Hey everyone, I've finally got myself a mini! well i did at the start of the year and have been doing abit of work on her! It's the little TYQ, idea came from the number plate TYQ! It's a genuine 1970 mini k, modiefied..... looking good i must say! Well i've decided to change my site abit and make it all good, everyone's dream, i want to make it enjoyable and spread a BIG mini smile on all of your faces!:D
Recently went to the Pattie Pie Tour with the mini club! Was a wonderful experience and me being on my L's a chance to have a good drive on some challenging mini friendly roads! The challenge started a week before when we pulled out my gearbox for a complete rebuild, with Mark Doolan's wonderful know how we had it in the Thursday night before the tour.... All running nicely for the trip. An early start of 8 o'clock and a cruizy drive to bairnsdale water tower where around 34 mini's met! I must say a stunning sight, BLISTC making its presence know while SMIK was looking very shiny and bling bling! Off we went to Buchan for lunch after a confusing set of instructions sent us round in circles for awhile! A good feed at Buchan after a good drive left me with 1/4 of a tank of petrol, here's me thinking i'll be right having twin tanks little to my knowledge that the right hand tank was clogged up and not working! shock horror, i ran out of petrol just out of Orbost! Luckily i had the spare petrol which got me there... The lady at the servo almost died when mum took a photo of me filling up, apparently the batteries can ignite. Anyways we kept driving and made it to Sale for tea where i had lemon chicken DELICIOUS then chocolate mouse to finish... The next day we woke up feeling plumper then usuall and a few sore heads i'd think, We re-fueled and minied on to find ourselves on some great roads heading into Tara Bolga National park for lunch, abit of entertainment with snakies and an attempted reverse donut by Mark and we headed off to Traffalgar, what a shame the tour almost over! We arrived at Traffalgar and parted our seperate ways, one clubby had to be push started due to a flat battery! Was a good fun weekend and everyone should go next year!
