Going to Perth (Tourist Thread)

Hi there.

Going to Perth this friday till early next week. Was wondering if anyone could kindly point me in the direction of a few good Mini accessory and mod shops.

I'm going to be staying at the Grand Chancellor. This is my first time in Perth so appreciate any advice.

Thank you!

Hi mate, can't say that there is anywhere in Perth that specialises in MINI stuff.

There is only 1 dealer in WA, Auto Classic in Victoria Park and they don't have much to offer.

Enjoy your stay anyway.

Can't comment about mod shops but if you can get down to Fremantle there's some great restaurants and boutique breweries.

If you're flying in from OS don't forget you can hire Coopers locally

thanks for advice!

Was wondering if there were more "interesting" cars available for rent? Like a Holden HSV GTS 300, for instance?

Will never get to own on in my country so would love to get my hands on one.

Thanks all.

I think you'd be struggling to hire one, and if you could get one it'd be pretty expensive. If you go to a holden dealer you might be able to convince them to give you a drive.... maybe....

A fair guess that he doesnt understand the whole Ford vs Holden thing . then again neither do I for that matter.

2002 BRG MCS with more mods than can remember The thieves choice in race cars

Just got back from Perth!

Very, very nice place you have there, lads.

Didn't get a chance to drive anything but I do like the XR8. Saw a couple of HSV clubsports, which looked more aggressive IMHO.

I hear you could rent a Dodge Viper in some parts of OZ.

Would love to know where....
