Irish Mini Owners Club

Haha, brilliant cake stephen!! my only concern is that it is pink!!!?? or is that the way the camera took the photo

I am looking to get something done to my minilites. The person who had the mini before me I think they spray painted them and is now flaking. I am thinking of either getting them powder coated white or machined back to the metal. Which would be better, like is there benefits and disadvantages of both?

for those of you that are also into Vespas and Lambrettas, the annual Egg Run was on at the weekend from Bray to Red Cow in aid of Crumlin Childrens Hospital, check out this video on youtube

It was my 30th birthday last weekend and the wife surprised me with this cake and a MacBook Air. What a wife!

Many thanks to minionly for dropping that handle up to my house. Really appreciated. Was able to get it switch over to my handle easily enough, but the bloody pin holding the lock in place was a bit of a pain to get back in place!

Sorry I never got back! Where could I get that off ya?

Good idea will give that ago!!

Would really appreciate if you had one minionly!

Hi paddy,

Been off this for a while! The seller was called all trim. Should be able to find them if you search classic mini seat overs. The picture is of seats in a garden.

Took it apart just now. The locking barrel is ok now. But the button to open has a plastic bit behind it and that's broke in three parts. So would just need the button!! Also when they tried to open the door, where the handle is screwed in has been pulled out so the handle won't fit snug to the door...

Hi, I have had my mini recently attempted to be robbed. Lucky nothing was stolen from it and the only damage done was to the door lock. Its busted and the key won't go into it and lock, neither will the button press in. Will I need to get a whole new handle for the door or is there another way to fi...
