Did you even read what I wrote? I dont hide behind my badge, its my job, and whats does that have to do with threatening or promoting a police officer to be killed or hurt. 

CooperTune, it's cool, there always tough guys that hide behind there computers. He has no clue what I do, or how many stolen cars I've recovered and minis I saved, helping people out with getting there cars and paper work corrected, but it's cool. If he feels good about threating or promoting a police officers life, then so be it. 

flea you are out of line and don't know what you are talking about. Your thinly vailed threat is not wise either. If you have an issure with the man send him an email don't bother us with it here. Steve (CTR)

why dont you tell him what your real intentions are gtamini. pretending to be his friend while what you really are going to do is **** him. all this so you can look good at you government/taxpayer job. on day you going to pull thi stunt on the wrong person and your going to find yourself in a situation that you will nt be able to get out of.I hope to hear about it

Minice, sure i love to check out your mini. It's a 1992. What year does it state on the registration paper work from DMV.

I think word of mouth is the best way to go.

Did you look under Social at Tuners and shops in your area ? Might be someone close by for you. Just a thought.

.....or just get a Haynes manual and just fix it yourself, ( that's what they always tell me here, lol)

seriously, go to meet up.com and search classic mini owners..im sure one or two clubs or even shops will show up.. good luck.

have you driven your mini to Malibu or big sur? try it

Vouching for Jorn in SFV... he already did some work for my mini... ultimately, a botched attempt equates to more $$$ & time...

If your in the San Fernando, Santa Clarita or Antelope Valleys then you should try Dave Hubbard. Very easy to talk to, great prices and knowlede.  He builds race mini's, but will also work on your mini.  With six Mini's i have to watch my cost and my time. If you want his contact info then send me an email.

I would also love the name of the Garden Grove connection.  I agree that Heratige is too expensive for my budget.

For those who don't know him Jorn has been working on Minis for better then 34 years.  Him and Jay Weinstein originally built mine in '78 in Canoga Park. Welcome to the board Jorn.  Check out the link below to see what my mini looked like 34 years ago and what it looks like today.

You get what you pay for. If you can't afford repairs or do it yourself you need to move on.

I am still in business on a limited basis and work by appointment only in Northridge / Los Angeles.  What kind of work do you need?  Interesting misspelling of my name.

hey salexander... do you think i can get information on your buddy in garden grove? 

There is a Mini mechanic named Bjorn ouli (spelling?), out in the valley, I don't know if he is still in business, and there is APT out in Riverside or Berdoo.  Bill Gearcase's shop in Costa Mesa is called Mintec. I have a Mini Savy mechanic friend in Garden Grove, who might be the cheapest route.  If it is something not too involved, Maybe I could help you, especially if you help with the "bending over and crawling under", but again, Costa Mesa location.

what do you need to have done?

Hey ls2imprs, could you tell me which mechanic you went with? And how it went?
