New addition to our mini family

How's this for a dream. A 1968 mk1 Tartan red and has never been welded and as far as I can see does not need any, the sills are perfect and the boot is unbelievable no rust any where. I have to admit that it is an automatic but when it has only 15,000 on the clock who cares. The interior is perrfect and only needs a good clean. As for the doors, well no rust bubbles and you can run your hand along the bottom and it does not get shredded, they even close with a reasurring click. All good things come to those who wait. We are going to call her Rosie and I cannot wait to get her into the new heated garage. We will never use her like Nessie but we are sure we can use her to help us raise money for the CHSW.

Sounds lovely - not taking her on LeJog then !

John managed to pick up our new addition today. Vermillion 1981 Clubby Estate, 54k fairly original just a  few little chrome additions. Not as clean as hoped but good enough, needs a little bit of TLC. John managed to get her back ok and said she drove like a dream, no engine problems at all. Not bad as she has only done 20 or so miles since aug'03. Just need to sort out rear seat belts for Grace.  

I am sure Matthew will be around to look at her shortly and laugh.

Still haven't come up with a name yet though.  

I will be sometime soon and have a look (need to drop some more wheels round)

OI YOU-TERRY!! Mabel is very offended about the automatic comment ,she is now sulking and refusing to start until you apologise   .

sounds like a smashing car you lucky thing-hope nessie won't get jealous of all the attention rosies gonna get

We love minis Auto's 850's 998's they are all the same to us. We are not a very proud couple and we do not care what type of mini we drive. We have driven then all and loved them all. Nessie will never feel jealous as her heart is as big as ours and she has already made Rosie feel at home. We have found it hard to sleep at night over the past few weeks as we have Party Ring's car sitting on the drive as well and the noise the lot of them make after the lights go out is keeping us awake, so much giggling.

That sounds like something that kelli would say

Has Kelly still got her Mini?

yes she has

Is she going to do any Mini events this year?

i doubt it she hasnt mentioned any mini events to me but then again she hardly speaks to me anyway
