Minispares or Minisport

I'm just about to start buying quite a few parts and I will try to get many at Jonspeed (as there are local to me and I've had good service) but I think I'm going to have use some of the other "big players" such as Minispares and Minisport.
Anyone got any recommendations ?
Cheers
Dave

Hello Dave, I bought lots of small items such as gaskets and bushes etc from Minispares, you can browse their website select the bits you want and they arrive in the post in a couple of days.

Minispares for me... only 'cause I've just gotta walk over the road to their store in Oldbury.. 
Have bought from Mini Sport too.. keep your eye on "special offers".. I've picked up things like hubs at a fraction of the retail price when they put them on offer..

For me, Minispares aren't exactly over the road but a trip to Potters Bar is cheaper than the postage... I've always had good service from them. I expect the other main suppliers are similar. They're run by enthusiasts, after all.

If you register on The Mini Forum (http://www.theminiforum.co.uk/forums/index.php?) you get discount at mini spares. Simon who works for them is a member on the forum. You'll have to have a look through the site for where it explains about how to get the discount!
