Welcome aboard Nick, good to see another member in the Aberdeen area. If you see me around give us a wave (electric blue Cooper S with UJ wing mirrors).

Pop over to the newminiscotland store and order your car sticker, so you can install it as soon as you get your car

[Julz]

Shame you won't have your new car in time for Cullen!!:disapprove: Not long for you now though and we'll hopefully see you on a mini adventure soon!!;):D

[Nick]

Yes cant wait to get it on the road. Wow I dodnt realise the new mini had such a fan club. I used to own a Lotus Elise but sold it for the mini, the Lotus guys are always having meets and track days. Good to see Mini owners are equally keen!

[Julz]

Awwww dinnae say that!! I opted for my mini over an Elise, but I still want one (one day I suppose, so where did I leave that lottery ticket??:p):D

[Monsta Mo Mini]

Welcome to NMS Nick - you're our 500th member!

[MartinSullivan]

Woo Hoo - we have hit the magic 500, does he get a prize MMM :D

[Nick]

yes whats my prize?!?..

I was told this works cooper s is faster in a straight line than my old Elise,and almost as fun to drive, I hope it is, I have gone and bought one and havnt even had a test drive!!

hi nick, i have the works and you wont be sorry, sorry you cant join us on the cullen run, but there is a club stand at the scottish mini weekend on 7th and 8th aug at perth. you are welcome along and put names to face.

[Nick]

Thanks for all the friendly replies. Yes I will have to make sure I attend one of the run's, it will be nice to meet like minded people.

I have seen a few Cooper S's kicking around Aberdeen, they seem to be quite popular, theres a couple here in Portlethen where I work.

Are you putting down a challenge, Nick? :eek:I'll see you down at Aberdeen's Beach Boulevard at sundown...if you can hack the pace! ;):cool:

[X30YES]

£50 Quid on OZ !!!!;)

[Nick]

he he he.............well Nenah im afraid i'm a bit old to be racing down at the beach!

New works kit that I am receiving is giving me a whole 10hp more than old.........(woopy!)........would have thought that it should bee enough to eclipse a car fittes with a bbr 220 kit.......;) Im sure works car is far torquier??

I'd love 250+ bhp but there was no way I was going to spend the money i have on a new car and void the warranty, so i will have to make do with the 210!

Sounds like your getting yourself a very nice set of wheels indeed! I want to increase mine to 240bhp but there's plenty of time for that...look forward to see you and your new wheels on a run soon or maybe on one of the Aberdeen Mini-Mini meets that we've started to get happening on a regular basis.

[The Dogfather]

What's the phrase about power corrupting...

[sleepyrascal]

Aright Nick. SOunds like a bad ass machine you have ordered. I feel so left out with my standard Cooper. I'll have to invest soon in some performance-ness. But then its all about the technical driving skill at the end of the day, so actually, i'm fine! :0)
