MINI2

Wobert · Jun 26th, 2004, 08:05 PM

As a North Walian MINI2er I see plenty of MINIs on the road around where I live.......some even wave too......

Over the past year or so, a group of MINI owners have started meeting up on a monthly basis, meeting at a local pub for lunch, followed by a run out in the countryside........

If you would like to join us, just post your details on the thread......

We also have our own website now...... http://www.northwalesmini2.com/

Anyone is welcome to join us.......just post on the thread to say HELLO!

Cheers,

Robert

Wobert · Jun 28th, 2004, 06:47 AM

There must be some other peeps on here from North Wales.......surely..........????

Robert

bubblegoose · Jun 29th, 2004, 07:23 PM

C'mon guys & girls -
Wobert did an absolutely awesome North Wales run for our gang in the North West of England earlier on this year!! If this all kicks off I can assure you he'll prob. do the same again

Top run by a top bloke

Hope all is well Wobert! Not spoken to you in a while......Take it easy matey

Dave

Wobert · Jun 29th, 2004, 07:34 PM

Well thank-you Dave......

Yep I'd like to re-run my NE Wales run again..........I know there are some fantastic roads around here, and further west too.........the road from Bala to Trawsfynydd takes some beating........and all it needs is half a dozen North Wales peeps to make it happen......I see loads of MINIs on the roads round here.......just a pity none of the owners appear to visit MINI2.com......

Update since Feb........

Busy doing some mods to my MCS.........fitted a pair of spotlights.......gonna get a set of silver bonnet stripes, and a two tone silver UJ for the roof.......hmmmm......the chrome line interior looks good too........Dave......any idea on pricing as a retrofit?????

Gotta fit it all in now as the missus is expecting again.......fortunately we have a kiddie wagon too........so I don't have to sell my car......

Cheers for the nice comments..........

Robert

bubblegoose · Jun 29th, 2004, 07:56 PM

You can prob. expect to pay 3/400 quid I would think?!?!

Congrats on the great news BTW

When is she due??

If/When you have something planned for another Wales run - Please PM me or post it in the North West Minis Thread.
It would be great to meet up with you soon

Is another Blackpool run on the cards?! (Family commitments permitting

)

See you soon,
Dave

\\chrome// · Jun 29th, 2004, 08:11 PM

Congrats btw

Answering your questions in strict order........

300 quid for what is an 80 quid option......OUCH........better forget that one then......

Beginning of December.......bit too close to my b'day on the 8th.........

Yep, sure will do...........

Well, I'd like to do another Blackpool run.......depends whether there's demand for it......after last years little escapade with the Sat nite traffic.......and the detour into Lytham..........will definately have a back up plan if I do decide to do one....so to speak.

Cheers,

Robert

Wobert · Jun 29th, 2004, 08:59 PM

ZERO North Wales peeps.........

COME ON YOU GUYS!

Wobert · Jun 30th, 2004, 06:44 PM

Still no interest........??????

There's no hope for some people methinks......

Robert

Tone · Jul 1st, 2004, 02:47 AM

Just a thought.

In Jan '03 I posted a thread asking if anyone in Dorset was interested in doing runs/having a meet/whatever.

No. of replies? Zilch. Not even a murmur.

Now - thanks to Max and the guys - there's more stuff than you can shake a stick at.

So, Robert, keep at it mate.

Cheers for the comments Tone......

I did a search of members with a location of North Wales.......got 5 potentials.......I've PM'd them to see if there is any interest........

I'm sure once the ball gets rolling it'll maintain some momentum.......it's getting it going that's the difficult part.

Where in Dorset are you......my nan used to live in Swanage.........

Not been there for at least 15 yrs..........must go again some time........aye them were the days........afternoons spent in the penny arcade!

Robert

dyfrigroberts · Jul 1st, 2004, 09:28 PM

Im from North Wales quite central to everywhere 40 mins from Chester and about 45 from Anglesey in a nice place with plenty of nice roads

Being an motorclub member I have used many of the best MINI driving roads of North Wales

Id be up for a meet of my fellow MINI owners

Wobert · Jul 1st, 2004, 09:37 PM

Cheers for the response Dyfrig........let you be the first of a few more!!!!

Robert

NotTheOracle · Jul 2nd, 2004, 08:08 AM

Hi Wobert,

Count me in! And thanks for the PM - unfortunately I don't check the MINI2 forums all that often any more, so the PM worked great otherwise I'd have missed this thread. I check once in a while to see if there is any sign of an up and coming meet, so glad the ball has started rolling again.

I'm from just outside Mold, drive a silver Cooper S (that's back in the dealer for yet more things to be fixed today!). I've not been on any Mini meet before, the first meet happened before I picked up the car.

I'd really look forward to a meet, and like you say, there's so many more Mini's in North Wales - if only you can get hold of them... shame to waste the roads!

Matt

Wobert · Jul 2nd, 2004, 08:23 AM

Hi NTO,

Thanx for the response.......I'll update the first post.........we're now upto 3........

ANNYMORE FOR ANYMORE!

Robert

dyfrigroberts · Jul 2nd, 2004, 04:30 PM

I live in Denbigh not far from Mold used a few roads around mold and chester to do a few events with the motorclub

Only had my MINI a month now so not had time to explore

NotTheOracle · Jul 2nd, 2004, 07:12 PM

I'm up round denbigh quite a lot, I love the A543. Have just been for a little drive around Ruthin and back - my Mini was in to have some things fixed today and also had V38 installed so wanted to test that, apparantely much smoother...

Flashed/waved at 3 Mini's tonight and not one did anything back...

bubblegoose · Jul 3rd, 2004, 05:32 PM
