Spotted a silver LS coming out of Wights Motors in Traraglon with ausmini sticker on the side window, I'm thinking it was minimaxx as he works there but could be someone else.
Sorry no pix as we were going to pick up our new car nextdoor.

Maybe we should get away from these computers and organise a get together.
we had one a few years ago at Autobarn in T/gon, maybe now is a good time as they have a mini on display there. And we might find out who the mystry silver LS owner is.

Thats a great idea moemoke, unforunately i'm still rebuilding the engine in my mini, so i can't drive it yet.
Hey qa50 how did you manage to drive my mini several years ago, also can you tell me any infomation about it that i mighn't know about it before i got it from A & P Electronics two years ago.
I can also say that there are several in mini owners down bairnsdale way for what a bloke told me down there, and a couple mini owners in sale, i also know a lot more.

Cheers
Sav
