Hi,
This is a new section where I would really appreciate it if members would introduce themselves. Hopefully it will give us all a better idea of who is who & what each member is interested in.
So here goes . . . . .
A few of the posters on here will know me already
I'm Mark F, a long time Mini fan who started the MK1 Performance Conversions site way back in 1999, bloody hell that's 13 years ago!
My main Mini interests are early cars their performance tuning & modification, I have also made a bit of a specialist subject out of the tuning companies that carried out the work.
Mini wise, I currently own A 1070cc Mini Sprint a mildly tuned 1961 850 & when I can be bothered I am restoring an original Speedwell 1275 Cooper S that was their main demonstrator for over 3 years. I drive a VW Scirroco as my day to day car & also own a 1943 Willys Jeep. Some of the other Minis I have owned are a 1071cc Hillclimber, a Speedwell Modified 1152 Super Deluxe, a Shorrock Supercharged Traveller, a Moke fitted with an Alexander 7 port X Flow head, a 1071cc Historic Racer, a MK1 1070 S, a MK2 1275 S & a MK3 S.
What I enjoy about this hobby is having a good crack with friends, getting antiquated bits of engineering working again & helping other enthusiasts out where I can. What I dislike about this hobby are loud mouth knowitalls & bullies be they verbal or physical, sadly I have met both types in this hobby.
I look forward to hearing a bit from my fellow members.
