Post by Curly »

G'day folks, I've just stumbled across your forum and joined up. I have a couple of BMC classics, a '58 Frogeye/Bugeye Sprite and a '64 Morris Cooper S. Both are used as occasional road cars, as well as for historic racing. I've owned the Mini since 1974 and still love diving it fast (on the track of course ;) )

Here's a couple of pics.

Welcome to the group Curly,

That's a very nice couple of cars you have there!

Although we have a very strong Mini bias here, I know of at least 3 or 4 members who have Frogeye's too.

Hi Curley.

I moved over from Yorkshire in the UK at the beginning of this year. I brought with me one of my Frogeyes and bought a '61 Morris 850 from Broken Hill.
I'm now living on the Gold Coast.
If you are ever up this way, please DO get in touch.....

It was taken at the Phillip Island GP Circuit. Trying to take a 60mph corner at 70mph resulting in a set of flat-spotted tyres. :oops:
