Quirky Classic Mini Tales

Quirky what you might say !!! Well the BMC are looking for interesting and not so interesting Mini tales from the last 50 years. These can be added to our time line perhaps or maybe a little story book on the website. Before they are lost for all time.

What is he on about you might think. Well what about the guy who spent nearly £20,000 restoring his Mini Cooper S a few years ago then pays the guy who built his engine to come over to his house to start it up every week!! Then when he took it to MITP one year he got his club members to sweep away the sheep poo so he could display it on 'clean grass'

Or the virtually destroyed crash tested Clubmans that were found in the underground bunkers at Gaydon when Rover went bust. Or when we went to pick up our brand new 1995 Mini Cooper Si from John Cooper Garages the man himself dragged him self out of his sick bed (he had bad flu) to come and personally hand over the car to us. Then a few years later John Cooper told us he had followed our 'concours carear' in the magazines and how proud he was to see us win.

Or even the take about when the Mini was designed the cars kept flooding because the sills were being put on upside down.

Tell us your little quirky tales on the British Mini Club Forum before they are lost for all time. We are sure they will be fascinating to all Mini fans. They all add the personal touch to the car we all love so much
