130k km He's friendly too, stopped at the lights at the exact same spot as me (even though he could've moved up one car space), smiled then waved. It's probably the first I've seen ever since I owned a Mini.

Was coming home from Batemans Bay and saw a CR/W MINI with two big canoes on it's roof heading the other way. Just caught a glimpse as we were on a bend but it looked pretty funny...

Looks like we both have a new role model Tit. (not the musical taste, the other bit)

Do you know if he has had any major trouble? Thats the only thing that concerns me about having a car with half a million kms on it when the residual falls due. For that couple of years between end of warranty and end of finance - that would be a great time to do a part of the drivetrain in and have to find $10000 to fix it. Not.

EDIT: sounds like this guy - wrong state though. linky link

a man needs a canoe!

[poki]

Canoes are very useful

we spotted 2 MINIS at Albion Park one was Yellow/White MCS, and the other I think Blue MC. they were travelling together and were keeping up a really good pace on the freeway to wollongong. I tried to tag along for a while, but My license is too valuable for that. They both exited at wollongong/ Anybody know if there is a wollongong chapter that meets somewhere, or was this just a bizzarre co-incidence.

[n00b]

I'd say conincidence - like last week, there's 5 MC/MCS parked in a row but that wasn't a Mini meet.

I was going Ok in spotting at least one mini a day but hadnt seen any for about 4 days so my lovely husband took a detour on the way home on Saturday past mini garage in Fortitude Valley (Brisbane) so I could hang over the fence and drool at the demo model of the new one we have just ordered and have to wait quite a few months yet. Does that count as mini spotting?? At least I caught a quick glimpse of one on the way home tonight but looked like a red car with beer advertising or something all over it headed out of town on Coronation Drive towards Toowong.

I see the Kingsley's "BEEFY" one every day across the road from work...

[MickyD]

saw a BRG/B with Black bonnet stripes just near home the other day, that was the original combo I was going to get. Looked good (but not as good as BRG/W :P )

[meinamini]

Hunter St Newcastle, AM, EB/W MCS with 'MINIS' plate.
Charlestown Square car park (yes finally entered a car park ) IB/W Cooper 'YB.####"
New England Hway, MC(S) CR/W, lights and stripes, waved couldn't see driver.
