Hi from Australia

Hi there,

Hope you don't mind me joining your forum. I live in Fremantle, Western Australia. I do have a brother living outside Boston, does that count?

Anyhow my MINI is a EB/W MCS built Feb 02. It is fairly standard at the moment and I intend to keep it that way, although I'm tempted to try the MTH re-map.

I'm not new to Minis, having had at least one since learning to drive (back in Ireland). Currently I have a 1968 Moke which I use for Motorkhana (they're like smallscale Solo events), a 1982 Rover 1.3i auto,a loan of a Mini Jem and a 1970 Cooper S.

I bought the MINI so that I'd have some time to give my classic Minis some well deserved TLC. It'sd the closest thing I've driven to a well sorted Classic Mini..always brings a smile to my face.


Cheers,

Dave

Welcome to NAM. Australia is high on my list of places I would like to visit. If I do make the trek over there can I stay at your house to save on hotel fees

Thanks for the welcome everyone Hopefully I can contribute something to NAM.

Not sure about Vics44's mention of Allies, hopefully he desn't mean Australia's present Govt. support of the GWB administration?


Cheers,

Dave
