Marcel: Glad you stopped by.
Weird that your photo doesn't show up (for me anyway) in your post but does in the quote editor but only while editing. (It IS a great shot of a red/white Mini in nothing but snow.)
OK, I was able to download the image to my desktop and re-upload it with the BGB (big green button).

I'm throughly enjoying your top-notch videos. If this Mini parts thing doesn't work out for you, I think you have a great future in video production.       Please keep 'em coming.

Mark Dykstra is a Vancouver Mini Club Member and Tony Latham (in the footage) was at our club meeting last night to talk about the West Coast Rally Assoc. 'Thunderbird' event and other rallies such as the 'Totem'.

Mark has been keen to enter rallying after extensive volunteering and we have been keen to support & encourage him.  Mark is a real enthusiast.

Mark and Sandy Dykstra moved from Montreal to BC in the late 1980's Mark took my half mini trailer with him... Glad to see his boys all grown up and having fun with their dad. ..

Excellent video. Makes me want to get the Mini out of hibernation and go play in the snow. Huge thanks!
BTW I got a glimpse of the old Canadian style heater fan sitting above the clutch.

Last week we went up to Merrit British Columbia to document our friend Mark’s journey as he competed in the Thunderbird rally in his classic mini. Its 1000 klm of forest service roads, covered in ice, in -15c weather, and was an absolute blast! We made this movie about it, please check it out!
