We borrowed it off Nissan for the weekend so we had all 3 types of models present.
Mr T......Remember this ..."The Brick" ??
It was found in a paddock and has been totally re-built

You can actually say you had all 4 - P10, P11 with Kidney grille, P11 with Infiniti grille and P12

:thinkerg::D

Borrowed a P12 from Nissan!!!! :hehe: :hehehe: :lol2: Where can I do that? And not a gutless 140hp Spanish-built one too!!! :P

Anyway, good to see the pics, I guess you had a great time.

Nice Pics Warren.

And it isn't cool being at a car show behind the scenes. It's a lot more involving than just being a vistor, and the exhibitionist badge can be VERY usefull. (like free food, at least there was at Hamilton :D )


And its interesting to see all the Primera models lined up next to each other.
Shows the progesion in design, and IMO inhances the Renult look of the latest model. (i.e it has Curves! :eek: and an almost Renult coperate grill)

good cars and great pics there P-Man...looks like you had a good time :D

Nice pics Pman:)


Those Primera's are drool worthy.:p

Thanks for the pics PM. There are some sharp looking rides there.

I feel the need to ask for more info on this thing...:D

i think that it has to deal with when Taranaki had the signature and avatars of one of his favorite movies where these 2 guys are driving in this little yellow beater trying to get somewhere to get to one of the guys girlfriends or something...and in order to get money to sustain the big trek, they start to sell parts off of the car...and towards the end of the film, there's alot of stuff missing off the car and whatnot ...but that was the little yellow beater that was in it in fact that was the car that they were using probably.....and if i'm wrong about it then correct me, because i think that i went on that like that Mr. T had put up about it back like 5 months ago maybe i'm not sure...i'm really tryin 2 remember, but i'm reaching back and i'm just grasping...but there were pics that i remember of it ..the 2 guys...one had some curly ass hair and i think some groucho mark glasses with the fake nose and moustache and whatnot...and the other dude had one of those old leather aviator helmet thingies with the leather straps and the aviator goggles...another one where they were driving with the police behind them...and one where the car was parked and the whole front body panels were gone....the engine was just sticking out, the headlights were relocated towards where the rear-view mirrors would be, and no doors....but i still might be missing the whole thing entirely of which at least give me some credit because i remember some of this kinda stuff i think....

close....but no:bandit: cigar!

'the brick' was a legendary speedway mini in it's time at our local track...at the time,most drivers were running huge v8's etc,and front-wheel drive racers were virtually unheard of.On a tight oval,the Mini made a huge impact for its sheer balls,and made huge inroads into the saloon car championships of its time.Fortunately the 'saloon'racing class is a 'minimum contact'code,I don't think it would ever have been raced had the rules been full contact.

The 'other' yellow Mini,which I had in my sig,was from the movie "GOODBYE,PORK PIE".Yous synopsis of the film is amazingly accurate and detailed,and I take my hat off to you....now sit down!

Out of curiosity......The Red P11 is yours right?????

yip the red p11 is mine :) .......theres more pics of it at our club site in the memberspage but they are slightly out of date now as the car has tints as well and has been dyno tuned so that little piece of info isnt there, 122kw at engine up 26kw from standard :)...... also about to get a huge stereo install going so once that is all done some fresh pics will be taken :)....

and yes i did read the fan site, which i might add was pretty informative..now those primera's on the other hand are beautiful machines...kinda makes me a lil jealous and i sometimes wonder if i should move to New Zealand one day and become a Kiwi myself, but then i remember that we have better tv shows:p

Yep...thats the Moonmans.......i think there are a few on there from our club now.:)

yip it was on there for a wee while but i took it off after one guy started to really bag it and turn nasty as all the comments on rate my ride seem to do.......so i got mag and turbo to remove it......seems alot of people i have talked to have done the same thing.....i got no problems with some criticsm about ya car or what ever but ya get sick of the "get a rotor" comments and the "sell the nanas car" after awhile.
