We own WKS T MCS! Glad you like the wheels, they are are black 18" JCW R105's. You can get them from your local friendly Mini dealer for about £1600 with Bridgestone Potenza runflat tyres.

It was good to finally put some faces to the names, although I didn't recognise any of your cars which is odd as there are lots of mini's around here, perhaps they don't know about this forum? We'll have to change that, we need window stickers to promote our cause!!!

So how about a Midnight Run around the M25 then? We could meet at South Mimms Service Station and maybe pick more minis up along the way?

So what do we think then people?

P & T.


So what do we think?

I think its a cool idea, probably need another thread starting for it, wouldn't it be nice to go around the M25 without stopping.

You won't recognise mine - I'm the foreigner from Hampshire Sticks out like a sore thumb though, usually the only Cool Blue Convertible on a run (unless Wizgleesons there too ).

Midnight M25 run sounds fun Complete with some sychronised driving displays?

We'd have to have a lucky run, even last night at 11.30 I hit traffic round by Heathrow

So clockwise or anti-clockwise?

We drove it late last Saturday night, starting at about 10.30pm and saw hardly any traffic, unusual I know! We drove clockwise around so we could go over the bridge and then you get to drive the long sweeping bends under the M23.

I reckon Midnight on a Saturday would be the best time to go as the M25 is at its quietest then?

Is this starting to sound like an idea?

No worries, sorry for the speed bumps and speed cameras in Harpenden, its been a while since I had been down those roads.

Hehe, when I said I want them, I forgot to mention I have no money as it is Ah well once the Aero is on it'll set the S Spokes off nicely Thing is I love yours in black, but not sure if I'd want the all black look or go for the polished R105s, what do you think??

Ummm well I will admit to speccing up an S today and getting an insurance quote for one (which was actually quite good) Its all Neil's fault and that friend of his Miles

The Dooper order is staying put though
