Sure! The Vintage Triumphs of Wisconsin and MGMGMG (I forget the acronym
but you get the drift) groups are having a lunchtime picnic Sat. 22nd at
the British corral just north of Corvette Corner. Come on down! My
newsletter says RSVP by today (Bob/Joan Houillon 414-475-0731) for the
brats & burgers count, but all SOL'ers also know RA has the best track food
in North America.
If its under 90 degrees we'll have a blue Mini with white roof, SOL and
MINI logos in window. Else a brown Nissan Stanza van-let.

Unfortunately you described the typical sad state of many Minis. A decently
Bondo'd one without Cooper pretensions will run at least $3K, an excellent
authentic Cooper is $12K+ and variants run anywhere in between. You might
want to lurk the mini-list@tibalt.supernet.ab.ca for awhile. Also MADMEN
(Mid-America Diehard Mini Enthusiasts) publishes a fantastic newletter with
nation-wide Mini-for-sale lists for $10/year. By all means go to Mini Meet
West in your area, oh oh it may have been this past weekend but I think its
next.
