Just passed a 00 navy Mini with an Irishminis sticker on the back window at Fas in Locklinstown. Gave a flash and a beep and got a wave in return :mrgreen:

I would say the 91 Mini seen at the Round O would be the Caffreys Mini,they did MTM in it this year and it was owned by Kieran O Carroll before them so it has been in the Club quite a while.
Real Clubmans have a square nose.Seriously.
