Thought I would introduce Myself

Hello, I`m Nikki (aka Birdog).
The first 4 cars I owned were minis, thats the old ausitn ones, and if I being comletely honest, when BMW bought the name and released their own version I wasn`t very impressed, but that was about 10 years ago now.

A few weeks ago me and my wife were out, just window shoping.....for cars, no real intention of buying, just didn`t have much else to do that day.........well......we ended up in the beemer garage.
The next day I picked up my brand spankin new mini cooper S, black, goes like ****, when the supercharger gets going it makes that same whine as the old minis, and I like that they sampled the noise that the old mini indicators make.

Thinking about putting viper stripes on it, but I cant decided on the colour, and whatever colour I decided I`m going to make all the internal lights and dial lights the same.

Anyway, I`ll stop now.

All the best

Birdog
