Had a guy talkin crap to me last nite at the thursday nite Maccas scence up here, and he mentioned that his grandad has a Mini Clubman S just sittin in his shed on the farm, rusting away. At the time I didnt pay much attention to him as I dont need/want another bloody Mini. But yeah interesting now that I think about it, some 1 could probably pick it up for nothin, no idea bout its condition though.

No worries Steve, will probably see the clown next week, Ill see if he can tell me where it is exactly. There is a red clubman down the road from my place, its on Toogood Rd. Its just been sittin in the garage pused aside for ages. Ill find out what house number it is and let you know. Looks to be just a standard clubman though. Are you lookin for a particular model/shape?

No particular model, be interested in a better than reasonable condition, must be a runner. Steve

To easy, that BRG/white roof Cooper S was for sale there a little while ago, has B/W number plates OLD 067. Its was a genuine S, dam sure it was all matchin numbers. Was a young fella who owned it. Was in better than average condition. But no show stopper. Not sure how good that clubman is on Toogood Rd. You might want to do a drive by and sus it out. Ill get the number of the house today.

That BRG/W S sounds like the one Chris from Holloways Beach owned. It was a nice car, genuine but out of my present price range, unless of course it was real cheap. I'll look for the Clubbie tomorrow.

I havnt had a chance to sus the house number out yet, to busy goin 4 a drive out to Yarrabah. Yes Yarrabah. Not in the Mini though. Bit of an eye opener that place!!! Nice views though. I think its bout house # 174, but headin up Toogood Rd, its on the RHS, Just before you get to Fairview St which has a phone box on the corner. The garage is on the RHS of the house and its just sittin in there covered in dust.

I came across a guy a little while ago driving a BRG/White roof (and stripes I think), round nose up the end of Anderson Rd, Woree. He said he was the manager of Avis car rentals in the CBD, cnr Aplin and Lake st I think. I have seen it parked at Avis a few times. Its in resonable nick. Its not for sale as far as I know though. Ill keep you up to speed on the location of that clubman S to. Might even see this guy 2morrow at the Mundoo Drags.

Pretty sure that clubman on Toogood Rd is at house # 172. Thanks for that other info in the PM. Still no news on the clubman S yet.
