Re: Seen a Mini?
spotted two minis on my way to work last night,
one I passed just after the turn off for Inch heading north bound, 01 KK green sportspack with some of the roof gutter trim flapping in the wind, I pulled in infront of you in a white focus and flashed the hazards
the second I saw on the bends near the Tap pub, heading south bound, a green mini with a white roof and bonnet stripes, I see this one most days in both directions and give a flash and/or a wave but never any response, again I'm in my white focus

Re: Seen a Mini?
Spotted a blue cooper with I think it was a white roof with spots today heading north towards Sligo/Donegal. The start of the reg was UEI.
I'd like to thank them most kindly for flashing me in my corolla when I flashed them.
Also spotted a convo of 5 or 6 of ye with the orange estate in the middle a few mins later also heading north.
Hope ye had the craic on the MTM lads and lassies!!

Re: Seen a Mini?
Saw a lovely white 81 clubby with black wheel arches between Loughrea and Athenry last weekend. Very tasty indeed. If you're on the site I was in the 89 Thirty!

@joey, thought that might have been me but looking at the date, unlikely, unless she took herself for a spin into town when I wasn't looking on Friday.

Spotted possibly a grass track type Mini on the back of a pick up truck in Sandyford yesterday evening. It mainly had a red and white colour scheme.
