Irish Mini Owners Club

Bit of a cheat but a spot nonetheless. At cars and coffee yesterday, a lovely clean sportpack owned by a very nice German chap who I got chatting to.

Theres a lovely 93 Maroon Sportpack'd mini Ive spotted a few times in Inchicore over the past 6 months. Gave him a big thumbs up today (as a pedestrian) and then two hours later he rolled past me in the Clubby. If your on here, howerya

Discovered one of the downsides of the BMW bike head conversion is the bike plugs get fouled really badly if Im just using the car for short runs (which i am) so he needs a good trashing on...

Thanks man, still a few things to get him 100% but Im delighted with him so far.

Early last year I realised that I needed to sort Benny out if he was to be ready for the IMM. He's a 40+ year old car (well most of him anyway :mrgreen: ) so he was a little worse for wear underneath so i wanted to sort that out. While I was getting him stripped back I decided that there was a lot o...

Apologies.

Went out for an early morning 'italian tuneup' around the city yesterday. Took a few snaps https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9708889/forum_pics_dont_delete/Benny_Castleforbes.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9708889/forum_pics_dont_delete/Benny_Jervis.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u...

Soz dude they were snapped up lightening quick.

All items now gone. Soz

Doing a spring clean at home here and I've a couple of things lying around that might benefit somebody on here with a project. They are FREE to collect from James Street, Dublin 8. My only criteria is that they aren't to be sold on 2 weeks later. First up, rover mini grille (from our old 98 cooper) ...

Price drop to €125, goin up on the dreaded DoneDeal at the weekend so last chance to snap em up.

Have 2 seats out of the clubman for sale. They are in really good nick, no rips or tears on either, just a bit of wear on the piping of one. Not sure what make they are, but they are a good, well made & solid seat. The come with subframes so they will just bolt straight in. https://dl.dropboxuse...

hey Kriss, what a fantastic project and a lovely looking shell to boot. do you mind me asking what the colour is? also whats the deal in terms of the nct? i'd love to do something similar in the future as I think the days of owning a classic car in a large city are numbered. i used to follow an amer...

Nice to see some young faces talking about mini ownership

FINALLY put some miles on him today. Had a lovely spin down to Waterford and back. Took in some lovely backroads too. He's driving beautifully, the BMW head really is a hoot to drive. The temptation to give it the full shoe is unreal! The interior needs a complete freshen up, new seats, dash etc... ...

well, the white fella has been enjoying hoofing around the city centre for the past few weeks. im still getting used to the different 'characteristics' of the new setup and working out whether any of the new rattles and pops are going to cost me money! https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9708889/for...
