Re: Temple St cheque handover and Turlough Hill tour

Really disappointed I had to miss this one, after we got the mini back and everything.
Ah well, the photos are nearly as good as being there.

Nice work guys :)

Also a friend sent me this link - The 1960s Mini Coopers as used in The Italian Job have temporarily traded places with the Lord Mayor’s state coach in the Museum of London's City gallery. ...

Re: Seen a Mini?

Saw a 95 Sprite up on Gardiner Street last Saturday,
It was outside the Church and had two huge cushions on the seats so I reckon its owner must have been inside.

Looked in good nick too

I go weeks without seeing anything and then ...

Spotted a racy looking ZV red with black last night, about 11pm zooming off the red cow towards the M50 tollbridge. Looked dreamlike in the hazy blanket of motorway lights.
