This old clunker sat for ages in someone’s backyard near where we walk, along a dirt road next to a gently flowing creek. It sat next to another old mini in a similar state of decrepitude. Because these beauties sat at the back of a ‘bush block’ there were no fences as such, so I would whip out whatever camera I happened to be carrying at the time (never leave home without a camera!) and take a shot. Only last week we went past again only to see the rusting minis had been removed *sigh* so it goes…
This image was my contribution to the exhibition ‘RESPECT’ a benefit exhibition to show our appreciation for this man, which is currently open at the New North Galleries in Fairfield, Melbourne. You can read more about it here.

BUGGER… I thought is was in honour of me.. the old tired mechanic…LOL. Good shot Cam
Great shot. My first proper girlfriend had a mini, which we got stuck in a ditch once. Probably best we say no more about that incident!
the plastic lens is perfect for this old thing.
A little paint, a spare motor, we can have it up and running in no time…. Great photo
perfect object for a camera like that… grrreat feeling!
