Sydney, Australia

Hi guys, my name's Bradford (or brad for less typing). I've been a member for a while but terribly inactive! I'm from sydney australia, i have a 1963 morris 850 in bits and as per, massive dreams

My story starts back in 2000 when a family friend gave my dad and i the '63 mini and a bunch of parts. The mini was rough but had promise and completely captured my 13 year old imagination. It's been a long long road to now, i have lost interest at times, run out of money, neglected it for many years (by that it was always covered and usually in a carport). I'm back into it, back on all the forums i joined over the past 12 years and loving the information.

I'm enjoying turbominis and the general "feel" of the place, and after mucking about with V8's im glad there are more options for making minis quicker. The thought of using a turbo on the mini never crossed my mind, but i guess being more mature and forums like TM have helped change that!

I'll be getting a build thread up soon enough, dont get excited as its a bodyshell and parts, no engine, no turbo haha, but that will change over the next few years (whats a few more after 12 already)

I'm looking forward to the journey with my mk1 mini and TM. If you have opinions hit me up, i like honest ideas even if they oppose my own.

Thanks for reading boys and girls! I hope to chat with you soon :)

Brad
