I need to be very careful how I word this so as not to possibly offend anyone here.
A mini has recently turned up under covers in a residence not too far from me in what I might describe as an unlikely home for such a vehicle.
I am endeavouring to get a better look at it but would like a description of the recently "missing minis" to give me a bit of a head start.
Dont ask where as I will not say. If it all looks a bit dodgey I am well connected with the boys in blue and will pass on any info.
Not trying to get anyones hopes up but it all looks funny to me.

I hope you have stumbled across them :shock: Alot of people's money, time, effort and more importantly sentimental value have gone into those vehicles.

Good on ya for posting on here. :wink:

Yeah and if you're in melbourne, the pile of car stereos under the tarp are fully legit.

Seriously though, this post could also be construed pretty darkly as well (no offence to you). For instance, the car flogger could hassle the car floggee for a ransom, or just taunting them perhaps.

Sorry if the post is fully legit as well. I just am a cynical goat sometimes.

If you are well connected with the boys in blue...then get em to go and knock on the door...any Mini owner worth their salt would be happy to cooperate :idea:

What state are you posting from? It may help a bit with people who might think of responding

I am considering a delightful little 850 for sale here in sydney or a fantatstic clubman S up in Qld.
Make a decision in the next week but I think I'm leaning toward the 850. The idea of tweeking a little engine like that has amazing appeal.
Either way, both cars are beautifully presented so I'm not overly fussed which way I end up gong.
Bring on the 850 though
