Christ, was that your Dad, ? terrible, l heard it on CFRB, Big news-

What is the world coming to ?

When l lived in Orangeville Ontario many , many years ago, it was pretty small potatoes, actually lots of potatoes-

I hope he is feeling better-

BIG AL

 

Big Al!! Welcome back!!! Glad to see you're recouping and back on the board.

If you're ever down in the Amherstburg area give me a ring and stop on by for a cold one. I'll pm you my number.

My parents wish you well, as they were asking about you last time I was home. Lot's of excitement there (caledon) with developers trying to bully my mom and council. Dad got followed and threatend by two individuals then came home last tues to someone running up behind him and punching him in the face. It's been in the papers all last week. Not good.

Jeff.

Dave,

We should get together one of these days, as I'd like to check out your mini. I saw 2 mini's on Saturday in Lasalle, a nice shiny blue one, and a purple one.

Is MOWOG still in operation?? what's going on with the Windsor mini club scene these days as I can't find any sites or info on the web. jeff

Found this pic yesterday when I was cleaning the basement with my dad and getting things organized for the move.

It's from early summer 1999 when I was building my mini. My friend and the individual that owns the h1 are in the pic.

Jeffrey- Next time you need directions getting on and off The Q E Way, just ask Cranium, he has had some experience, l do believe-

Tillsonburg swap meet will be held Sunday the 18th of November at the Giant Flue Cured Tobbaco Auction Barn- 8 A M- - 2:00 PM-

You can't miss it, "largest building in Tillsonburg ". #3 / # 19 HWY area-

Vendors can enter at 6:00 AM-(LOL)-That means l gotta leave home at 4:30 AM to get there on time-Bummer-

See you there-

BIG AL-

 

Don,

Thanks, picked the motor up on the way back last Sunday. My dad met me there and we loaded it up onto the trailer.  I'm taking it to Windsor next weekend for when we get the house, where I can clean it up and better inspect its condition.

Once my mini is out of the garage my dad will be able to finish the restoration on his.

The seats look great in my mini by the way.

I wanted to go to Princess Auto and found out it moved, so I ended up at the New location after driving around, and from there it took me about 30mins to get back on the QEW was the exit I got off to get to the shop. What a pain!!!

Jeff; Nice pad, congrats. BTB did you pick up that engine of Paul's from out back on the way to Windsor or on the way back to TO?

Cheers

Don

 " sometimes it's tougher to look than to leap "

Coach House with bathroom and heat????  Awesome!  She will see you...what....once a month or so?  Looks like it's also far enough that you'll have to drive the Mini to the auto barn from the main house.   Enjoy...jealous

Mini....and then there were none......keep the legacy alive!

Thanks guys!! I can't wait.

You're right Big Al, Thanks for the correction!!! And no that's long gone, and it's good because I wouldn't of met this one!!! Now she's a keeper!!!  I'm sure you'll get to meet her soon enough, as my mini should be up and running like a top just in time for winter, so I'll be making the rounds to the regular events now. Thanks for the heads up on the Tillsonberg meet!! I'll have to go to it on my way back from Windsor to Toronto.

I'm still working in Toronto until the right job comes around.

The garage or as I call it "coach house" has it's own seperate furnace, bathroom and is fully insulated so keeping it warm isn't an issue!!!

I've attached a pic of the house!! It will be like vacation all year at the cabin!! lol

Nice house. Where's the garage you mentioned?

Zip

 

Jeffrey-

Two points-

1/ That l believe would be South and west-

2/And would that be the same blonde g/f that used to drive everybody nuts at mini car shows (the nurse) ?

In any event good luck- BTW, Brit car parts swap meet at Tillsonburg, Ontario on Sunday the 18th of November-Not that far from your new digs-

BIG AL-

 

Congrats.  A garage like that should make the long winters much more bearable - if you can keep it warm.  That garage would certainly sway my view of any prospective house purchase, I tell you.  Very nice.

SE7EN

and East (i mean west!!) . lol. We'll not that far.

The gf and I bought a house in Amherstburg, Ontario, which is just outside of Windsor and we take posession on the 9th of November. 

So as of the NOV 9th there will be a few more mini's in the Windsor area!!!

Take a look at my new garage!!!!!! WOOOO HOOOO!!! I'll bet I can fit a few mini's in there!!
