Hi Everyone

[Dessie 300]

Hi everyone, just wanted to say 'Hello', I'm new to the forum,my name is Des, I have been to a couple of the open days at Alistairs workshop, when I have been able to (I have to work a lot of weekends ),and met a few of you there,no doubt.
In my youth, I owned a mini 1000, and an innocenti mini cooper 1300, but never a Midas.
I am the owner of Q300 OBP, the blue mk 3 gold coupe thats currently undergoing a rebuild at Alistairs workshop,as I have no time ,or the facilities,to even attempt to do this myself.
The old girl is progressing, and now being put back together,Alistair is doing an excellent job for me.
I am looking forward to her being finished,and back on the road, especially as I will be giving up work soon,and have more time to enjoy the car,and bring her to some of the club events,hope to see some of you there.
Des.

Hi Des, good to hear from you on here at long last.

I've followed your car for a long time now and know it well. I'm the one who phoned Alistair one time when you were with him in his car when I'd just taken my Gold Coupe out for the first time on the roads and was ecstatic with how it handled. Mine's well and truly in need of a similar restoration to yours so I'll be one of the many who'll love to hear your first impressions when you finally get to drive your lovely restored machine.

For anyone who's been asleep over the past few years here's a photo of Des's car from a couple of years ago shortly after it's gorgeous paint job at Alistair's workshop on an Open Day..
