Ahhh but I have the space for them and a trailer to move them. :grin:

Actually, hang on - since last weekend I my wife and I currently have Golf3, Golf Syncro, Passat, Corrado, half an SJ.

You have MX-5 1, MX-5 2, Mini, Rover 75 and Golf.

So I make it that the pair of you have about half a car more than we have.

There's quite a few:

MED
Swiftune
KAD Engineering (Top end bespoke 16valve stuff)
MiniSport
MiniSpeed
They're the more well-known but there are plenty of others. :cool:

may be thinking of KAD...

I think it was sort of like what amg do for mercedes?

I think in that case you might mean The Cooper Car Company. That was like AMG is to Merc until BMW bought Coopers.

If they didn't cost an utter fortune, i'd love to run one again. My last one cost £120, now it seems you can't get them under £2000 - and even those are utter sheds :(

Try going to Paul Crowson truck repairers in march, ask for Rob, he buys, sells and restores old mini's, chances are he could get you one cheep.

If you want to go see him, drive from Peterborough towards march on the A47, turn right at the roundabout at rings end, follow the road for about half a mile and just after the 50mph signs there is a turning on your left going down an unmade road, they are the barn at the end.
