I think I seen a V-tec Mini in Shannon :lol: It caught my eye as I pulled into Shannon shopping centre, I never seen it around before but it looked freshly painted so it could just been put on the road. It has a proper dash, full flipfront (which didn't really fit right!) with no bumper, and a full roll cage. It also had a badge saying Mini1600!

Hi Boys and Girls!

Been living in the States (Virginia - the other one that is) for the last 5 months and in total I have seen 2Minis :cry: both UK exports.
Looked into buying one here as I now have the luxury of a huge double garage and nothing worth putting in it(the wife`s Honda Pilot doesn`t count), but they go for HUGE money here! So old Homer is tucked up in north co Dub in the Dad`s garage. He takes him out for a blast every now and then - wave if you see him! Hope you are all enjoying the "summer".
