"It's the fun factor. Like a go-kart that you can legally take on the road and drive at 110[km/h]," Mr Peachey said.

The president of the Riverina Mini Car Club has spent his life admiring the vintage classics.

Now he gets to tinker with them, drive them and own them.

"Everyone's got a story about the Mini, it doesn't matter where you go, someone will share something with you," Mr Peachey said.

"They've just been around for so long and they're iconic. They're full of memories. It's not just a form of transport."

Over the weekend Mr Peachey joined a team of other car-enthusiasts in driving across the region for the Mini Muster.

It was one of the first events the team has been able to host this year due to the COVID-19 restrictions.

On Saturday, the Muster saw up to 32 cars line up at the Visitor Information Centre on Tarcutta Street for the show'n'shine.

Being central to traffic through the heart of the city helped to draw a crowd of passersby to the event as well.

"It was one of the best we've seen in many years, twice as many showed up this year than last year," Mr Peachey said.

Some drivers and their families joined the parade from as far as Canberra, Lake Cargelligo and Bowral.

"It doesn't matter where you go, if you've got that many Minis coming down the street, people smile and point," Mr Peachey said.

"It's like a freight train of Mini cars, it gets people's attention."
