Irish Mini Owners Club

I was not a member at the time and only heard about the IMM on the radio by accident. I had a rotten 77 mini in the garden at time so we headed down to the show it really got the mini bug juices going. Been a member since. It was a great show and the team did us proud. Cheers spicooper Agree 100% -...

Wow :shock: So it would well be in the interests of a small town like Bandon to have an event like this - local trade should as petrol stations, restaurants, pubs and shops would make a killing fir the week! Sounds like with the right town behind it (with town council backing) it could very well be ...

What sort of attendances do the IMM's get these days?

Haha i thought you would have forgotten about that by now lol - we weren't lost; we were taking the 'scenic' route

I'll see can i upload my fathers pictures later on this evening - they are not digital unfortunately so i will need to scan them all :) Like said above although it feels like yesterday - since IMM in Bandon i have; Done my leaving cert Trained and qualified as a mechanic Bought a house Finished work...

I was 15 at the last IMM in Bandon - My father brought me down and i bought a centre exit Sportex back box, Courtney 3 spoke steering wheel and a 2nd set of 10'' alloys and tyres for £180 :) Remember it like it was yesterday, my father took a lot of photos that day, and the car that stood out to me ...

Do you subscribe Billy or how did you get it so quick? I just had a scout around the local shops here and no one has it yet.

Maybe its just New Ross - i normally buy Evo Magazine every months also, and a buddy of mine from up North gets it 5 days before it arrives down here

I turned left at the Clonsilla Inn, straight through all the way by Fort Lucan, into Lucan, turn left, and right across by Adamstown towards Baldonnell. Cuts out the toll and the M50/N7 Sunday evening traffic. Billy Yep, i did much the same, but on the way up, the lack of sign posts, and a one way ...

Nice to meet some of you guys today. There were some very nice motors there too 8) . I hope you all remembered to pay the toll bridge :evil: I thought i would be smart and take the lucan turnoff, and run up that way - but someone changed Lucan around a bit since i was up there last :) and i ended u...

Thanks very much Tony was good to meet you too, and i was very impressed with your Mini, the number plates were the first thing that caught my eye - very well done - glad to hear you got the seats sorted too.

Talk to you soon

Thanks

Is there a show or a meet down this way coming up? I'm a yellow belly myself

Just back in the Sunny south east here now myself, although with the weather that was up there today in Clonsilla, i got a lovely shade of red across the back of my neck and my face :) Thanks to everyone that came over to say hello, lovely bunch, and hope to see you all at the next show. Hopefully i...

Really looking forward to this, i hope there will be a couple of Mini's for sale on the day, as i am hoping to purchase soon.

Is there normally a few cars for sale at it?

I see that Tallagh Powder coating do a lot of magazine advetising, i never had dealings with them personally, but heard only good things about them. There is a guy based down in Limerick also, who i got a set of BBS's done with - did a cracking job (excuse the pun :) ) If he isn't too far away, chec...

I have thrown together a few special offers for the show, but if there is anything in particular that you would all like, i can work on getting a group discount on it. Thanks Do you have a product to clean the headlining ?? Previous owner was a smoker. Yep, i will have some All purpose Cleaner whic...

Not yet Stan,

I had planned on calling him tomorrow afternoon when i know better what time i will be able to meet him at.

Don't worry the south-eastern convoy will arrive on time

Hmmm, i'll check the stock room for you

You might all hate me after this as i know BMW aren't recieved well by original Mini fans :) but i got my M3 registered last year, had to pay an extra €315 to get it, but it reads '96-WX-3'

I see the price of putting by a number now has gone up to €1000 in the last budget! Crazy stuff!

I'm heading up from New Ross, probably run up through Enniscorthy and on up that way, have a good idea where i am going if anyone needs to follow.

I actually saw a G-Wagon on the way home this evening - first time i have seen one in years, a coinsidence after reading this today

It was a white one, 01-D-???? in Passing through New Ross heading out Waterford Direction.

Yummy

Thanks for the call today Aidan I'm really looking forward to this now, i haven't been to a Mini meet since the late '90s so i am looking forward to seeing how the scene has changed. I was actually at one of the AGM's in the Clonsilla Inn back in 1997 or 1998, can't remember what year exactly, so wi...

I have owned 4 Minis in the past, and 3 RWD Corolla's. I have driven an Evo 6 but never owned one. I would have to say that a RWD Corolla is similar in a lot of ways to the Mini with regard to handling. Like a Mini, the Corolla gives a deceptive feeling of speed - you might be doing 60mph, but it fe...

Is this purely an autojumble, or would you be interested if we were to put up a stand, we sell polishes, waxes, claybar, tar remover, shampoo, chrome polish, carpet cleaner, the list is endless. I don't mind paying for a trade stand, and making a donation ot the club also. Sure let me know what you ...
