The Mini was well represented by Classic Car Club members from throughout the South East when they attended the Fenagh Steam Rally, at Fenagh, Co. Carlow today. On hand were Mini Salons, Van, Pick Up, Traveller and a Clubman sporting a 1.6 Honda power unit.

I go weeks without seeing anything and then ...

Spotted a racy looking ZV red with black last night, about 11pm zooming off the red cow towards the M50 tollbridge. Looked dreamlike in the hazy blanket of motorway lights.

Was walking up westland row earlier, and heard this thunderous roar coming up behind me, turned around expecting a huge big Kawasaki or something, and it was a lovely little 91 red cooper. Mister Kona (as he's known on MR)

Nicest sounding mini Ive heard in a long time :mrgreen:

Yep, thats the one.

That Car started life as a Blue Mini 35. She bought it off my da and got it sprayed Burned Orange..... If i remember correctly it has a webasso roof..... The girl who owns it is called Jackie..... Really Really Nice Girl... :wink: Apparently she has put new wheels on it but haven't seen it yet so not sure what ones. Just she was trying to sell the 12 inch revos off it.
