Is their a thread about dead minis on here at all?
I was thinking something like a list of details (year, make, model maybe chassis, body and compliance plate numbers) followed by a few pics at time of "death". These have to be cars that are truly dead, ie you have taken it to the crushers or cut it up completely, not an old mini in a paddock that someone else could come along and restore.
Is their a want for this type of thread?
And if it dose take off could it be made into a "sticky" type thread either in "mini chat" or in "members gallery" where it can easily be added to but still stays at the top of the page so it's easy to find when someone wants to add to it, seeing as I don't see it getting added to too regularly (at least I hope we aren't finding dead minis on a regular daily basis).

I have only been responsible for the death of two clubmans but I did't keep any details (the memories would hold too much pain) :lol:

So far I have sent off an unknown moke a mini K? van, an unknown Clubby van, 2 P76s and am just about to send off a 76 mini S :cry: I have details and pics of all of them and was able to reuse body parts off at least 3 of them so their deaths weren't in vein.
If the thread kicks off I'll post up all I have.

I have a pic of my mate's 850 I nearly got killed in, back in 1965... :shock:
No way it got resurrected.
Ditto pics of a Clubby S my son had a headon with a Camry in, the only unbent panel was the bootlid.
