Scott_Thomson Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Hi, been on here for a while and being a classic mini owner i cant help but notice how many people on here either own one or have owned one previously along with owning a Lupo.Was just wondering if people could post pics of their Mini Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puggled Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 to an extent, but also a hell of a lot of fun to drive around in. 30mph feels like 70! hahaAin't that the truth. Issigonis' little miracle of packaging.Not as weak as they look at uni a mate rolled one into a field and only broke his specs.Another mate had one and the passenger seat mechanism was burst, every time he put the brakes on you'd head for the window. But on the back road from Perth to his farm the thing railed the bends and flew over the humpback bridge. I don't think he ever had it above 80, but it felt like 160 at times.Greig that is GORGEOUS!

DarkStryder360 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Good to see that there are people with Minis and Lupos. From experience, Mini owners are as stuck up their own ass, as a majority of Air Cooled Dub owners. Sometimes I just want to buy 12 Mini Clubmans and take them all to a Mini meet, see how long it takes for them to get their pitchforks out.

Koop Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Interesting to find this connection as I was planning to get a mini when when my wife passed her test...however i've now fallen in love with the loop so new plan is to get a sport! Still love minis though, will stick a v-twin bike engine in one if I have more money than sense one day hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
