This lovely original Mini has been parked in a local car park for the last few weeks, it's always parked nose first so can't get a front photo..... Must leave them a Club card

spotted somebody I thought I had met through the minis in Tesco Bray the other day only it wasn't him,
just by chance this guy had only just bought himself a mini, Coincidence or what!!

His name is Adam and he had just picked up his mini Mayfair that day!
I gave him a card and a few names if he needed parts or servicing done,

might see him around these parts quite soon!

just incase your read this Adam, Hello and welcome to the forum!
