Well I headed over to canberra to see my Sister for Easter.

I was there for the four day long weekend and didnt see one Mini. I was on the roads quite alot too.

I saw heaps of beetles, Kombis, a few dual cab Kombi Utes, series one landrover, a MG B and a visiting MG A. But still no Minis to be seen.

Comparatively, heaps of Porsche Boxters though. Obviously, the car to have if you are a Federal Public Servant or so it would seem.

I was there over the weekend too for a Renault do, and saw lots of BINIS around town.
I did see a couple of clubbies including the high roof van at Cockington Green (was going to do a spotted, but too late now), but no roundies that I recall.

We were down at the Rond Terraces on Sunday (for any interested locals).

It would have been good to meet up with some of you but I was pretty busy.

Only got to meet up with a good mate from Sydney who was down for the weekend.

Next time I will make an appointment :D
