To all the good folk of Ausmini and the mini and moke community in general( :P with the exception of BIAM :lol: )
As of next week Minitopia will have a casual employee.
I would like to make him a fulltime employee.
His nickname on Ausmini is "850man".
His name is David Walker.
He was an employee of NMP when Henry Draper owned the business.
He did his apprenticeship there and worked for many years there untill the NMP was sold and the new owners had a different direction for the business and the employee's.
David has never lost the passion for BMC's finest product and would love to be back permanently working with me on mini's.
I hope that the mini and moke community can help Minitopia increase its work load so Minitopia can employ David fulltime and we dont lose another knowledgeable mini person to the another non-mini related business.

Cheers Scott

David,,, rip down to the pie shop, grab some pies, then shoot down to the pub & grab a slap of Jimmys & hurry the fark up & when you`re back, that grotty gearbox over there needs stripping & cleaning & prepping for rebuild , i`ll be down in Byron surfing for the next few days so have all those minis fixed & ready to go by the time i`m back , OK? :-)

Thats it Mick, Its a U.S.A. financial crisis and some over exploited crap from the media.....it doesn't have any effect on the land of Minitopia :wink: :lol: ....thats why the reserve bank can reduce interest rates again so easily, since they made them jump up so fast in the first place to slow the ecconomy down, it wasnt s'posed to make it almost stop.....
