Irish Mini Owners Club

Is the empty shell easy to manhandle?

Sorry to spam here, but what kind of a transmision is this? http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u603/flyingfinn79/vani_raato07_zps46d4d594.jpg I've only seen Billy's 60's automatic. :) some more pics: http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u603/flyingfinn79/vani_raato10_zps0e996472.jpg http://i1324.pho...

Here is a picture of what I got:


Just have to organize the pick up and get working.

Hey Billy, I've also spotted a 60's van in need of some major rebuilding. Have to get back to you if I get it.

I dont know who's camera it was that was used to take this photo http://www.irishminis.ie/Gallery/Events/GlenofAherlowCampingAug07_files/IMOCCIMG0814.jpg , but can I ask for the original picture to be posted on my email address: tommi_jappinen@hotmail.com .. I shall frame it and put it on my wall. I...

I joined the Mini club called Flying Finns which is the biggest club in Finland with few hundred members if im not wrong. About IMM I have to say that there is no way that I will make it there this year. Still have so much going on in the whole relocating stuff. I might have to hook that roofrack of...

Remember the one that I had? Very solid and was good for +130km/h with stuff on the roof, but those old ones with suction cups seems to leave nasty markings on the roof too. Actually I just took it off yesterday morning.

Dont know yet about the IMM. Would be a blast though, but might be too busy with the new jobs etc. I shall give you a heads up if it is to happen for me. I still got my Mini on Irish plates too.

I would first check the earth cables from the right indicator bulbs?

Yup, I drove the van and the greyhounds here also!

Yes I am back in Finland already. I came here on 5th of December. I did actually see you at Mallow on 29th of November, but you were driving some happy couple off from the church. Mini was waiting for me in the garage, but the battery had already gone dead before it was put inside. The temperature n...

Was my membership valid until end of this year also? Could renew it so I might have a chance of joining you next summer.

We will come with Billy too, but just for a day trip as the dogs still need taken care of!

Just heard from Finland that its been something like +28c for weeks now. But on the night between tuesday-wednesday it had "rained" ice particles sizing from 2cm to 5cm in diameter!! You wouldnt want to leave your old banger outside.. :D This would be some kind of a freak weather dont you ...

We wished that we could have been there, but this damn birdflu just didnt give away!

The meeting was held at Haapamaki in Finland and here are some photos if someone would be interested:

Here is a nice site for getting ready to next years IMOC camping weekend! http://www.mikenchell.com/forums/index.php From there you can find lots of information how to build your very own teardrop camper for next summer. They should be actually pullable with mini as they weigh around 250-300.00 kg, ...

Spotted red 1997 sportspack in Dublin center yesterday and also an 93is blue sportspack..

cheers, mates!

If anyone is heading to IMM with a Bini and is taking the ferry to France then I have a tip for you.. There is a exclusive new Mini store at Antwerpen city center that is located just as a ordinary clothes store on the heart of the city and sells new Minis only. No other BMWs on site and they told m...

Sorry, but im a bit of a noobie with the mini tuning.. I was just wondering if they would be a bargain or not and was thinking of couple of extra hp. along the way.

I guess I will still think about it before buying.. Stage 3 would be nice too, but there would be other carbs for that too, right?

was thinking of getting the manifold from fleabay if I would purchase these.. thanks for the quick replys, btw!
