How does one cure this crippling Mini affliction ? It struck me again yesterday. This little yellow devil followed me home and being a softie at heart, I couldn't send it back.







From what I have been able to research, it started life as a UK 850 but has evolved into a pseudo GT, sporting 13" Superlites fitted with Pirelli P5000's, 1275 engine utilising 1-3/4" SU and extractors, SAAS seats, remote central locking and immobiliser, remote bonnet release, 33 litre fuel tank, and completed with a decent sound system.

It must be cute, the wife hasn't told me I can't keep it .

Death.

No more Minis!......For now.

Trick is not to feed the strays, they will keep coming back if you do. Looks pretty nice however.

My greatest fear in life is that when I die my wife will sell my Mini and tools for the price I told her I paid for them!

Actually it's just a mobile generator to power all those lights

It easy to cure, start giving them away to the poor. You'll feel better, and if you pick me so will I.

Nice looking car. I'll keep dreaming...... and saying to myself "one day."

Air thats not as hot as it could be.

Agree on the MINI boot badge. My son has already found the right one for it, just have to pay for it. Yes, they are vents on the gaurd and are clear underneath and there has been no problem with muck being thrown up through them so I was told. Will wait and see however, that is if we ever get rain again.

Thanks for the reply, I thought maybe there was a motor conversion under there and something needed cooling

Nice, I love the colour.

Pete.

See, I live on the Hunter coast, & when you bring it down, cause you really want to break your addiction and are gonna give it to me you'll no doubt encounter rain.

It's a sign!!!!

Who could say no to that! It's a beast.

What is really cool on a Mini is the remote central locking complete with beep beep
