I don't think there will be any confusion ... Trelo's will be the one doing the low level flying

Then again I might win the funniest photo comp as I get a shot of me passing you, taken in the chrome mirror cap/cover to make it look like i passed you.

But as this is off topic, I see a black Cooper every day on Spit Bridge around 7.45 am sign written in Northshore Realtor livery

There's a CR/W Cooper parked on the corner across the road from Macca's at Cremorne everyday. Looks lonely.

Good one Vic, I'll pay that one, I'll even give you the prize if you get the photo . Oh perhaps not, don't try, Gazha (club doctor) won't be there.

Every second day i see an Indie Blue S near Tuggeranong square - Canberra of course... not sure if they are a Mini2er or not... Sweet looking car though ! Also always see a CR/W Cooper around Gordon...

On the whole old school vs new school minis, well, i (currently) drive an old '71 and make sure i either beep or flash all Mini breeds new or old... I always get something back from the classics but rarely from the newbies...

Do newbie drivers flash other newbie drivers in Aus?? Could be something i miss when mine floats on over and the classic has found a new home...

I flash (my lights, before I get any lude comments) at all newbie's and wave at oldie's, always get mixed reactions. Some wave back, some flash back and some look at me like I'm an Idiot But yes in general it's cool to flash

Just to tease me I spotted an IB/W MCS with stripes while I was having an "executive brekkie" in Manuka this morning.

Saw Brad at the local Mosman Crystal Carwash last night (unfortunately it closed before I got there )

Brad appeared to be very closely watching the team clean his pride and joy Did they miss anything Brad?

I dont see anyone, all the minis around my area are fairly generic apart from a few. Think I need to do more than 4000kms a year in the thing then maybe i'll run into someone.
or maybe i'm getting blinder!

They unfortunately always do .. water restrictions are giving me the sh ts well and truly. It was bad enougn over here that you could only wash the car on grass, which we don't have much of. I go down to Dee Why and use Car Lovers every couple of weeks and spend an hour or so cleaning all the bits the guys at the car wash miss.
