Time: 7pm
Location: Makro - Take it from there

If you can't make that date please suggest others:thumbs up:

Good of you to get things going Ben!

I work Thursday nights although should be able to sort something out, may also be able to get my mate with us with his camera/tripod etc?

Are you up for a meet at Dundee Cruise in September? Im away to start a thread as last year was relatively good with the 5 Minis in attendance

Cheers

[Smitty]

Hey Guys

Any chance we could make it the Wednesday night? I'm heading up North on the Thursday for a 4 day holiday/car cleaning spree but would be up for meeting a few of the Aberdeen crew :D

[Forbes]

I am unable to make Wed but as i say i want to have a few meets with different locations, but whatever date the majority can make will be the night

[Forbes]

Good to hear it... i will add you to the list

[dellie]

My partner (Voodoo on the aberdeen sites) does almost professional photography, he could be able to help out

[Forbes]

That would be great:thumbs up: Few of us are taking ours anyway, but by the sounds of it none of us are good:blush:

[dellie]

His photo's are really good, he's looking to start up his own business soon, if he is nice he will get his new camera for his birthday :-P

[Forbes]

I am going to pinch my Dad's, its good but am not. Few people coming this month, so should be good

[RyanK]

[Forbes]

Glad to hear it

[Aberdeen Al]

Plan is to have another next month:thumbs up: Lets hope you can make that one

[RyanK]

oooh 1320 autos ... bet the car is going to be f-in raaaaaapid!!!!

[Aberdeen Al]

oooh 1320 autos ... bet the car is going to be f-in raaaaaapid!!!!

Milltek exhaust is completely shagged - getting replaced under warranty - averaging 18mpg probably due to both O2 sensors also being shagged!

I'll just have to wait & see when I pick it back up ;)

:eek: That is not good, i am almost double that due to driving more sensibly recently. Hope it all gets fixed soon for you though

[t18tav]

i am coming home early so i will be able to make this:thumbs up:

[Forbes]

Like 3 weeks early? Good to hear it though, will add you

[t18tav]

ye i know the job went a lot quiker than we all thought which is good cos i means i can put some faces to some of the names on here lol

[Forbes]

That's Great news though. Well think we should have a few different types of the New Minis there. Just cross our fingers for the weather

[Gismo]

Just wanted to thank you guys for taking the time to set this up.

Looking forward to seeing the finished shots, one wee thing, if you're taking multiple shots of the same image, then, just send in the best one :thumbs up:

Also, don't be scared to move the cars around etc

[Forbes]

Plan is to have lots of people taking different photos in different locations, but if Dellie's partner is there it will probably be his photos. Even just sending the best one the sponsor will be snowed under with Aberdeen photos (metaphorically speaking).

You not going to make a short journey up the A90 to join us?

[Gismo]

You not going to make a short journey up the A90 to join us?I'm not in the UK :hand:

[Forbes]

:frown:Well you the plan is to have other meets in later months:thumbs up:

[RyanK]

I would easy compensate with the 18mpg for the noise of your car...well maybe not, 18mpg is less than me dad gets in his amg lol and you are getting it in a Mini!

Post the performance results etc once finished please :thumbs up:

If sending multiple pictures to me you might want to split them up over a few messages to save my system rejecting them for being too big ;)

[t18tav]

this is a good one shame we cant use it as your car aint really in it lol

[Sheilz]

Sorry I didn't get along. On holiday this week so out and about doing stuff with the wee one. Didnt get back from Edinburgh till about 10pm. Anyway that's just an excuse because I wasn't aware that today is Thurs and didnt check the thread to know the meet was tonight so even if I'd been at home, still wouldnt have been there. Good to see the weather cleared up a bit to let you get some photos.

[dellie]

this is a good one shame we cant use it as your car aint really in it lol

Technically it is - you can part of the side :D

[RyanK]

I will post my pics later, albeit they are from my phone
