Re: Seen a Mini?
Saw it yesterday (the yellow one)! I wonder how long it's been there, I have never seen it before.
There's a photo of mine over on the last page of the 'floods!' thread, to save you having to stand in my garden with a camera!

Re: Seen a Mini?
Spotted this afternoon at 5pm near Mallow co. Cork on the Killavullen road, a pink N-reg Clubman with black bonnet and bootlid. Not far behind it was a UK-reg Mk1 Escort choptop. Maybe they were travelling together.

Re: Seen a Mini?
96 Mini, cherry red, I was temporarily lost at the time, but it was parked on a very minor somewhere between Kiltiernan and Loughlinstown
Re: Seen a Mini?
My husband was pulling into our driveway in Artane in my mini and another red mini with a white door flashed its lights & let him across the road. I've seen it around the area before!

Johnny Murphy and I had pulled into Urlingford for a sambo coming back from Dublin this evening and a lovely 98C Volcano Sportspack pulled in. Turned out to be Bobby on this forum on his way back to Kilkenny from Cork.

Spotted what appeared to be a '79 Mini 1100 Special in someone's driveway between the Clonsilla Inn and Mulhuddard yesterday. It was silver with a black vinyl roof. It was parked on the left as the convoy went past.
