seems now things are different. Recently two people have posted here for parts. I have replied to each
with what they were looking for and at a price I feel is fair. It seems both were not buyers but lookers.
Let's be honest I really don't like selling parts. I do very much enjoy buying parts. Problem is I have a
5500 sq ft building nearly full and I have begun decking the shop for additional storage. If I don't want
the wife to pay someone to junk out my entire shop after I'm gone I need to start thinning the herd.
Speaking of selling, I heard from a customer last night, he wants to sell one of the nicest MK1 Inno
1000 Coopers I have ever seen. A needs nothing car that would make someone an instant show winner.
$20,000 US contact me for contact info. Other than passing the word I'm not involved. Steve (CTR)

I have had lots of help and parts from members on here over the years and bought and sold a few minis. Still, have and use my 60 that I bought and then restored from Bruce (B-cliff) in Loveland colorado.
Good to see some old names pop up in this thread a lot of us know one and other as friends even if we have never met in person. Years of interaction on here leads to getting to know some folks pretty close.
I see travis10inch posted on the first page he sent the slider window glass for my 60 to me years ago about that time there was a tragedy in his family he posted it on here I've never met him in person but it hit me like it was my own brother every time I slide a window in my car I think about it.
Lots of stories come to mind most are happier. That one just sticks with me about how MM use to be and still is to some extent much more than just a forum maybe I'll post more later.

Thank you to Captain61? for sending me a head for the car when my factory head was beyond my means to service it.
Thank you to Ron Jernigan for the seat cover that got my interior back to factory stock with no rip
Thank you to CTR for offering help (even though some times it was harsh!)
Thank you to Jon Benoit for the center binnacle
Thank you most of all to Don for hosting this site and helping me from DAY ONE sorting out a car that sat for 20 plus years
If I forgot anyone I'm sorry but my memory is slipping. Thank you for decades of joy and enjoying my mini to the fullest. I put 40,000 miles with a grin 39,999 of those miles.

I tend to read a lot more on these forums than post though.

I wonder if Jim Guam ever got his external hinges mounted to his internal hinge doors ?

We both love the truck after replacing just about everything under it. I have 1/2 inch thick pile of packing
slips from my new best friend Rock Auto. I have made several trips with trailer and this is a good fit for us.
I hope to be making the rounds and picking up or dropping off in the spring. Steve (CTR)
Again I'm enjoying hearing from so many lost names.

I'm not quite sure when I joined this forum. Somewhere between 1999 and 2002.
Anyway, I recall the hot topic of the day when I joined was the decline of the board and how people were leaving.
