New to mini's and this site Hello all
Hey all, My name is Danny
Im originally from Dublin but now living in Waterford(In Holland working the past couple few months)
Ive signed on here because im about to enter the world of mini's.
Ive always had a soft spot for them(like most I suppose) but am now thinking of buying my first mini
Ive a selection of mini mags dating back years but(dont know why) never bought one.
Im like opel/vauxhalls and have a project or two on the go but as the recession kicked in all grinded to a halt.
Ive a small garage that can only fit one project at a time which is pants in the winter months...anyway im thinking these points are pros to joining the mini family as ill have more space and mini parts buy and large seem to be reasonable enough to buy...Another pro is the other half loves them so am hopping she will get involved rather than throwing me that dirty look when im heading out the door to the garage
Unfortunately welding is one skill i havnt got round to picking up yet(may be a problem in the world of mini's
Anyway sorry for the rant just thought id say hello before I have a quick scout round the site
Cheers Danny
