What is it with these mini creatures? Once you get one, they seem to follow you around & make you want more?
So I got my WEECAR (1963 850) a couple of years ago. It's in getting interior re-trimmed, should have back in a few days.
Then, decided I needed a project, so got WEEVAN, which is slowly progressing.
Minister for war & finance (Ms Jane) decided she should get in the fun & got herself a MINI Cooper (BMW MINI) just after I got WEECAR.
Ms Jane then decided,about three weeks ago, that she should get a MOKE. I naturally felt it my duty to encourage this notion. We picked up her 1977 Moke last night. Yet to decide what we do with it as Ms Jane can't drive a manual. So she is off for lessons, and if that all turns to poo, I will be doing a bnicho (Auto Conversion).
Unfortunately, in the meantime I will need to ensure MOKE (I have been banned from calling it WEEMOKE) is kept in good order by driving it frequently. It will be tough, but I think I'm up for it.

At least you know where all of yours came from.

Im pretty sure mine were breeding a few years ago, even a friend of mine still has an engine out of one he claims was mine (mini wreck) that I left at his place :shock:

You'll end up selling a few then will have all these random parts you can't sell nor remember where they came from either.

Yes, was hoping if I leave them all alone out the back for a while, they may breed a pick-up & a traveller. :?

I tell you what you get more looks in a moke in winter without a roof than you do in a mini :lol:
