Hello everyone,
I've been lurking on these forums for a while, but now it's really time to introduce myself.
Next weekend I'll fly to London to collect the black Midas Gold that is currently offered in the For Sale section by Stuart9697.
The first time I saw a Midas Gold was during a National Mini Meeting in 2006. I was instantly hooked by the styling of the car and I wanted to learn all about it. I often saw potential Midasses for sale, but every time there was something in the way, either personal or with the car. I bombarded Dutch Midas owners Hans and Eddie with my endless questioning and they patiently helped me every time. (You guys must have thought this was an endless quest. Hans, I see you're also an active memeber here. Big thanks for your patience!)
When I saw Stuart's Midas up for sale here on the forum, I just couldn't resist contacting him. This leaded to that, and this time, there seems to be nothing in the way, and I really can't wait for Saturday, when the Midas and I will meet.
A little more about me: I'm Martine, 24 years old and currently already the proud owner of a 1989 BMW E30 325i (with the engine of a E36 325i), and a 1974 Aston Martin V8 (currently in restauration).
In the past I have owned a 1979 Pontiac Trans Am, a 1987 Trans Am and a 1965 Pontiac Bonneville Sportscoupe.
So without a doubt a real carfreak. I'm not much of a techie yet, but I'm learning more and more. I hope the Midas will also be a goor car to learn from. I'm sure it's a bit easier to work on than an Aston Martin.
Oh, and now I don't have to bug just Hans and Eddie with my questions. I'll just ask all of you through the forum
