Red 92 KK with a white roof around the corner from my drum in the paddocks, Adamstown. Anybody on here own it?
Hey clubmankey,

Thats my mate Als mini, he bought it there around the time you spotted it.

Dunno if you saw a few days ago another 2 minis parked alongside it one night? 99-D Paul Smith and a 00-WX Blue Sportspack? we were visiting :) Might see the 3 of them there again on NYE

You own that van around the corner? Its ace

Im based out in Tallaght, close to the Kingswood luas stop. Not too far from the Paul Smith i was talking about.

Actually, while im here, might aswell ask about my sightings recently.

used to see a black mini, down airton road in tallaght in the mornings fairly often, havent seen it round since i started driving the mini to work!

Also, saw a blue cooper driving up through Harolds Cross a few weeks ago. The owner of this mini gave me my first mini-wave. Was 4 young lad in it at the time.


Check the My Mini section for a few pics in a minute stan!

Could an admin make this a sticky please? I keep on losing it when the general section gets busy!

Myself and Kenneth Murphy seen a Tahiti blue sportspack with a white and a single centre exit exhaust. If your on the forum your front reg plate is missing and I like the way you use the size of the Mini to your advantage and park it in the middle of the path beside Costa Coffee! :lol:

Hello smur89, the "van" you saw is actually a clubman estate. Feel free to drop round next time you are up. Likewise your mate al.

What headlights are they?

I think there just standard. They were on the car when I got so I'm Pretty certain they are just standard

They look like a HID conversion on them. Very bright light (8000K Id say) and the brightness looks very even across!

Halfords have blue super brilliance bulbs that would make your lights that colour.

Really? I used them before in projectors and they were very poor. Suppose the projectors probably pin the light more so than the non-projectors. I'm assuming there only compatible with a H7 conversion?

And that 94 white mini looks familiar. Think it was my dads at one time.
