looks good john, are you going to turn it into more of a showstopper than grace's? bit of family rivelry there! sure i saw one of those at mini-in-the-pond, has along the bottom of numberplate just said 'its not pink'! :D

[johncaerwys]

Don't know really, what's the feeling with a car like the 30 do u try to do it exactly as it was or just do your own thing. Certainly not pink, (though if it hadn't been oink and me spotted driving it we'd never have joined the club.

Certainly can't afford the sort of money I spent on Grace's and anyway, no idea yet what real condition it's in although it's got 12 months mot

You cant lose with a special edition mini. I would do exacltly what you want to do with it dont listen to everyone who tells you to keep it very boring and original.
You wont enjoy it half as much as you would if you change and fit different things to your own taste. I know some people wont agree with me but i think you should have your mini how you want it not to "keep original to keep the value" because do they keep the value if they are original? hope its a good one mate:)

Oink? Is that a colour? Or is that a new name for Graces mini? lol Only jokin mate. Looks like a smashin mini. Cant wait to see it. :)

oink was freudian slip referring to the pig spotted driving it on Sealand Road.

Why do people put things on Ebay and then go away as soon as they are sold. Can'y pick it up now till next week.

[Siano :)]

thats a pain, and i never said you were a pig when u were spotted driving it lol!! looks like a nice new lil project john sure he/she will become a real beaut when uve finished with him/her!!!

[Deano]

I know y do ebayers do that because if you said you couldnt get there for a week all hell would break lose:)
