Hmmm..Did a member search  and nothing..

 But Wheelnut46 sounds familiar... But I'm on a few other Motorcycle fourms as well...

You might possibly know him, I think he's known as 'Thulsadoom'.  I'm not sure of it, but it might be him.  If the name sounds familiar, ask him if it's him.  Could also be Wheelnut46, but I really don't know.

Jeg ..... Cool I wouldn't be a bit surprise if I know him....I use the same user name on the Valkyrie Forum...

I also make the monthly desktop wallpaper calendars  for the club,vrcc.....

Minimike1 had asked ... Did we hang out with all the oldtime players YES...

Carriage motors.. IICR was one of the shops ..

Johnny Howe was my Folks main mechanic.LOL he was alwasy telling Mom NOT to let my dad drive the cars........ Johnny would call dad Clutch Hannegan...

The one Porsche race driver was Kevin Kelly ? or Wallace ? IICR..

I can't remember the names,It was 47+ yrs ago A lot of life has gone by ...

But I can see there faces from the other shop that the folks also used...

Great bikes - My brother lives in RI, this is his Valkyrie:

Welcome aboard -

This is what I'm into for the last 14 yrs...

 Yes they are not Mini's  But just about the same size  LOL ...

My rears are 14 rims....not the 13 that mini's had...

I do my own wrenching... They are 1520 CC .

Did you get my email????

Steve....

I use to show hunters and jumpers and fox hunt...Then started breeding TB,QH and anglo arabs..

Now  just what was left over from that ..We  had moved from BlueGrass VA lived there for 20+yrs...

Then moved to current location Bastian VA... Contact I did put in the lenses I have for sale..

I'm always a little slow on filling profiles...... I see it's easy to find my parts ~ via the Social tab and go to  

cars for sale.... This forum is set way different then any other one I play on...

Do we  have a spell check here ???

I can send you pic of Porsche parts..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now  the Mini was the very first thing I ever drove  in our Driveway back on the Island..

I would have been around 10 - 12  yrs old..Never got out of 1st gear.

I wish I could have driven it more ..I was  way under age at the time...

Mom  thought it was a good idea. In case  something had happened..

I do remember pushing them a lot in the rain LOL...

We always carried a  bottle of CRC to spray the distributor cap..

I learned to love the smell of CRC ..And still like the aroma ..

And to this day when I use it .Fond memories pop in to mind..

Till next time ..

Tracy

Welcome and thanks for reminding me that once a mini lover always a mini lover. I notice you did not include contact info in your profile. My info should be in my profile. Please contact me about the porsche parts. I have recently located a barn find 71 911 and it needs more than one friend. 

Enjoyed you little story, Can relate have loved minis, porsche, and motorcycles almost all my life. Married late traveled a lot didn't have a child till age 50, still first wife and now a 15 year old high school son. I too am in Va. just about the far other end from you. Family showed and fox hunted till all to old to mount a horse. Steve (CTR)
