one man mini club!

Post by minis24se7en »

Came across this, well worth a look. "one man irish mini owners club" (linked below).
Nice little website, for sale section, and some pics of really nice minis. He also says he restores minis and from the pics the work seems to be of a high standard.
Warning though....... do not read the news section if you are easily upset :lol: :lol: :lol:, there are some very strong opinions expressed :shock: .

With a warning like that I went straight to the news section :-) My favourite bit was
[quote"]The “lot” from the IMOC were there huddled up in a corner of the display area being their usual anti social selves/[/quote]

I love the way he doesn't see the irony of the statement being posted on the site of a one man car club. At the end of the day he is entitled to his opinion. He has a nice collection of Minis too.

It's a pity there's no photo of the One Man himself to see which shoulder he has the chip on.

This could be the Autojumble equivalent of "Where's Wally ?"
Maybe a prize of an IMOC polo shirt to the 1st person to spot the OMIMOC.

All uk reg's, copywrite Ray Mullen. Sad that he feels a need to share his opinions, must be lonely.

Guys, the man is entitled to his opinions, the same as everyone else. And as far as I was aware the IMOC Autojumble is open to anyone who wishes to sell or buy Mini items as it will be a benefit to Club members either way.

He's still at it. Check out the Mondello comments (or don't if you're easily offended)
