I live in W.A and was wondering about the mini club in WA, whats the advantage of joining.

I am only on my L plates at the moment so no point joining until I have P's which hopefully is around October .

I just want to meet more mini owners and people that my want to teach me a few things and us me for heavy lift etc Also I wouldn't mind some help down the track with my mini.

Thanks Ian

I used to be a member of the Mini Owners club many many moons ago, but unfortunately I was living in Albany down south at the time. That meant the only time I could really see them was at the "Round The Houses" classic car rally. As a result I left the club and never got around to joining again.

Now I'm living in Perth and close to having my Mini running again I'm thinking about re-joining. I'm sure I will in the near future, it's just a matter of getting out from under my Mini and signing the bits of paper

I would probly go with the Mini owners Club of WA, because I use MiniCraft alot.

Is there a website? What perks and events are there?

Cheers Ian

I don't think they have a web site, but here is their contact Ph 9276 5665

I joined the SDMC a year ago, they are socially oriented & have had some great events and met many mini/moke nuts http://www.sdminiclub.org.au/
It is too far from you, but it gives you an idea.

I intend joining the Mini Car Club too, with an eye to doing some motor sports. The MOA is more into shows & restorations, but the clubs usually extend invitations to the others for most events.

Too many cars, and too little time.

The perks of joining any car club is the community of like minded people you get to know. Those that can say "come round saturday afternoon and i will show you how to do that" or "I have a spare one you can have".

You also get to know people who have been directly or indirectly involved with minis since they first came out in Australia. A lot of us have actually had spanners on every single nut and bolt on a mini over many years and can save you a lot of time and money, by advice, when you need to repair something.

Added to that, clubs give you the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of events that vary from outright competition to social cruises and shows. Its very foolish to have a mini and not be a club member.

The only thing for me is that I can't drive to any events or meetings etc

Where are the events/meets held?

Cheers Ian

you and me both Mike. he he. whens our drag meet going to happen??? lol

I'm a memeber of the mini owners club. problem is i dont get the chance to get to many meets. from what ive heard is that the best thing is the knowledge base. like Ausmini there are a lot of mini enthusiasts out there with a love like all of us for mini's.
my advice is join the club, on L Plates or not. get a parent to drive you to the meets you want to participate in. or drive with ya parent. good driving experience.

You can pick up an application at Minicraft, ontop of the drinks fridge Other than that I'm not too sure. I think I'll pick up a form when I go in there sometime this week.
