Hi all - long time lurker first time poster here
Live up in the Adelaide hills, don't currently have a split but am keeping my eyes open for something that suits.
Currently have a Mini Cooper S that is under resto and in bare metal and a 1960's Vespa.
Dad had a beetle when I was young so would like to get something air cooled again.
Have always enjoyed the build threads here - nothing short of amazing on a few of them with the turnaround of how little metal there was left.
Will try and contribute a bit more to the forum now

Welcome aboard as it were!
Sounds like and interesting stable already. Any pics of the Vespa and/or Mini?
We're all a bit slow on here and like to look at the pics.

Have found a picture of the vespa without the windscreen for those that are interested.
Purchased it from the original owner and it was well looked after

We all like pictures
Now some of the mini's
The first is a Cooper S replica race car from something that was raced in the 1960's in the UK, 1310cc engine with weber
The second is the Cooper S that is slowly getting finished - this is as purchased
And during stripping

Top stuff. I'm a huge fan of both. I'd have a vespa but my fat arse would break it. We do have a Rover Mini though. Love it to bits.

Great stuff - I am at McLaren Vale so just around the corner. Good luck with your hunt...
No matter what happens they can't take you out in the street and shoot you......
