Hey Mac,

How has you car been over the last week?

Hi MAC, What you are describing is exactly what happened to my 1980 Austin HL auto, I did everything to get her sorted with no joy, oil changes didnt make any difference, a leak I got sorted made no difference... - I'm sorry to say it but Your gearbox seems to be on the way out - parts for auto gear...

I just have a word of warning for Mini owners, if you are getting a respray PLEASE make sure you have a club member recommend someone, I have my car back 3 months now, it was been resprayed by a "mini expert", the respray took 8 weeks, panels that had been said to be replaced are now rusti...

I saw a 79 clubman in Waterford yesterday, Looked like Maix's car ?? Maybe it was ?? I was a bit away from it though.

:lol: haven't won the lotto, I may need to rob a bank as funds are getting low, I am using the car every day though, so I just want to have her looking the part, over the next 3 years the plan was, exterior, interior, engine .... (While using her daily) I am well ahead of my 3 year deadline :lol: I ...

Thanks Dave.

Here is an updated picture of my Mini ......... http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa212/Starrywalsh/100_0096.jpg http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa212/Starrywalsh/100_0098.jpg http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa212/Starrywalsh/100_0104.jpg I would highly recommend Smootha Ride Kits available f...

I am going to have a look at that now, I was wondering why I couldnt find him.

Firstly, I am not narrow minded, thank you, Just to say Billys quote from me from the other site has no mention of this club. And my preference is also for the classic mini, but am looking into newer mini's........... I was re-directed to MiniResource by "1275gt" after putting a picture of...

And here is what I said on this club on the 1th Jan - "I'll have to join the club for this year Billy then hopefully I can get out on some runs Mini66 I would ask some of the more experienced club members here to recommend someone to work on your friends Mini, they seem to have an amazing knowl...

I am not sure about the replacement car Womble, but Gerard is very accomadating and I'm sure you could ask?

Billy everyone has a "preference" I know that, I didn't realise there was conflict, as I said above, Preferance is not roaring out a car window at someone. I was under the impression by some of the photo's on this site that it was a mixed club, thats why I am here, no reference was made to...

Oh I just noticed Kerryminigringos garage is a "Bini free area"

It was a Navy Blue 89 D Sportpack style mini. I never realised there was conflict between classic and modern

We should change the name of this Tread to "Starrywalsh not welcome tread"

Hi 66mini, I have the smootha ride kit fitted, Minisport.com do 2 types (sportpack and non sportpack), the suspension is fully adjustable, and the ride is alot smoother, its great, you need a special compression tool if you fit it yourself, I can recommend a good mini expert besed in the SE if neede...

Hiberinan also insure older cars, my Austin will be 28 in November, I am insured on it as a daily driver, you get free breakdown cover too, something I have never had to use.

Hi womble,

I now use O'Learys in Ballingcollic in Cork, I travel from waterford, you would have 25 miles less to go then me. I can highly recommend this garage.

I'll have to join the club for this year Billy then hopefully I can get out on some runs

Mini66 I would ask some of the more experienced club members here to recommend someone to work on your friends Mini, they seem to have an amazing knowledge of everything to do with Mini's

here she is, not looking to bad, no thanks to the previously mentioned "mini expert"

Hi womble, I am happy with the work that was done, however there was alot promised that was not done, some silly annoying things to like the old badges were put back on after the respray and take away from the look :cry: I have ordered smoother ride kit and some other parts too from the net, and wil...
