Austin the Silver & Black mini

Post by maxi »

Well, we made it back from Galway in one piece. Absolutely delighted with the new purchase.
A real credit to Richie for putting together such a well sorted mini. It handles like an absolute dream,
and just wants to rev forever. Took a couple of snaps :mrgreen:
