Getting there slowly - reflex - 01-20-2017
Hey all,
I've wanted a Mini for longer than I can remember. Back in the early years of high school I always saw adverts in the newspaper for R3000 etc and thought hey I could save and get that.
At that point I obviously didn't have a drivers license nor space.
Well, not much has changed except that I am older and have a drivers license
Anyway, I stay in Cape Town area and have decided to start by rebuilding a 1275 engine. One I get some more space I will get myself the car too.
Sadly I haven't found an engine yet, but I have in the mean time ordered the David Vizard Tuning the A-series book.
Happy motoring to all!

Fantastic and welcome!
Sometimes, as with any hobby or passion, it' as cheap or as expensive as you make it.
The joy of Mini's is that mostly everything is still available for them, so good luck with
your humble beginnings.
