Seen this on another forum and was reading thru it and some people have some very good story's behind there Mini's! Be interesting as I'm sure some of you have some to!

95' Mayfair - He got his name Stud as while we were on the M2M 2009 we some how shreaded three wheel studs and there was that one left before we dropped on the brake disc!

96' Sidewalk - He got his name Rov as he was cut in have for a Mini trailer, so since he was cut in half we cut Rover in half and hey presto!!

It's a 1980 mini van in Pagent blue. It had a 1275 in her but i took it out to put in my 93 cooper as the coop was auto and converting it to manual. Have a total different set up to go into the van and plan to change colour to old english white with black roof but not gonna be getting on with it until the repant on the 71 done.
