is this a red mini driven by a woman? normally has two kids with her?
if it is i see her almost every morning on my way home from work,

Dustymini, do you by any chance work around belfield/beechhil complex?
i keep seeing a green cooper around the area?
i have flashed it once or twice but (i think) because i'm in a white focus van i dont get any acknowledgement, could this be you?

Met a 1997 red Mini Sportspack on the N3 near Ratoath this afternoon.
Think it was the Glennon lads????
We were both going too fast to notice one another til the last moment.....

I was in my Triumph Dolomite heading up to my folks to collect the Mini.

That would probably be my car as I work for Dublin Bus at Donnybroook so I would be in the area with the Mini from time to time.
Don't be shy next time, give me a wave or a flash!

Hi all of you, seen a gathering of 8 classic MINI s yesterday from around Bremen, Germany at the opening of a friends classic car workshop. One had a sticker on the rear saying : Be a friend of the earth. Drive a green car. And what do you think ?
It was a BRG Cooper.
Cheers

Well spotted Rory!

You should have given us a flash-we had several non Mini drivers flash and wave at us along the route home.
Made us feel very important!!

We were heading over to my folks at Mosney on the way back for a cuppa.

The BRG would have been Darran Hutchenson who was also up at the Mid Ulster mini Day too.
