Hallo everybody, my name is Paul Lips, I am a Dutch citizen living between Montecarlo and Milano (not the worst cities for Mini addicts!  ) and involved in Mini's for too many years I'd like to remember. My first "real" Mini was mine in 1980, my first Cooper in 1982 and Cooper S in the same year. I now have 7 Minis: A series 300 Inno Cooper export, a standard Austin Cooper S 1071 (since 1984!), a Mk1 Wolseley Hornet with a friend, a 1965 Radford converted Cooper S, an old Cooper S racer, and 2 ex-works cars: ORX7F and just got GRX555D. And then some models and Mini paraphernalia, about 300, but only obsolete, and specializing in the Hong Kong "toy" cars in plastic. Uh, well, I also have a family...

Hi Paul, Welcome to the forum. You might recognise a few names from the MCR forums, so you're amongst friends. 
Had a good look at ORX at Race Retro, its a credit to you, and I look forward to seeing GRX one day.
My name's Ian and I'm a Miniholic.
