Hi, had a mini for a while now but just getting into the forum. Lots of good posts from what I've seen so far.:)

Live in Aviemore at the moment but moving nearer to Aberdeen soon, hope to meet up with some mini's in Aberdeen area when we get there.

Mini Coopers S Chili. Dark Silver Met, Chrome Exterior, mirrors. White lights. Plus a few bits extra inside.:D

Thanks Everyone,

Seany, you say you are in Aviemore a lot with work. Do you use your mini, as I would probably have seen it about? We are in Tesco quite often. The mini is packed away in the Garage a lot at the moment but I am sure you will see us going about.

Fontal, I work on the BP Miller as a Mechanical Operations Tech. Going out to Azerbaijan shortly to work out there.

Hi Colin and welcome to NMS. Helen and I are up in Aviemore a lot as her folks live in Kincraig. Think I might have seen your car parked in Aviemore before.

Duncan, I do believe I have passed you once or twice in Aviemore. Most of the time when I am in Aviemore I am not actually in the Mini so it would be a bit stupid to flash or wave as mini drivers would wonder what I was flashing for.:I I have done it by accident a few times though. Don't know if I should say what my other vehicle is as it is certainly opposite to the Mini.

So do you give the mini a good run when you are in the area? If so where do you go or if you want I can let you know my favorites in the area.

Loads of good roads around there - I like the old A9 from Kingussie to Kincraig - great Mini road. Took my classic Mini from Aviemore, over the Lecht to Aberdeen last year - great fun.

I do like the Lecht road to Aberdeen myself for a bit of fun. Another favorite of mine is the road over the Dava Moor to Nairn through Grantown and back Via Loch an Dorb through Carr Bridge, with a stop off for Sunday lunch at the Newton Hotel in Nairn. Highly recommended.

Thanks Willie, like your site and can see you are definitely nut about your mini's.

Hope to meet you all on one of the runs one day, unfortunately I am offshore for the St Andrew meet.
