Hi Dave,

Glad to see you around here finally.

As Simon said (hehe) keep the hydro. I love my car with hydro, the ride is really great. Some shocks would make it better as it does tend to lurch under acceleration / braking but for a regular driver, I would never go with a dry car.

Cheers, Nick


Glad to hear you stand by the hydro suspension set up Nick. I have been going to quite some effort to keep my Deluxe rebuild original including hydro setup. Looking forward to having it that way as they are becoming less common it seems....

Hi guys,

Hope you both enjoy your time on the forum. We have a Member's Mini Gallery if you would like to post up some pictures of your ride.

Cheers, Nick

Hi All,
just had my account activated, thanks Nick!

New mini 1275LS owner, but not new to minis. My wife calls it a early mid life crisis seeking my youth again haha.

I'll post some pics up of the new mini in the gallery.

I hope to get lots of good advice from you lot, then one day provide some good mini advice for newbies like me.

project is,
1. rebuild 1275 (12H902UH) and hot it up a little
2. tidy up engine bay
3. replace suspension with new

the body is immaculate, interior great, just the engine and bay let it down.

cheers

Hi everyone
My name is Broderick. I joined a few weeks ago. I live at Werrington County near penrith NSW
I have owned my 1970 mini k for about 7 years and is now looking a bit below average so its time for a rebuild, well at least the engine anyway.
I look forward to talking to some of you for some advice on what to do very soon
Cheers

Hi everyone. I'm Tito. I live in Sydney, and picked up my Mini last weekend. It's a lovely little 69 Morris, which is done up as a Cooper S replica, and has a 1275 motor. I'm 33, and this is my second Mini. I had a 1275GT when I was 18, back in NZ. (yes i'm a Kiwi)
I look forward to picking up lots of info of you all, and hopefully meeting some of you soon. :D
