Wearing a whistley hat


She even made it onto an advert recently.


I sneak her out for the odd drive but she's garaged alot, bring on the Summer I say

Looking good, excellent colour

Betty is looking fabmackawhackythumbsaloft!

hopefully we'll see you on a few runs this year

Thew wee spot lights are dinky tbh.

The difference it makes with the archs painted!! Beautiful! It shows how good looking Betty is since an artist wanted to put it into his painting!!

The spots are small but this is the world off Minis!!! We like small things!!

Not exactly a painting Stan, it's the bottom of the Christmas Tree that was in O'Connell St. last year.

ooh Maxi Will be pleased!

an "Artist" no less!

next thing you know Maxi will be learning french

Really nice looking mini and tastefully modified,was it a ladies touch or did the "artist" have a hand in it too.BTW nice picture on Carlingford pier,I was thinking of do a run later in the year out towards Colley and take ye on a few interesting back roads more suited to a car of mini proportions.

I like to think so


I had a fair idea of what I wanted to do once i got her home, spent ages cleaning and hoovering til I sorted what would suit her. Now that I think of it, it was her anniversary the other week - Great Friday.

I think the sprayed in arches and wavey grille make it. My previous Cooper was a late Sportspack so it had all the bits and pieces already done.

I'd quite fancy a light tan leather interior and pepper pot wheels but thats wishful thinking.


Thanks for all the nods of appreciation
