Driving back from Rosslare this afternoon via Carrick-on-Suir and Clonmel I spotted 2 Minis. One was a silver clubman estate and the other was a blue Mini advertising a local pet grooming service!!

Saw a BRG cooper sport with webasto sunroof in Blackrock Co.Louth on St Stephens day.It was on an english R plate.Also spotted a bini estate the same day,From the passenger side it looks ok but from the drivers side with the stupid suicide door and the thick pillars it just looks so wrong.This of course is my own personnel opinion.
Real Clubmans have a square nose.Seriously.

Yippeee! That was the Womble you saw Billy, advertising my grooming parlour, yes I know, now people stare at my Mini for all the wrong reasons... and if she heard you calling her blue..she's AMARANTH and doesn't she just know it. Oooo get 'er!

Hopefully we'll see you out on a club run fairly soon.

Kinda related but yesterday I was talking to a local second car dealer and he showed me an Irish-reg (DZN) Morris 1300 2-door. VERY restorable car and possibly for someone who wants something bigger than a Mini but mechanically almost identical. It's in Glanworth Co. Cork about 3 miles from me.

Nice trip home this evening. 98-D Cooper stayed behind me from Liffey Vally until Turning off at the Newcastle Road. Then parked beside a 88-C Powder Blue Mini at the Celbridge 5-Aside and then flashed a 96-D Cooper just as I pulled into my estate. It was too dark to get the colours. Plenty of still using Minis for everyday use.
