Hi Group

A couple of weeks ago, I posted the URL of my mini for sale on ebay. Well,
although she was bid upon she didn't reach the reserve and I put her on
again for this week.

However, my son and daughter finally persuaded me to stop the sale and now
I'm left (reluctantly - not!) with my gorgeous Cooper.

The point of putting on ebay was to raise some much needed cash and somy
question is - does anyone know of making some spare cash out of owning a
cooper without selling her???

Any serious answers would be appreciated as I didn't want to sell her in the
first place and if I don't come up with a good idea I fear she might only
have had a tempory reprieve!

Thanks in advance

Clive

I knew someone once who had his car registered with a company who worked as
agents to hire his car out to film and television companies when they needed
a mini.

I can't remember the name of the agency, but apparently it was good fun
driving on the film set and meeting the stars.

Some companies will pay you to drive daily with advertisement stickers all
over the car. The car has to be out of the ordinary (I guess a Mini would be
ok) and you have to commute through populated areas.

Blessing in disguise ;)

Are you anywhere near Manchester?

No - Cornwall; does living near Mancester help?

Possibly :)

A project I'm working on would benefit from some decent photos of
classic Minis. I might be able to offer some cash in exchange for a few
hours of picture taking, but I'd have to consult the guy I'm working for
first (he pays the bills).

Cornwall is a tad far though!

Thanks Dan,
If he wants a taste of the mini and my photos - I'm selling some mini and
cornwall orientated prints at:
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Cornish-Phoenix
I've got four pictures on there at the moment.

What photo's do you need.

I have 100's of Classic Mini shots.

Cheers
