Hey Everyone
Hi all.
Just took delivery of a pre-loved 2002 CooperS. Man how good are these cars!! Have to shoot off to work, will talk to you all when I get 5 cya :thumbsup: |
In Bathurst? What's it like taking a MINI round Mt Panorama? I used to work crowd control at the 1000 and the 12-hour when they had it there in the early 90s. I got to take one of my Minis on a couple of flat-out laps with about 300 other Minis in Oct 91. So much fun!
Anyway...welcome to NAM.:cool: |
Welcome aceman!!! Check in again when you can....include a pic or two if so inclined!:thumbsup:
|
Welcome and please post pics of your MINI with a backdrop of some of your famous Australian outdoors. Thanks! Best wishes.
|
Thanks for the welcome ppl's.
It's way too much fun driving my MCS. :wink: Glad I found this place. Does anyone here go on drives with other Mini owners? This is something I would love to do :smile: If not maybe we can organize something Anyway, i'll post some pic's as soon as I can get myself out of the drivers seat. Later |
Yes, I understand there are a number of active MINI clubs in Aus. Don't know about the Bathurst area, but Sydney seems to be pretty active.
I'm not trying to send you away, but the Aus forum on here is usually pretty quiet. The Aus forum on MINI2 http://www.mini2.com/ sees a LOT more activity. Agro.:cool: |
Hey Aceman...!!
Welcome! Do you know that about two weeks ago the East Coast Targa went through Bathurst? There were 5 mini's this year - the most numerous car: www.eastcoasttarga.com.au: http://www.eastcoasttarga.com.au/Gal...EC%2040-09.jpg http://www.eastcoasttarga.com.au/Gal...EC%2041-18.jpg http://www.eastcoasttarga.com.au/Gal...5EC%201-17.jpg Mini2 has a more active Aussie forum, and there's quite a few runs organised on there. Go to www.clubmini.com.au as well..... it was the first BMW recognised mini club in the world...they do a lot of stuff including driver training and discounts etc.... If you want to post in the Aussie section on mini2, you'll have to PM Paul Mullet, as new users can not post in there until they have 200 posts on the rest of the forum...(there were some issues a few months back with vagobonds who were booted and re-registered under different names - this was their solution....)....anyway..if you send a private message to Paul, he can set you up to post in there.... Welcome! Enjoy your new mini!!!! :thumbsup: (oh yeah....post some pics!!) |

Ah! Nice machine!! got any mods on there yet?
Hey..if you're interested...here's my pics from the East Coast Targa: http://www.em.net.au/users/tiaan/min...August%202005/ |
Geez gimmee a little time, ive only had it a week :razz:
Still reading what mods are the go. I like the sound of the 15% pulley reduction, air cleaner and exhaust. Also I have to choose which wheels, 17 or 18". BTW nice pic's. I did see them run through Bathurst, it was awesome |
I'm ready to drive to Bathurst! :razz:
