Irish Mini Owners Club

No way man im guessing there was a mixture of feelings telling your limbs to do different things when that happened

Ill see how the wind blows when im home in Ireland...So how many of you went in head first when buying your first mini????

ye hopefully ill be an owner soon enough....not sure to buy a relative clean car for my first mini or go for one in bitz and teach myself the ins and outs of them from day 1.... decisions decisions!!!!

Im not a paid up member yet will be sorting that soon...

I dont even have a mini in parts at the min but would like to turn up on one of your days out to meet and greet

Is it ok to turn up in my van............Ill park it the other side of the carpark to the mini's!!!!!!!
