Irish Mini Owners Club

Hi folks,
bit of a lurker here for the last while, but thought i'd go public and sign up!
I have a 95 (non-Cooper) 1275cc, dark green with tartan interior, ex-Japan, bought from Webcars in bray last September. Its actually the OHs car, but i try to get my hands on it every couple of days. My own ride is a 82 merc 280, so from a Mini to a Merc
She had one previously (89D ....) in the mid 90s, which was sold to a girl from Bray who subsequently did The Italian Job run in it - possibly for her honeymoon iirc.
And of course the old man had one in the early 70s - some of my earliest memories are sitting in the back of our brown Mini as we went round the ring of Kerry on summer hols...ah happy days!

Hey, I'm also a newbie too this website and it's great and all the lads here are bang on so welcome!
But I have one thing to say so listen carefully!!!!
I also have a 1995 mini Green with a tartan interior that I bought from Art in webcars and he is dodgey!!! Every day I find a new problem with my Mini so I sugest you get it serviced!!!

welcome to the forum..
i dont know about the dealer in the above comment but in reality : its a mini!

welcome to the site hope you can make a few runs, and there is always someonee to answer your questions

Hi all,

thanks for the welcome! i'm sure i'll get to a few runs, definitely the Mondello day

@ Stan - i dont think Minis were ever perfect, even when the came off the production line. Ours is a 95, a 14yr old car, granted it has less miles on the clock than its contempories, but there's always gonna be something on any Mini that needs attention.

True! My bad! I did'nt really think off it in that way!!! Sorry again!

You got any pics??

He has a nice wine one up there now! Should have really got that one as there are so many green minis lately!!!
