I tried a few years ago , they said they could send to Aust but stuffed up the credit card order 3 times (first they said it was a false number , then they said it was the correct number but expired and then they lost the number and asked me to resend the order :roll: ) , hopefully they have improved by now , they seem to have some good gear for reasonable prices .

I think you will find that Tony Cullin of Minisport is the minispeed agent in Australia. He carries a very good stock range.

Air post, poor exchange rates and customs levies just about take away any advantage of dealing with Minispeed UK.

edit note - meant minispeed - not minispares

Yep, i have been into mini speed, nice enough, but one thing to be aware of with UK mini companies....they don't care, your just another number.... Seriously when i went into the Shop in the UK they were very much serve then next please even though there wasn't anyone in the store..... This happened at all the places i went to. Australia has a good business ethic when it come to mini's, people that love mini's work at those busniesses.
I guess what i am trying to say is, yes, they were good when i dealt with them, both in store and over the net, BUT, they like the rest of the UK stores will treat you just like anyone else, so if something goes awry, you'll be just another number...
Hope this helps

Cheers
Aaron

Got some stuff from them last year, they were ok but as Aaron said you are just the next customer, did take a couple of goes with the credit card number :D ended up having to do a couple of emails to sort it but was ok

Andbat and I went in there last weekend and as AAron said no of the mini places really bother over here, they just want the sale then next please. Its great in oz you can go to a mini place and have a good yarn about minis and stuff, way more friendly.
What is it you are after? I may be able to get it for you and put it in the post depending on the size of it.
