It's FAB baby!

Once upon a time when I was a young bloke I owned a Mini - a Morris Mini Minor 850 to be precise. Bought it for a couple of hundred bucks. I really loved that car. Unfortunately it met an untimely end in an accident and it wasn't worth repairing. That was over 30 years ago. It sort of looked like the car in the advertising brochure, although I hasten to add that's not me in the white Speedos.

Well since the re-release of the Mini I've been hanging around showrooms without taking the plunge. However that all changed late last year when I finally designed the car I wanted and put in an order.  It took about 3 months for it to be made in Oxford and shipped over. A Mini Cooper S, pepper white, black roof, red leather upholstery, wood steering wheel and trim, spotlights, GT stripes, sunroof, 17" JCW wheels with run flat tires etc. etc. Needless to say I'm very pleased and just love being in the thing. Retro looks with great performance. Drives like a slot car.

No wonder I haven't had time to sit around and write. mmm... and I'm thinking about those white Speedos, the Wayfarers and a Mal for a trip to the beach.
