Newbie just saying 'Hi'

Hi,

Just wanted to post to say hello to all the other MINI mad people on MINI2

I had a 53 One and upgraded to a 03 Cooper S last November and still have a constant everytime I drive it - it really is a brilliant car and I honestly don't see myself driving any other make of car for a long time to come.

I'll be keeping an eye out for local(ish) MINI meets/runs as I love being involved in those sort of days/events - so if there are any local people out there get in touch, would be great to know when the next meet/run is.

Susan

Hi Susan and welcome! You should have no problem at all finding a local run soon, seems to be a lot of them in the spring.

Hiya Susan!

Welcome to MINI2

Thought with a name like yours, and an avatar like mine, it'd be extremely rude not to say hi

Hopefully see you at a run soon - there are plenty in the calendar, so keep an eye out

Mmm, definitely one of the best colour combos Saw one at the dealers today, and it just looks so right! And the R90s are F.A.B. too - have you had any trouble with corrosion?

My Checkmate has heated Recaros, and the heat just spoils you rotten - it's hard to sit in anything else now

There are sections for just about everything else on here, so we could probably start up a Chicken Register if you sort yourself with a chooky avatar

I have had a slight bit of corrosion on one alloy but its not too bad, I bought them as a refurbed set anyway for a bargain price and they are most definitely FAB! lol

My mission for the evening is to find a chicken avatar now

It's not just addicted to m2, it's everything else too, like seeing this shiny bit or that go-faster bit that you just MUST have...
