It wasn't me anyway, mine is in my garage needing a bit of work! You don't see many on the road these days, but at one time there was 6 or 8 GT's in the club

Hey, that was my mini. I saw yours when I came out to go home.
I'm a postgrad in the Chemistry department there.

My mini's not a original GT, its a 79 and i've put my irish plates on since friday. I brought it in from the UK a couple of weeks ago.

You mini was very nice man, loved the door cards matching the checkered roof 8)

Hope to see you around maynooth for the year so.

Rob

Spotted a black Mini (from ther back) in the Uni Carpark when exiting Aldi. Guess it was Backfire's. Looks good in the Photo's. Anyway maybe we should arrange a MIM (Minis in Maynooth) sometime. If we wait for FastIan to get his GT on the road, there could be a good turnout.
