Where abouts in Sydney are you ???

Its not a big job but many of todays younger mechanics have little or no experience with mini and their unique suspension.

There a number of good mini mechanics dispersed all over Sydney so tell us your location and we will point you somewhere.

Okay you have two very good choices

The first one is St George Steering Centre - you have to check the address and phone number in the white pages but he is the canturbury area. Its run by a former racing driver called John Leffler who was at one time one of Australia's top mini drivers. He went on to become a CAMS gold star winner in formula 5000. He is very good.

The second choice is the Mini King in Narellan. Its run by a man called John Smidtt who has been around minis since the early days of minis. Again you have to check the number in the phone book as I am in rural NSW and dont have Sydney phone books.

Mike, Leffo's still going strong, but he's a one man operation these days, and his workshop is full.
