cranberry tho..

Look after that GT....you just don't see all that many around...well worth preserving

It's an ex sydney county council car. I'm keen on an engine conversion, but do not want to spoil this mini. I have already put out the feelers for info on the county council heritage, hope to get heaps of info. I'll try and get a few pics on soon.
