Hello to all from X MINIMAN now into Landys.

Hi all I thought it would be the right thing to do to say hello to you all. I am an X Mini Fan but after a horrific accident 3 years ago I have been converted to a good Strong British Motor a LANDROVER. + they are more fun.

I was in a very bad accident with a Leyland daf 16 seater minibus which finaly made me get out of the Mini scene ( Well when I got out of the once very nice car ).

I was a passanger in a very tidy Mini 1000 when on a bend ( In Keighley Yorkshire ) it just give up holding the road and slid sideways into an oncoming minibus at about 70MPH. I was trapped in the car with my legs forced over into the drivers pedals and my body trapped under the door with a minibus on top of that. The ambulance driver told me when I WALKED out of AIREDALE GENERAL HOSPITAL that " You are the luckiest person I have ever met " that coming from a ambulance driver was the end of the small car scene. So now I am here to get into the big fun of the Landy and I will see some of you at Burnley this year. Look out for the Series 3 with the short ar*e. New to it but I am sure you will find I am not scared to try owt.

Hi Miniman.

I used to be into the mini scene many years ago. Got fed up of the top engine mounts going on them and the fact that they rust away from underneath you.

Now got a Disco. Much safer.
