Hi all.

Had a lovely weekend away at Dubbo Zoo feeding the animals and the like.

Stopped off at Bathurst on the way there and on the way back for a few pics...

...my first ever visit - WOW - how steep is that track at the top? that just blew my mind how scary that would be at speed, not to mention for 2 or 3 hours of racing, lap after lap.

There was a hillclimb on Saturday, so we could only go on the lower part, but stopped back off on the way back through on Monday and did a full lap.

hello there in the carpark at the zoo on Monday morning!!

AShit Simon - we were in Wellington Monday !!!!

Haha - good to see i got spotted - did you see the little electric buggies they had at the zoo? - we thought of hiring one then took a look at the mini and decided that they were much the same size so saved ourselves $65 and stayed in the car!

Also spotted a mini on the way home.

Can't quite remember where - think it was somewhere between Orange & Bathurst (or maybe between Bathurst and Lithgow)

Passed it at speed and gave a quick wave - think it was a light blue van or estate. Hello to whoever that was if they're on here...

Had a slight drama on the way to Lithgow - indicated back in after overtaking and my left indicators stayed on even after switching them off!

Had to pull over and kill the ignition and it was OK again when I re-started. Mystery - my first real electrical problem with this mini, hope there's not more to come!!!

gaaa!! that's when we were there - toured the caves at 12:30 and had lunch then played around at the park in the main drag till 4!!

I was wishing I had an ausmini business card to stick under your wiper weevil, but obviously I didn't need one! I saw a light blue mini K in Dubbo on Monday arvo too

Ayeeee, a canny scotsman.

I'm fairly certain it was your car I was checking out at MDU in the carpark, very nice.

That blue clubby estate van - if it has a orangey - yellowish stripe or garnish along the side, then it lives in Lithgow. I see it regularly when ever i go to Lithgow, mostly parked at a house where it obviously lives.
