Well folks, today is the 4th anniversary of our very first post to New Mini Scotland.:D

We had picked up our R50 Cooper CVT on the 29th December 2004 and were loving the MINI adventures, but always felt a little "alone". Neil & Lorna had picked theirs up the November prior, and we used to go MINIadventuring together, but there always seemed to be something.... missing.:confused:

So at the end of February we stumbled across this site, registered, and promptly signed up for Seany's Arbroath Run.:cool: This was a huge run with over 35 MINI's and although we had a lot of fun, it's fair to say we felt a little like a fart in a spacesuit; no-one seemed to talk to us, and you all know how shy and retiring we are.:o

But we persevered, and got stuck in and low and behold, here we are 4 years on.:D

We're still shy, I still fart:eek: but we love the chats, runs, "Meats" and general camaraderie this site enjoys.:D

The fact is NMS is a huge part of our social calendar these days, and you guys have all helped to make our MINI ownership (4 MINI's and counting!) an extremely enjoyable adventure.:D

You guys ROCK!

AndyP & Lenore:D :cool:

Well, whadayaknow.....

The very first registered user was a person called miniscot who registered on 24th February 2003. The next few members registered on the 25th February 2003, so I suspect Calum got the site up and running and he registered just before midnight that night. As a webmaster, I'm familiar with burning the midnight oil trying to "get things to work".

So, whether NMS's birthday is the 24th or 25th is debatable. Probably the 25th really.
