Favourite thing’s about my classic?

Everything,it is a Mini,but finished of with a bit of Italian flair.

Insurance costing?

I think it is about 300 euro’s fully comp.

If you could buy a MINI/Mini, what would it be?

I think it would be a new Mini because i have a classic already,so i would opt for one of the new Mini Cooper “S”,with the JCW pack,and the colour would be a Cream body,and a Black roof,to match my own classic Mini colour’s.

Best things about being a Mini driver?

Well most people on the planet have heard of the mini car,it is Fun,and if you are lucky to own one ,it is a bit of motoring history you are driving around in.

Do you wave to other Minis?

Oh yes!

Advice to others?

Enjoy every minute of Owning,Driving and Fixing them,it’s Great.

Best Mini moment?

It would have to be owning Mini’s of all sort’s over the last 25 year’s and i am still counting,the enjoyment of owning a mini,getting in to my first mini when i was 17,Joining various Mini club’s like this one,Making New Friend’s,Meeting Old One’s,Going to Mini show’s,Going on Mini Run’s,Getting to meet some of the Famous name’s in the Mini’s history the list could go on and on,so that would be my Best Mini Moment,the last 25 year’s of my life and Counting.
