Sometimes ya just gotta do it...

Saturday August 11th 2007

Have to say, I was never so happy driving a car, well not since my 1978 Holden Gemini that I bought when I was 17.

Let me introduce you all to Betsy II, she is a May 1976 Leyland Mini Clubman, and for the best part is in pretty original condition.

Ive been talking about getting a mini all my life, Ive been a mini spotter for as long as I can remember. And when I seen this little beauty advertised on the net, well what do you do, your heart races a little, you hope like hell no one bids on it on ebay til you see it then you call your uncle Paddy and you drag him out west to look at it, take it for a spin and hope she goes well and he gives the nod.

Then with the wonders of the internet you transfer the cash over at the guys place you bought it from. Hey I love the internet, I love my mini, heck I was kinda fond of the car crazy truck driving dude I got Betsy from. And I love my uncle Paddy.
