Talking Australian MINI2ers car spotting thread!

Thought I would start a new thread whereby we could make a post each time we have seen another MINI2er on the road (or any car, or thing of note for that matter).

I'll start shall I!

On the way home from work today and in the space of about 1 minute I spotted Harry Morant and CanberraCooperS ... both kinda near the airport. But seeing as I am still in my GTI they didn't notice me!



Cheers Liam

Hi Minigolf, I spotted a CB/CB cooper 's' with chrome mirror cap, and 'Cooper S' written across the windscreen, it was close to Bondi Beach. Don't think he was a club member but we both checked each others cars out in the traffic jam. I'd never seen this car before, has anyone else seen this MINI?

I saw Trelo yesterday, he dropped a wheel over to my place to see if it fit over my new Big Brakes and to show off his new chrome mirror caps . It does.

I'd be watching your rear vision mirrors on Sunday if I was you, after that comment. Trelo's car is the one you will see closing on you at about 1.5 times your speed with bright chrome mirror caps shining in your eyes.

Lately I seem to see more original minis. Getting a wave rate of about 60% from them.

I did see SWORKS (boo's car, right?) on Monday but it was parked.

I see a certain blue and white mini nearly every arvo! (Poki lives in my street)

Also see tons of old school minis on the coast - only get a few waves - obviously abit of a stigma attached to the wave to a new school mini

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

OUCH!!

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.
