(insert Bat Signal Here)

My fiance just spotted a classic Mini we've never seen before. It was in the area near the downtown Sams Club, and she believes it was on Sheridan Street next to "Club Aira" (spelling?). It's in some fenced area that she thinks said "Motor Supply" or something to that effect. The car in question is at least a MK3 car (1970-ish or 71), so it has internal door hinges. It had a square marquee plate on the back, and she said it was sort of a pearlescent green. She only had a few seconds to look at it, so she wasn't able to get anything other than that & the license plate. I won't post the full plate, but it was "GXZ ___".

Anyone near that location that could check it out? I probably won't be able to get down there until Friday to check it out otherwise.

Thanks!

I saw a pearlescent green one at Ward Center couple weekends ago. Driver was a longhaired guy.

 

...and you didn't think that I might want to know?

I'm crushed. That's it. No more questions. I'm fighting back the tears. I'll be in my dressing room.

 

So *nobody* in the 100+ members of the MINI club lives over in town that could swing by?

 

Of the 100+ only like ten are on NAM. Plus ALL ten of us thought you said :
......so we thought no need anymore. Which is it? Make up your mind!

Ask cwlouis - he can probably investigate for you.

 

Hahahaha. I would think that the VP of the club was a little more interested in growing membership. Just teasin' of course.

It's almost Friday - I'll try to swing by there and see what I can see. A good excuse to get the '66 out of the barn.

 

We are trying, we are trying. We may have a way - look for exciting and new things to come with the new face of HMMC.

 

Andy - I think that car is usually in the McCully area. Kinda like a lime/metallic green?

 

That's what Alli said - yeah, sounds like the car. I've got to go over to the airport to pick up the 'ole paycheck today (stupid company doesn't have direct deposit), so I may detour through town on my way back.

 

If it is the same car, it has JCW stripes on it and I used to see it on Isenberg St. and Young St.

 

You're fired as well. :P

Sheesh... how many other classic Minis are out there? I've gotta start going around and trying to find them.

 

There was a medium metallic blue one down the street from me with a roll cage in it. The guys still had the shipping tags on it.

 

They're multiplying!

Can you shoot me an e-mail or give me a call, B? I'd love to find this guy and talk to him!

There's a medium blue w/ white strpes MK3 (like the '71 I had) that I saw down at the Waikiki end of Kapahulu a year or two ago. Never found who it was, but I believe Teresa S. at least knows who it is.

Dammit. Might have to start up a Classic club if they keep showin up. ...that is if I can get Teresa and Barry off their butts to get their Innocenti running!

 

e-mail sent.

 

Danke

 

Secret squirrel says the green Mini is still at Motor Supply. It looks to be the one that I used to see on Isenberg Street.

 

Awesome, thanks man! I'm hoping I can get over there today and leave a note on the windshield or somethin.

Latka......tha Classic Mini stalker. Quit stalking and go find your charger.

 

I thought it was on my desk just buried...now I gotta tear things apart and find it! Doh!

Went by the Goodyear on Sheridan St to look at that Mini. It was dark and across the parking lot, but from what I could tell it's a MK3 car (early 70s) (MK4 cars had a turn signal indicator above the front wheel on the fender). 10 inch wheels. White roof. Couldn't tell if it was a "1000" or not, but it had the square badge so most likely it is. Hopefully very soon I can go by when they're open and leave a note for the owner.

 

i do see a classic greeen mini near officemax when i go home or lunch. looks like someone that works in the victoria ward complex. another green classic mini i know of parks near willows. i think that owner works there

now i feel like a stalka~!

 

yes yes... embrace it. Feel the power of the classic flow through your veins.

More details man! Body colored roof? stripes? internal or external door hinges? Tiny wheels? Big wheels?

Your country is depending on you!

 

the one near Willows is the same one at Isenberg. Probably the same one at Motor Supply.

 

Now we just have to get Il Beastolio out of his Big Red Bavarian Battle Wagon and into a classic Mini.

 

Umm, are they as reliable and trouble free as the MINIs?

 

It's the other way around as I'm sure you'll remember. My 30+ year old Mini was on the road more than my MINI was!

No computahs, no pro'lems.
