spotted a blue 93 cooper in shannon. looking a bit sorry for itself, tyres are flat rust coming through on the sills, a panels and bottom of door. have a lead on who owns it and am trying to contact to find out
what is in store for this car.

then seen a 00 black cooper in shannon today, left card under wiper.

this on top of 2 late entries from shannon to go on mtm, must be something in the water
up here.

Seen a Tahiti Blue Mini with a white roof and stripes in Shannon beside Mace. It's a 00-KE-**** but it's been sitting there for a while. I found the owner and said it has'nt moved for a year which is ashame for such a new Mini! She stands him 9.300 which he payed 3 years ago! If anyone is interested I'm sure I can get his number. He wants in the region off two grand which I tought was abit steep for the condishion its in! Photos too come but from just the quick glance I had it needs two A panels, all around the windows are rusted, the doors are on the way out, the sills are'nt too bad but I'l get pictures up soon!

stan, spotted this same mini earlier in this listing. 2g is certainly a bit pricey for the car. i had left one of the club cards under wiper with my own number on it but got no reply, fair play for finding the owner. you were a fair bit out of dublin to find this motor. i only live up the road from this car, so if anyone wants it checked for anything just let me know.

The Grandmother is living in BallyCasey so I'm up there most off the time! I'l give you a pm next time I'm up. The guy who owns it is bang on, but it needs a grands worth off parts never mind the amount off time you need too get it right! If you look the way the Mini is facing walk up the stairs and he is in number 23! Took a way too find him (Half an hour) but I had nothing else too do!

also of interest might be one of the Mini Clubs here: http://www.clubminimania.cl/
