Is it a coincidence that mini and money start with the same letter? 'cause if you have the first you sure better have lots of the other

Re: Seen a Mini?
Seen a Tahiti Blue Mini with a white roof and stripes in Shannon beside Mace. It's a 00-KE-**** but it's been sitting there for a while. I found the owner and said it has'nt moved for a year which is ashame for such a new Mini! She stands him 9.300 which he payed 3 years ago! If anyone is interested I'm sure I can get his number. He wants in the region off two grand which I tought was abit steep for the condishion its in! Photos too come but from just the quick glance I had it needs two A panels, all around the windows are rusted, the doors are on the way out, the sills are'nt too bad but I'l get pictures up soon!

Re: Seen a Mini?
stan, spotted this same mini earlier in this listing. 2g is certainly a bit pricey for the car. i had left one of the club cards under wiper with my own number on it but got no reply, fair play for finding the owner. you were a fair bit out of dublin to find this motor. i only live up the road from this car, so if anyone wants it checked for anything just let me know.

Re: Seen a Mini?
The Grandmother is living in BallyCasey so I'm up there most off the time! I'l give you a pm next time I'm up. The guy who owns it is bang on, but it needs a grands worth off parts never mind the amount off time you need too get it right! If you look the way the Mini is facing walk up the stairs and he is in number 23! Took a way too find him (Half an hour) but I had nothing else too do!

Re: Seen a Mini?
spotted in a shopping mall in chile , last night:
a steel shelled saloon, with tinted glass and 10" alloys. I waited a while for the owner to turn up but it got really cold: i did leave an Irish Minis card under the wiper.-
also of interest might be one of the Mini Clubs here: http://www.clubminimania.cl/
take a look at the "Mendoza 2008" slideshow!
