Getting the mini urge!
I'm not sure why but I'm really feeling the idea of having a mini project in my life!
I think it's because I now finally drive a mk1 gti and I'm very very happy with it and need/want something to tinker with,if anyone spots a project for sale around the Birmingham area or knows of one just sitting on a drive etc please let me know,anything considered
Cheers,Sean

Its a good thought!!
I'm also addicted to minis(and called Sean as well!!)
I've currently got Poo, a '67 Riley Elf..
I've just taxed and MOT'd him for the year, although he is due a restoration this year..
I've just sold a clubby estate as well..
Over the years I've own 100's of the things and am currently looking for a replacement for the estate.

I'm In brum and there's quiet a few minis I have noticed around on peoples drives. Problem is they just don't want to sell them regardless of condition?
Some people will gladly let them rot away on the grass before someone comes and drags the rusted remains away for 50 quid in scrap. SACRILEGE!!!!
There are of course those who know there worth and want VERY strong money for them too.
Good luck.
