Really interesting to hear the weath of knowledge, ideas and help on the ausmini site, thanks.

From about 18 years ago starting from a mini moke (my 1st car) a few other various minis briefly after ( and all the money I had ) after an absence of 15 years [b]I am now back in the game [/b]

I now love my beautiful 1968 Mk1 Morris Cooper S and 1963 Morris 850. Both of these cars were purchased in QLD and in an individual 1 day roadtrip style purchase with my girlfriend were both driven back to Sydney.

The smile is back

Thanks guys for the warm welcome, I now feel part of the ausmini club.

As my all time favourite dream car I am somewhat ashamed to admit that I selfishly drove the Cooper S all the way from Brisbane and I was so petrified of damage that it now resides in a carcoon (humidity controlled storage bubble) - i know - iknow :oops:

However the 850 will get the treatment soon as I wear holes in the carpet and John's patience at Mini King.

I promise to post pics soon.
