Today my son and grandbaby are coming from Colorado to visit for a week.

 

It's a 1963 Austin Mini Pickup. I don't think any of them were an automatic but that doesn't mean you couldn't swap it out for an auto tranny. Besides how could you not have a stick shift in a workhorse of a truck like that. I've seen them sell for between $5,000 and $22,000. I paid $$$$ for mine. The pickups usually sell for more than a regular classic because there are not as many of those around. There were made from 1961 to 1982 and I think just over 57,000 of them.

I was thinking of getting the ***** that hang down that I've seen on some other pickups but I would have to get the smaller pair so they wouldn't drag on the ground.

That would happen about as soon as skittles, (dang rented fingers) I mean skillet would get his "FREE" mini.

How long ago was this and is it still there? I'm always looking for spare pickups or parts for it. I will be in Miami next weekend so who knows what I'll find.

 

Hey CC where in Colorado ? My son and his family live in Co Springs...I love going there to visit.

 

Aww!! How cute!! I thought the baby looked tired at the beginning, and near the end there I thought the sand man had won out!

 

Awww, CC I read your post from my email and didn't see the video ,,, I just now watched it, she is a sweetheart,, I agree with MC Will that she acts ready for beddy bye!!

 

Thanks to this thread, I am now in 5th gear.

 

Thank you thread... I am in 4th!

Skimmed through and will be back... and no I'm not going to check to see if I'm blonde!

So does it end at #2009?

 

No.

 

There is only one way to end this thread, and I'm not even sure that would work.

 

wow,, I am in 4th also!! And H*l* no it doesn't end at 2009,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, does it??
Skillet, shake off the blues and get on here and say hi??

 

You guys are definitely right on par with the "Random THoughts" and the "Even More Random Thoughts" threads!!! But gotta love ya'll.

 

Heh heh,,, and we have you tangled up right in here with us,,,, our plan is working..... world domination, one poster at a time.........

 

I'm not even sure that some of these count as "thoughts."

 

Well, yes and no. It depends on who is posting and when. EMRThread is more of a conversation of weird thoughts, but thoughts nonetheless. Everyone's definition of "Weird" and "Random" are pretty subjective.

 

Maybe this is how the grandma drove the mini.

So how much of this story do you believe? Was there ever a mini? Was there ever a "grandma"?

 

Afternoon everyone! What's new?

 

Hey sika, nice to see you here (and on CN as well).

 

I've got my suspicion - no. Someone already pointed out she's pulled a parts scam on other people before. Seems like she gets cars and sells of parts and does who knows what with cars. I wonder if the banks end up holding the bag?

 

CN's a nice place, good people!

 

Now that is some fancy driving!! That reminds me of a reining competition.

Now remember that I am new to this classic mini stuff, but that had to be a rea wheel drive, right? I guess front wheel drive is a rather new option....

 

Indeed!

I just noticed in your sig how long it took your MINI to go into production! What's up with that?

 

Hi silka!! What is CN?

 

Well, after watching her offer to sell just about everything and anything on the other forums it occerred to me why, all of a sudden would she offer up a classic mini, supposedly mint-- for free?? But gosh I really wanted to believe- initially that she was really as well off as she claims and that she wanted to give it to a good home, I also wonder if she was actually scamming, as someone mentioned earlier for someone to send her money for "shipping"

 

Happy Birthday sikamini!!!
