Was talking to Macker in On the run there a few hours, he was in Kaz which by the way looks evil as always!

Also I remembered that I didn't see a Mini on the way back from roundwood the other day, it was a Hornet/Elf!

Things you have to resort to, to keep your mini safe :D :D :D

I would say the owner, he or she drives a bus and it is in great condition.

It was parked inside a bus yard where I was the other day but nobody there knew who owned it as the yard is rented out to a new bus company.

At first I thought it was belong to smur89, as they was talking about getting new tyres in Inchicore and this one has new tyres, its the same colour aswell with the same wheels and spotlights but this one is a 01 D and smur89's one is a 00 WX.

Saw a real nice open classic while doing an airport run on Wednesday dropping family off for a flight. Don't think it anyone off here as it was La Roshelle airport in France. Can never work out the reg here so not sure on year either. Ha ha ha.
