Hello There From East Kilbride

[gusc524]

Hi There,

Just a quick message to say hi and introduce myself to the New Mini Scotland Forum.

Three weeks ago, I got the keys to a new Mini and I am absolutely happy with the car. My dad was so amazed with the car that he has just put in a order for a Mini.

My last car was a Volkswagen Polo - which was a nice car, but was not that quick :-)

I am looking forward to driving the car up in the roads in the Highlands of Scotland.

Thanks,

Gusc524

hey!!!:welcome:

[gusc524]

Thanks for the warm welcome!

I have got a British Racing Green, Mini One, with a couple of Optional Extras. There is scope in modifying it, however it is my intention to keep it for a couple of years before I can afford a Cooper S.

My first project is to get a Chrome Front Grille and Exhaust Pipe End added to the car.

it is a terrible afliction. The thing is you mod then once it looks just as you wanted you sell it for a newer/faster one.

Big wave :bigwave: I'm up at EK three times a week so might see you about. I go to yon John right centre.

As for your Grill, your the opposite from me, I keep thinking I like the black grills over my one. You can just have to much chrome at times. ;)


Cars looking great not a great deal of green about. :thumbs up:

Again many thanks for all your welcomes. :thumbs up:

I choose BRG because it was always my dream to own a E-type Jaguar in that colour and I just thought when I ordered my Mini that I could fulfill half of that dream! Also because as there are not too many Greens about, I just wanted to be different ;)

However, today I did today notice a new BRG Cooper driving about in EK - so I'm probably now not the only Green in the "Village" :cool:

Anyway, I am going up to Glencoe next weekend, so I am looking forward to "rallying" it up the A82 :D

Hope the weather is good. I had Fort William done and dusted in the first few weeks of ownership, had to be done. :D

Hi Gordy,

I live in the Calderwood area of East Kilbride.

[G17RDY]

Ah Calderwood, i spent many a summer on the pitch and putt!!!!

I actually had a load of friends in Calderwood, as we all went to Claremont, ah those were the days!!

[gusc524]

I only been living in Calderwood for the last couple of years.

I lived for most of my time in the other side of EK and I attended Duncanrig Secondary.

The pitch and putt is still there, however these days it seems to be the place where the local neds hang about :sad:

Anyway, the mini is going to get it's first thrash up to Glencoe this weekend, lets hope that the roads are quiet :smilewinkgrin:

[J444 JNY]

:welcome:

I live in East Kilbride as well so keep a look out for my wee silver and black cooper (plate J444 JNY).

I also attended Duncanrig Secondary

Again many thanks for your welcomes.

I have already seen countdowns silver S a couple of times in my travels.

In terms of the BRG's, I seen another one this morning - so there must be a few more greens than I thought :cool:
