Re: Seen a Mini?
When driving from Dublin to Wexford the weekend before last in my mini, I was flashed at by a car behind and gestured at to pull in (that's cutting a long story short -- actually the poor man was following us for ages, trying to get our attention) -- I, of course, was sure there was something wrong with the car and was imagining flames coming out of it. but actually he was the original owner of my car! He & his wife had owned it in 1990, and sold it a couple of years later when they had twin babies. he had the twins with him -- they are about ten now, so all three of them had a quick sit in the car and a look around it.
It was so nice to meet them, and I think it was nice for the former owner to see the car again still driving around and in good condition!

Re: Seen a Mini?
John and Fiona Brady used to be the club. John bought Fiona a Sidewalk or Studio2 (I think) when they got married. They kept it for a few years until a pair of twins turned up. IT might have been them that followed you. DaveC might be able to confirm.

Re: Seen a Mini?
You have me thinking there, but I think that was a 1996 Mini, and I don't think their twins would be 10 yet.
Helen has a Mini Thirty which I don't think John or Fiona had

Re: Seen a Mini?
I do indeed have a mini 30. The previous owners bought it in 1989 & registered it in early 1990. I think they were based around Wexford?

Re: Seen a Mini?
Was doing a wedding today in Carrignavar, Co. Cork and spotted a very nice white/black Mini with blue number plates with an IMOC club sticker on the windscreen. I got chatting to the owner and gave him one of our new club cards.

Re: Seen a Mini?
Ya Pat, Woody has got a club business card produced which will be distributed out to all members so you can pass them on when you find someone with a Mini in your area. Don't have exact details but I'm sure they should be going out soon.plimerick wrote:club cards>????Billy wrote:Was doing a wedding today in Carrignavar, Co.

Re: Seen a Mini?
Spotted a very unusual colour '94 D Mini coming towards Mallow from the Killarney direction this morning. It was a greyish colour with a white rood, not unlike Mike Dennehy's Cooper S but obviously 30 years newer.

Don't mind the sunvisor. If you look at the door, you'll see it's got external hinges but has wind-up windows!!
