Hi minier's.

Well it had to happen at some point. We are offically mini-less.

The mini was sold last week and left for the grey skies of melbourne.

So it is a sad day for us, but also a happy day.

Thanks to everyone who welcomed us with open arms when we just decided to invite ourselves on a run a few years ago.

We have made alot of great friends, who will outlast this forum, and who will be friends regardless of what car we all drive. To all of youse.....thanks.

Ill still be lurking from time to time and hope to find that we'll still be invited to the things like the big xmas bash.

To everyone on M2 and MM who have offered great advice, great banter, and alot of humor. Thanks and keep it up, although M2 has slidden recently, ill fondly remember the good ol days when this forum was a hotbed of action.

well I am rambling,

ill still be floating around, so Ill just say, thanks for all the fish, and ill speak to you all, whenever I can.

Mini on

Josh and Alison.

Awww..

Well all the best for the MINIless future John and Ali

What's replacing (or already has replaced) the Minster?

Good to hear from you guys. Apart from the obvious, it's good to see that your MINI has sold as I know you were trying to sell it for a while.

Cheers Liam

Josh and Ali · May 27th, 2007, 11:31 PM

It is not being replace for a little while.

Alison will use the GT for work, and I have a bit of a long term loan of a 94 Excel.

It is interesting to drive, no supercharger, power steering / windows / mirror, no central locking, no airbags, no aircon, no cd player, no nothing.

it is without a doubt just an engine in a box. but it is free and reliable, so i love it.

MickyD · May 27th, 2007, 11:33 PM

reliable being the bit that probably makes the most pleasant change

I think slidden will be my word of the week too

Josh and Ali · May 27th, 2007, 11:54 PM

yeah,
true true.

with the exception of the airbag drama, there were no mechanical issues ever.

now that the airbag thing has been sorted, i don't expect the new owner t have any issues whatsoever.

I remember that first run with you guys - it was a worthos one to the Hunter and thinking about it I cannot believe it was nearly three years ago!

Congratulations on the sale. Seems like a forever ago you decided to sell it.

Don't be strangers. Always great to catch up with you both

Gr1zzLy · May 28th, 2007, 05:57 AM

Dude, shame to see you've parted with the mini, but glad you guys will still be around!

Smurfn · May 28th, 2007, 07:19 AM

Good luck without the MINI.

See you around, whatever car you drive

Mr G · May 28th, 2007, 11:32 AM

free and reliable are two very strong attributes in a car.

Good luck Josh and Ali. Hope to see you around sometime.
