Hello from Sunny Kent!!

Hi Guys,
I have recently purchased a MK1 1989 Clipper to replace a classic mini clubman as I needed something more family friendly. Loving the car so far but need to get a few little issues sorted out here and there so thought I better join the forum so that I can hopefully get some helpful advice

Welcome bud be sure to join the regional group they're a friendly bunch here  where in kent you from????

Hello and welcome, get some pics up mate, let us have a look

Cheers Guys,

I am just outside of Tunbridge Wells. I will post some photos up over the weekend. It will probably be off the road for a few weeks after that as it is having the bodykit resprayed soon

Hi fella, welcome along quite a busy scene in Kent for VW's ,coming to APEX Festival at Lydden this weekend?

Hello there and welcome to the forum. Lots of help here to cover pretty much any problems you have MK1 related

Gutted, I'm not around this weekend Good to know that there is a lot in Kent though. I am about a mile from the Hop Farm, Grill & Chill is still there later in the year isn't it?

Hi mate welcome along, you must be in paddock wood or eastpeckham or near by. Years ago my ol man run the harp inn at the end of Severn mile lane 

Yes, East Peckham! The Harp eh, I'm sure it has changed quite a bit since he was there! It's now a 'gentlemans' club!!

I've been past it see it had signs up saying strippers lol , was a nice place many years ago, we go that way to the inlaws they are t,wells . Lee

Hi and welcome! Littles issues will be a weekly thing if ur anything like me! But she's worth it even when she's trying to kill me lol lol x

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I will look at becoming a paid member shortly as well Here is a photo of the car as it stood a few weeks ago when I picked it up. Its looking a little worse for wear now though as i have stripped all of the body kit off for respraying(also tempted to add older style bumpers but still unsure. I am also intending on fitting a set of alloys as well.

Looks like a nice straight cabby from the pic mate. Good luck with the work you're doing to her.
