A very talented MINI owner in the UK has done a painting of our BEP MCS from a photo that we took at the University of Queensland when the jacaranda trees were in full bloom.

Just thought I would share with my other fellow Qld MINI owners.

Hello.
I have a red cabrio on order for mid July and hope to come to a club drive soon after that. I don't see many cabrios in the photos for the Queensland club site though??... why is that?

We do have a couple of cabrios in clubMINI and Sunnybanker with a DS MCS is a very regular attendee on the runs. I guess there are not many in the photos on the clubMINI website because they have not been updated for a while so will have to get that fixed up very soon with some new shots.

We would love to see you on a run soon and we are just finalising the calender for the rest of the year very soon so keep checking the website for updates or feel free to contact any of the committee

85NIXMIN · May 7th, 2007, 12:47 PM

Yeh I noticed those pics haven't been updated on that site in a while....

It's biased in favour of tin-tops

I could be persuaded to organise something for early saturday morning. But would have to be early and not too long. say leave around 7 from southside.

Mt tambourine - beechmont - bottom of springbrook mountiains - Back to brisbane. Nothing too formal just a blast through the mountains

not sure about stopping for breaky tho, maybe a quick stop for coffee.

if there are any takers

Paul_T · May 9th, 2007, 05:02 AM

Hi guys,
Some of you may remember when I first got my MINI being somewhat dissapointed with the handling...

The car now has 4000k's on the clock and is getting much much better to steer. I punted it through a corner the other day and was amazed at the speed I was able to carry.

99% of my driving is to work and back - all highway so very boring. I hadn't 'really driven it' in a few thousand k's so was pleasently suprised. String a few corners together and my smile grew larger.

I still stand and say that it isn't the great handler of the MX5... but my original dissapointments are quite a thing of the past. Much much much happier with my little brick now.... I think it's bordering on obsession soon.

Minipnut · May 9th, 2007, 03:32 PM

Id be keen rub =)

85NIXMIN · May 10th, 2007, 08:41 AM

Well I thought that I should wash my baby today.. the dirt was sittin' pretty thick on it and it looked *****`.....so I bought some Maguires NXT Generation Tech Wax and some Dash and Trim Spray...I bought the Gold Class Wax last time and was happy with it but I just wanted to see if this stuff was any different....It smells a bit different to the Gold Class Wax....so yes, I wonder is it similar or the same stuff in the bottle with a different price slapped on it!

brett · May 10th, 2007, 10:33 AM

THe dash and trim spray was quite messy to apply but worked well, Although I buffed it after it had dried so It felt a bit less greasy hard work but good, although I think I will go back to mothers Back to Black alot less greasy and easier to apply

Ohh and I've just ordered my 5th set of door trims (keeps the new car smell going for longer at BMWs expense)

85NIXMIN · May 10th, 2007, 10:49 AM

I've used the dash and trim spray b4 and was quite pleased at how long it lasted...

Door trims??? Where abouts is that the silver bit that says MINI COOPER on it?

brett · May 10th, 2007, 12:26 PM

around the edges it goes crazy paint look, I've had 1 dash replaced and 5 door trims

I am in discussions to BMW Group about fitting the Cooper S alloy Interior I think my Cooper s is allergic to the Cooper interior

SupeRub · May 11th, 2007, 11:48 AM

85NIXMIN · May 13th, 2007, 12:39 PM

Ooh I got acknowledged today!
At the Logan Rd/Underwood Rd intersection... I was zoomin' along Logan Rd and there was a R56 that was waiting to turn onto Undie Rd...I was like "Ooooh thats my first R56 I've seen on the roads.." as well as that it gave me a warm fuzzy feelin' inside!

Call me silly but eh... that was my first wave!

85NIXMIN · May 13th, 2007, 01:37 PM

Hehe @ dinner tonight my dad said that he wanted a MINI!!

My mum was like "NOO waay!" *she hasn't even had a drive in mine yet!"
So yeh tryin' to convince my mum to let my dad get a MINI!... then I can drive it as well as my own... I told him to get a "S"

5ambo · May 16th, 2007, 06:03 AM

Hi all - I'm currently in Limbo and in somewhat agony!..... the Limbo part you ask??? My Laser Blue MCS is still an itch in Mr Coopers trousers so to speak... I will be waiting till September for the beast to arrive! (and then it will be the sub 4500 revs for a good month or so after that ;-).

I am interested to know how often you guys get together in organised drives? (even if from time to time its just a couple of cars.. )
