I'd like to announce that we have a new member of our MINI family. Jon Adams of the Hickory Chapter is the proud owner of a 1989 pepper white classic Mini! Please join me in congratulating Jon on his new addition!!! Way to go Jon!

 

Very cool! This calls for some pictures!

Hope we'll see Jon at many club events!

 

'89 eh? Cooool! How'd he get it past Customs?

 

Congrats! You will have nothing but fun. Welcome to the club of the most exclusive drivers on earth.

Excellent! Pictures! Pictures!

 

Thanks for the hype Eric I do have the new addition to the 03 MCS in the stable. It is a RHD Pepper white Austin Mini Saloon 988 cc. Also an automatic transmission. I will post pics when I'm done. It is now in my garage in pieces. The light switch shorted the harness and I am waiting the new one. While down, I thought I would add a few more goodies. You learn a lot about British cars when you take one apart. Oh, it is a 1980 and because of the age, it is legally tagged and titled. The short time I have driven, I find it handles very well (not quite as well as new version) but also not as powerful. I plan to bring it with me to our next gathering.

 

Sorry for the wrong year Jon. I said 1989. I am hoping (and I'm sure Jon is too) that the car will be ready for "public veiwing" by our next chapter dinner on February 9 (see related post) and those of you interested in seeing it will have to attend!

 

Way cool!! We want pictures!!
