Welcome aboard Smurfette. It's good to know I'm not the only one...

Us NSWelshman need all the support we can get.

I think us QLDers need to start our own mini2 spotters thread!

The other thread seems to be all Sydney and Melbourne... I know I have passed a fair few minis over the months...surely there are enough of us in Bris and on the Gold Coast to post our own?! Wouldn't you like to know if any of the minis you pass and wave at were one of us?? What do you all think??

I think you are right. I pass heaps of mini's atleast 4 a day. It would be great to think you may be waving at someone that you have "spoken" with.

Why not just post in here if you see someone. I think M2 get a bit cranky if we start too many threads. I do agree that the other MINI spotting thread is too much Sydney though. Our MINI is pretty easy to spot as there are not too many Black Eye Purple around.

Hopefully we will see you on a clubMINI run soon Smurfette as there is one to Sanctuary Cove not this long weekend but the weekend after.

kyl72 · Jun 6th, 2006, 11:07 AM

Sorry that's what i meant!! LOL i meant post them in here....woops!!
hey is the run to Sanctuary Cove or Hope Island? got a PM from Ashley and he said Hope Island.....I cant make the run but was going to meet for a drink later!!

Black eye purple sounds great. I have only seen one...mayb it was you.

kyl72 · Jun 6th, 2006, 11:29 AM

Have you uploaded any photos of your car yet smurfette?? would love to see some!

smurfette · Jun 6th, 2006, 11:32 AM

I have but I am not sure how to get people to view them.

kyl72 · Jun 6th, 2006, 11:41 AM

thats ok i have found them! There is usually a little icon near your user name....but it isnt there on anyones anymore...strange...you used to just click on the little camera and it wuold open their gallery. I had to click on your username, go to public profile and found it there. I wonder what happened to the little icon??!!

Sunnybanker · Jun 6th, 2006, 11:50 AM

I must admit, I have given up waving to , or , getting Roz to flash another Mini. Most (present company excluded), other Mini drivers simply ignore, or at best think we have turned looney ! It wouldnt be because we have a Cabrio would it ?

Wont be able to make the Sanctuary Cove run as Motorline have organised their annual drive day for the same day. As we bought the car from them, and, we consider them to be great friends as well as the best dealership around.....( JCW kit...hint hint

), we will be going with them to Manly Yacht club for lunch.
We the look forward to the next Club mini run with you guys
In the meantime , if you see a nice DS MCSC with even nicer new wheels, give us a wave, we will respond

Only four more sleeps until i become an Aussie

smurfette · Jun 6th, 2006, 11:50 AM

Thanks for that. I will have to have a look. Your mini is cool.... I loike the carbonfibre door trim and your spotlights

No way Sunnybanker! I keep looking for you everytime i'm in Sunnybank, which is every 2 weeks, but haven't spotted you yet! I used to get that look from other mini drivers like I was looney but in the last month i have been receiving the very excited wave from other drivers!! Its cool and makes me laugh. One was an older lady...(in her 60's at least) and another was an older gentlemen in his late 60's i think LOL Go the oldies!!!! I keep seeing a yellow/black mini in Sunnybank but never yours!

At what stage in life are you classed as an "oldie"

be careful here kyl

kyl72 · Jun 6th, 2006, 12:21 PM

lol sunnybanker i'm not far behind......but these 2 would have been late 60's possibly into their 70's and looked like typical fuddy duddies...which made it even funnier that they were driving minis and giving the biggest most excited wave ever!!

kyl72 · Jun 6th, 2006, 12:41 PM

12 years is a LONG time.... so dont get too worried old mate LOL
