What cars do you own (does not have to be Mini related)?
I own the following:
1951 Morris Minor series MM 4 door
1964 Austin Mk1 Mini Estate (tinnie)
1965 MG 1100 4 door (Blackie)
1966 Mk1 Cortina GT
1969 Austin America automatic
As you can see I have a love for all British cars going back to the 60's when I was in High School. My friends mostly had Muscle Cars and the like.

But you guys are the lucky ones! You have all the good cars almost in your backyard, so to speak as I've found most of the ones I own in breakers yards (yank talk,junk yards) and brought some of them from the brink. I still am struggling with parts for the Morris Minor because of rarity and availability of parts so it will undergo a very loooong restoration.

My cars are in my sig. The Corona Coupe is one of only two in Australia like it, and it was featured in Australian Classic Car magzine after I restored it. www.ccar.com.au/html/articles/everyday_classic/Feb09ToyopetCorona1800GL.htmlPlus I have a car trailer, a caravan (1978 Millard) and my homemade enclosed luggage trailer I built for the Moke.  The Seca Autox car is for sale, because I've just bought a Mini for Autox. I've got to drive 800km with the trailer to collect it. |

Besides the mini we own a 2009 Nissan Navara Crew cab 4X4 Diesel auto.. I love it. after the mini getting into a car that won't even fit in a car space is awesome.
