First mini run

finally getting right into the mini experiance and joined my first run today . it was fantastic . the oggy run was well organised and gave me the thirst off doing plenty more can't wait for the next. this begs me to ask where was you first mini run and how much did it make you change your enthusiasum into possibly obsession for you car (manly cos i got alot of attention with my car )

Well my first mini run was the oggy run yesterday too. I just love the look on other people's faces as you pass, although I think we may have annoyed a few other motorists at times!

bishjnr, hope your rear bumper is all fixed now!

Mine was on the 2nd day of ownership of CoopRaNite but i'd made an impression at a MMM. I turned up in a Audi A3 we had ... it's a long story and one i'd like to forget but hey the MINI runs were fab

Hope you have many more great runs

My first run was also yesterday on the Oggy Run. Fantastic will definately do it again, shifts permitting. Met some great people and got some great ideas for mods on the mini.

Well done to all who organised the event!

My first MINI run was a couple of weekends ago to Himley Hall. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and am looking for more to go on. Already signed up for MITP, TRAX and Cotswolds '05.

I'm still quite new to the whole MINI scene, so be gentle.

Also met a girl I really like through MINI2mini, so it's been really good joining the MINI scene.

Hope to see some of you guys soon. You will know which is IZZY (my MINI). Silk Green, !17" bullet alloys and the last digits of the reg. are 1 ZZY.

I'm sure some piccies of a certain Maniac who got stuck in some mud will surface soon .

I turned up to the first Chilterns Run back in Jan 2003 - my car was also 2 days old and got absolutely filthy!

Was that when the certain person wished that he'd gone down the Quattro route?
