From this to this.... suprising what abit of hard work and a few simple bits and pieces makes!!!
* There was a new Australian mini magazine launched by Craig from the VMCI a little while ago called The Mini Experience. This is well worth a read with some valuable information. It is sold at all leading newsagents for $7.95 AU. Pick up a copy for a very enjoyable read, very highly reccomended.

* If you are looking for a good service manual with all the technical information the Haynes servie guide is a great place to start. Available from good book stores of maybe pick it up at your local library.

* If you are looking to modify your mini get the Vizards book called modify your mini, Couldn't have a more appropriate title could it...!

*Another great read is MINI WORLD the longest running mini magazine, its from the UK but still well worth a read if your into your minis!

*Another good idea is to sign up to the Victorian Mini club or your local club, they put out monthly mags and have monthly meetings.... very enjoyable! Go meet with other mini sick people!
