Irish Mini Owners Club

I found out recently that you're average motorfactors can get you Just about anything you want at a couple of days notice. We got loads of stuff from artane autos at grat prices.

My Mini wont be ready on time so I'm pulling out. Hopefully soemone will take my place as it would be a shame to let it goto waste.

Just a bump, We've spent Just over €2000 on visas and car parts (car is being donated to charity at the end of the event and we really need help with sponsorship. Have a look through our website in my sig and look for our team "joxer goes to mongolia" on the main mongol rally website http:...

Posted entry yesterday!!!

The cars still being built but Im working like a madman to get it done in time.

Ive heard of people cleaning out engines with White spirit Im not sure if its just taking the mick. Id be very concerned as to how you would get all the spirits out prior to refilling the engine with standard oil.

This summer 2007 myself and my good friend Eoin are taking My 1986 Mini on the Mongol Rally!! We need to raise £1000 for charity and so we are looking for Sponsors and your generous donations. If you know or run any buisness that would like to sponsor us and get their company logo displayed on our c...

Whadda ya mean its not real?

Whats an average real lap of mondello? The guy in the game did it in 59 secs....

I just got Poly bushes for my lower arms and they had metal inserts. Id imagine what Merlin said about them being crushed otherwise to be true.

God, ones post count and lenght of being a club member doesnt make everything they say beyond reproach when they make incorrect sweeping generalisations. Back to the subject at hand, Hondas are the most reliable engine builders in the world and they make as near to "bullit proof" cars as y...

mini magazine had a spread on doing this in a back issue I think I have at home. I'll scan it over teh w/e for ya.

I cannot stress how worthwhile lableing, photographing and bagging in groups realy is. I have boxes of stuff and boxes of bolts and its a nightmare to put anything back as I have through trawl through everything agan for the millionth time!!

I'm hoping to have my Picadilly on the road for the M2M.

My build diary is on miniresource, here: http://www.miniresource.com/forums/inde ... ntry363071

I really do not know if Ill make that but if one doesnt set tangible deadlines I'll never get done..

Oh, and dont get it fixed wothout going through insurance or its all out of your own pocket.

You need to report it to your insurance company and give them the numberplate and the details of the report to the guards (who took the statement and when etc) and let them chase it up. This is the case even if you only have 3rd party cover. The insurance companies have a lot more clout then you do.

m2m2007 An enduring classic

m2m2007 500 miles of classic endurance

m2m2007 The 500 job

m2m2007 the classic job

Thats brilliant, I will now set may 2007 as my "gotta have the thing built by then" Date


Well done on getting it pushed through, Hopefully, if this run is sucessfull, some more Classic mini endurance runs will start being organised (weather by the IMOC or elsewhere).

Has there been any further discussion regarding the proposed m2m 500 one day, classic only, endurance run?

If its newly purchased dont fiddle with anything, bring it back and get them to fix it.

That stuff was on sale in rolls in lidl a while b ack...

Mini magazine had a full tech artical with pics a month or two back. Order a back issue from the.

I Updated my e-mail address to one I check more often and doesnt go dorment like hotmail :-)

Clean this stuff of the thread. Its not serving anone to batter it out.

Thats not cool at all. Negative experiences shoud allowed to be expressed as much as posative ones. You're doing a disservice to the mini community by not allowing someone to voice bad experiences with a trader or mechanic.

Its cheapest im my experience to take a spin up to woods motors up north. Being from cork thats a bit far. I found Huddersfield spares to ship very cheaply but their stage 1 kit isnt very good. There are companies in the south but like everything here its still cheaper to order from abroad.
