How did you get into the Mini Scene?
My first car was a Mini and when I bought a copy of MiniWorld a whole wonderful world of Minis was opened up to me. I joined a Mini club, went to loads of shows and made loads of great friends and quickly got hooked on the whole scene.
How many Minis have you owned?
Five
When did you start working for MiniWorld?
In January 2001 I started working for MiniWorld and it has been fantastic. I've met so many cool people and been to some wonderful places. The power of the Mini never ceases to amaze me. Language is no barrier when it comes to communicating with Mini fans.
Favourite Mini memory?
So many! IMMs are always amazing if they're not wet and muddy, the Italian Job is fantastic, Mini convoys make me smile and I guess Japan Mini Day was one major highlight.
What are your current Mini projects?
My other half Jim and I have been working on his Mk2 turbo since 2001, it's a retro Mk1 looker with full rollcage and ICE install. We hope to have it finished soon. The Riley Elf needs new wheels, arches, Maniflow exhaust and twin carbs fitted when I get a mo. The Clubby Estate is still in the bodyshop getting loads of panels replaced.
