Recently got a printer with a half decent scanner and started scanning some old pictures from 35mm prints lol.

My first ever mini in florescent green, bought from a kid at college, drove it home and to an mot, guy advised me it was so rotten to not even attempt to drive it home!, so it had a date with the gas axe. sold all the bits off it, doors, bonnet and boot were off another car- 998 went for scrap as no one wanted them then, but sold 295 head, twin carbs, cooper exhaust and loads of other bits off it, think I was up about £100 in the end

I sold all the bit to a place on langsett road in Sheffield, 2 lads who did minis up, business came and went in 2 years but when I turned up they had a white 998 auto that they were tarting up so I px'ed my bits for it

998 manual slung in by them

And what did we all do to our first minis?

Hahaha, my dad got me the headlamp peaks for my birthday along with other bits,after seeing his beaming face as I opened them I had to fit them otherwise he would have been crest fallen lol.My biggest complaint was slicing my leg open on one whilst pissed up lol

That slimmer chap was just about to start work onsite as a spark for the first time so really that was the point where I stopped drifting and got some direction about life ect ect, used the white one for 18 months for work but had to sack it for something more practical in the end. Also he was in the throws of developing a taste for beer which is probably why he's not so slim now. ........

Against the general opinion, I always rather liked the Maestro. A turbocharged Maestro with the 5 speed box could be pretty useful and is more accommodating than a mini for those of us of "generous" proportions !

I had 3 of them dave, all 1.3, theres one hiding in the mini pics, whenever we had a decent drive ahead everyone would pile into my car cos it had more room and 4 doors, nothing worse than a 3 hour trip to Blackpool 5 up in a two door nova or fiesta lol

Love the Ital, you should have written 'I couldn't afford and Escort' on the side!

Otherwise a similar collection of oddballs to my history.
