Irish Mini Owners Club

I see that Kavan is working on the moke in the hope of making it to the MTM,I hope to have the MKII ready but failing that,the 74 auto estate will definately be ready but who else is on a mission to get their car ready for the MTM.I,ve heard that deep in the midlands a marcos is being prepared but then again,thats only a rumour so who else is working away out there.

i am working on my 72 1000auto that i baught from the guys in NI mins she is blue and rusty but should have her ready for that. im also working on a custom mark 3 with a fully mod 1300 a with a coustom twin, twin weber cab job. ill post in this topic when i get more ideas hee.
good look aden.

Looks like MTM will be fully automatic in 2007

I'm hoping to have my Picadilly on the road for the M2M.

My build diary is on miniresource, here: http://www.miniresource.com/forums/inde ... ntry363071

I really do not know if Ill make that but if one doesnt set tangible deadlines I'll never get done..

It's great that everyone is taking the event so seriously and using it as a deadline for projects etc. One thing to keep in mind though, for every car entered, there will be a co-driver/navigator required so everyone should be able to make the trip in some shape or form, even if your own project isn't ready in time.

Does that mean you're looking for a lift in the Marcos Billy ?

Just in case Neil, there's 4 seats in my automatic.

As Ralph Harris said,"Do you think that I,d leave you stranded"

The min,no longer available new in your local showroom.

Hope to get the Hornet on the road ,if not woody needs some engine work.

if your back working on the minis does that mean that the lotus is back in working order.

The mini,no longer available new in your local showroom.

didn't say I was actually working on the minis yet, whats the hurry you know it won't be ready untill the night before no matter when you start working on it.
Hope to spend some time on the Lotus over the Christmas.

If your let ..

Bathroom finished 2pm Christmas eve, now back to the Lotus.

Hi new to all this. I'm hoping to have my 1980 pick up ready but finding it hard to get the time but keeping my fingers crossed.

Welcome aboard, great to hear that there will be another pick-up on the road soon.

Thanks. started to do the small bits but have to wait for the garage in the new house to strip it down.

Good to hear there's another mini pick-up around. What colour is it? Where did it come from? Is it an Irish car? There's not too many around.. I know of one in Dublin, 1 in Cork, and 1 near me in Fermoy.

The clubman estate was dispatched yesterday for a new coat of BL,s finest blaze orange.What I thought was a really sound car only required two sills,a wing and an A panel,complete rear valance and small repairs to the drivers floor,front panel and the passenger wing that had been replaced previously.So much for me thinking it was sound but anyway its well on the road to being finished.

The mini,more than just a brand.

Hi i brought it in from englang about 6 six months ago. Its cream in colour but have notice green, blue and purple. Its needs a complete strip down and then i'll find out what it needs. Ive seen a twin cab twin axle mini pick up in dublin but thats the only one. I'll hopefully have a pic uploaded tomorrow.

KMG, could blaze orange be the same colour as TMG's Droop Snoot Estate? If you wanted to go for a Droop Snoot replica, I'm sure TMG could advise on the availability of the DS unique body panels.

Billy,

Could you please refrain from calling my Drop Nose Clubman Estate a "droop snoot". It's not a Vauxhall . One would have thought that you would have known better.

DNCE's were only ever available in Vermilion Red, Glacier White and Nautilus Blue.

Blaze Orange isn't even close.

Replacement panels are long since NLA.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Drop Nose Clubman Estates, often copied - never equaled.

take one egg half of a mini esatate 2 1/4 of a clubman mix to a past an a drop of Vermilion Red ( could be supsatuted by Glacier White or Nautilus Blue) bake in an irish oven preheted to gas mark 4 for 2-3 hours and presto you have a lovle "droop snoot".

Now Now Every mini needs an owner and TMG you get all the quair ones.

Please please can I hear the concord story.

The mini,more than just a brand.

I think we all know that story, retelling it would only invigorate your lust for a DNCE of your own.
