Irish Mini Owners Club

ive made some enquires into pricing and wether it will be possible to host a track day and im waiting for a reply in the next few days i know im not a member of the club so before i get a nasty email let me just clarify that not once have i mentioned the name of the club and i do intend on becoming ...

seen a green sportspack parked near the friary and the wee house pub in dundalk at bout 3 today

i hav two doors just startin to rust at the bottoms. Is there anyone round that reskins doors or swaps doors for ones that need reskining and if so how much does it usually cost?
There mk 3 doors of a sidewalk

i thought it was pretty dam good! Even managed to fit my mini into my personal essay:p

kerryminigringo that was prob my cooper ya seen though its a 00 red with white roof nd stripes. Its almost always there out front of the old louth hosp

cool ill hav ta take u up on that ill be up again im sure since me girl lives bout 500m away from ya beside clermont manor!

was walkin down wallaces road (i think thats wat its called) in blackrock, louth and seen a grey minivan and a yellow shell with the front cut off it sittin outside a house. anyone on here own it?

ohhh right. I sent in those pics last year. Thats great so i hav to get both mags this month! My mpi is on the back of the new minispares catalogue too

yea i could hav used it for me retro car!

what?? I did? Im on the back cover too! Which pic is on page 32?

legondary! Mine is too!! Its two across from it to the right. The one from low down lookin up at the red mpi

i dunno if u want a huge set up or not but i have a fairly decent one in my mpi. i have a really good alpine head unit that plugs straight into my ipod. i have 2 small alpine speakers below the dash in home made speaker pods. in the back i have the usual 6 inch speakers only there alpine ones and my...

i tried to find that out but i couldn. its an international circuit so i presume its between 15-20 on the main straight and 12-15 everyehere else

Just had confirmation from the track management that there will be car track days! im over the moon! its only 20 min from my house!!!! oh and the track is 8 metres wide and 1200 m long as i said. to put that into perspective kartworld is only 7 metres wide and 800 m long it also has a full pitlane w...

if anyone has driven down the collon dunleer road in the past few months you will have noticed a big construction job goin on. shortly after u turn off the ardee road you can see a fairly big grey industrial building. i thought that it was a new council building of some sort but i just found out tod...

it really all depends on price. like when u look at people like carbon weasel its insane the amount of money they look for. like doorcards even are expensive. sayin that i could be persuaded into buyin a bonnet, exposed weave doorcards and a double skin boot if they were good enough and the price wa...

theres transits all over donedeal for 2-3 grand for 2001-03 models. problem with the royal mail ldv things is they look like a pile of shite. that wouldn bother me but my mum would run me from the place if i parked it outside! as for the weight the long wheelbase models are around 2 tonne. my autote...

if i get the van im not the only person who would be towing with one. at the moment there are 3 other people with vans towing autotest cars. one transit and two Mercedes sprinters (one of which has a nova in it and that is impressive!) the vans are kitted out properly with straps to hold the cars do...

generally people dont steal autotest cars. Its trailers nd tools they steal. A trailer is much less secure than a van. Also u can fit much more tools, tyres and spare parts. It keeps the car clean. It means u can drive at 120kph instead of bein restricted to 80. I wouldn hav to do a test. It also sa...

actually i do mean mm. I mean thar the back doors are 15 cm wider than a standard mini and id the mini was sittin on the floor it wouod have 60 cm of space above it

i did a bit of research and i reckon a mini could fit into a mk6 transit long wheelbase medium roof. The door has 150 mm clearance and the floor to roof inside has 600mm clearance. Which should cover the arches problem

god that would have looked funny! Its still the security thing im goin for. Havin the car and tools locked away in a van that doesn look conspicious

yes but it kinda defeats the security aspect. The other vans ive seen have ramps up over the arches and storage underneath

i dunno. Id say a medium roof one would fit it. Ill hav to do more research. It works out far cheaper to sell the trailer buy a van and run it for 3 years than it would just to put me as a named driver on the jeep for 3 years. I did! Third in class! We ended up on the same points but according to pa...

im half thinkin about gettin a van to cart my autotest car and all the associated gear and parts around in. i know a mercedes sprinter will and a transit will too. is there any others anyone has seen around?
