Snoozin Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Hi thminiman, welcome aboard. Good to see a nicely built Mini on the forums, I trust you'll enjoy your time here. Care for a shot of absinthe? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfalfa Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Forget the Mini, how's Big Purps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thminiman Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 Ha, Big Purps clocked over 200k a few years ago and started to get a few rattles/fucked shocks/everything. It was just as I was leaving to do some work and I decided to sell it before I left. I've lived in regret ever since. I later downgraded to a late model V6 Nissan.

thminiman Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 yea.... I don't know what you last read/heard but I left engineering at the start of 2013 to do a commerce degree full time. Fuck knows why. But I'm in the final year of that, so come november I will hopefully be fully back into the working world, with money and spare time and motivation to get this thing back on the road before it clocks the decade without a WOF. thats right a fucking Decade. Also, random big purps update. It scarily popped up for sale down the road a few weeks ago. Alas, The hulk is a hard car to beat. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youwontgetpartsforitmate Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Whered the seats come from Bud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thminiman Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 I got them from minibitz out in West Auckland. He basically imports all his shit from minispares in the UK, on small items I've found it cheaper to buy from them directly, on larger stuff like tyres and yea, seats, He's pretty competitive with being able to spread the shipping cost across more items. They're these ones, If I was to do it again, I'd get them without head rests, as they're quite bulky and make the seat look a bit arse. That and they make it impossible to access the back seat. Mind you it will be a nice to have for track days etc. http://www.minispares.com/product/Classic/Interior/Seats_Belts/Seats/SEAT11V.aspx?170501&ReturnUrl=/shop/classic/interior/seats,~belts.aspx|Back%20to%20shop That said, I'd probably go for something even different again to be honest http://www.minispares.com/product/Classic/Interior/Seats_Belts/Seats/SEAT13.aspx?170501&ReturnUrl=/shop/classic/interior/seats,~belts.aspx|Back%20to%20shop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SP450andLE Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Those speedwell seats are what I want for my car! They're so sleek and coooool.
