I've been tried to acknowledge every Mini I've seen, so only one or to waves/flashes.

no offence to the aberdeen lot, but even the gigs i've done up there people seem to not want to be interested unless you are from aberdeen. i dont know if its cos Aberdeen is away up on its own or what :P

Was it green? i dont have a private plate but i have massive wheels. lol.

Mine is no. 14 but I choose the number, I wanted 4 but I'd missed that, should have been 5!!

Fantastic plate though!!;):D Thought you might have chosen SHE3P!!

In surviving that close call with the sheep with the death wish I think Ewe ;) might be right! I really wanted 220BBR plates. I never got to ask you on the weekend what No. your car was - I've got lots of questions to ask you about your the conversion next time I see you.:)

I was down the beach the other night and followed a Indi Blue Cooper S and a Black Cooper S round for a little bit.

Not sure of the Black but the blue registration was R18 TAV.

We flashed and waved quite a few times at each other much to my delight !!:D

Also saw a red Cooper S With black bonnet stripes and black mesh grill who also waved.

I noticed that not all Aberdeen mini's wave though which is very sad and annoying :mad:

look forward to seeing some of you out and about soon

AberdeenMini

28th July 2004, 05:09 AM

I have to admit i rarely wave, i used to but i never got much (if any) replies, most folk probably thought i was nuts or something :I We should all meet up and go racing on the strip! :D

The Dogfather

28th July 2004, 05:21 AM

Just a thought but perhaps our usernames could also include our reg no. or at least part of it. That way when we see a Mini we could do a search to see if it's someone at NMS? eg. Bad Dog Mini (53KCY)

Sheilz

28th July 2004, 06:47 AM

There's an awfa lot of very aloof mini drivers in Aberdeen. My Hamish is SW04 CVC, Indie blue with saltire,and is a very friendly chap, but on the 7th August S9 ECY lec blue will be jaunting around town to show off his saltire. I think this one will be a boy too though I'm not sure if he'll be Hamish. Guess I'll have to wait until I see him.
Hi there to the chap I spoke to at the Shell garage, hope you enjoyed the Cullen run. I was miffed that I'd to work instead.
:D:D

Nenah

28th July 2004, 04:58 PM

Bad Dog Mini I agree - but I cannot seem to change my username in the Profile section to include my plate - anyone know how to do this?

I think the Aberdeen NMS should meet up down the Boule and give those Ned raceers a run for their money!

I saw two silver minis about town yesterday - young female drivers - I waved but they snubbed me - but I'm going to keep passing forward and manybe we'll start to change the attitude of these unfriedly drivers.

X30YES

28th July 2004, 05:05 PM

NP Oz or no worries mate !!!!:cool: as you would say ...Just ask Calum and he will wave his magic wand !!!!
I will go down the beach next week in Abz before I go offshore and see if I get flashed at ;)!!

MartinSullivan

28th July 2004, 05:07 PM

When I first got my S, everyone flashed and waved - but now I guess there are a lot more Mini's on the road and not all the drivers have been educated in the ways of the Mini. Like Nenah says if we keep it up maybe we will convert some of them.

Nenah, Monsta Mo can change your user name for you - flutter your eye lashes at him :cool:

Should have gone for 5HUG as a reg Sheilz :D would have given the wee chap a name right away .

The Dogfather

29th July 2004, 01:04 AM

You on the Brents then?

Monday evening is fine with me, who else?

We should group up well out of the way - like far end of the beach then do a full procession along the boulie, up union st etc.

Anyone fancy drinks/food before or after?

The Dogfather

29th July 2004, 05:16 AM

Might be able to make it on Monday Evening, but I would have prefered a weekend meet.

29th July 2004, 05:52 AM

If I can get a shift swap I will come out to play too. Pressing business to attend to ahemm!
Someone suggested 'Wee Eck' for 'the bairn'. Am thinking about letting the kids at work choose his name. They are just as enthusiastic about his arrival as me. The list for 'hurls' grows by the day!
:D:D:D
Can someone confirm if this is a definite because I will have to be proactive tomorrow to manage this. OK?

Hooroo Angus - T-shirt is mighty fine if not a bit large but i feel very Gallus vearing it! See you Monday evening for the mini-mini-meet

Suggestions for where to meet anyone? My 2 pence: If we're going to eat and drink maybe Ferryhill Pub/Prince Regent/Dutch Mill as they have car parks or just at The Beach for the drive-by and then on for food? 6.30pm-7.00pm?

Sheilz

29th July 2004, 06:28 AM

Haven't been in the Dutch Mill since I was a student/barmaid. I think it was the recycled slops (I kid not) that put me off patronizing it!:(

Nenah

29th July 2004, 06:31 AM

Agreed Sheilz, scratch that one. I'm not an Aberdonian so I'm looking to you guys for suggestions! Then again, I've never eaten there and never will now!

MartinSullivan

29th July 2004, 06:33 AM

Thanks Sheilz for saving us from that one - glad to say I have never eaten at the Dutch Mill either

DNV122

29th July 2004, 06:36 AM

I'm up for this - Monday night is OK (going on leave mid week, so may not stay for long - go to pack), but we can always do this another time - after Cullen, driving down the beach is a doddle...

Sheilz - it was me you met at the Shell garage washing car in prep. Its filthy now, so you may see me at the garage again !

MartinSullivan

29th July 2004, 06:39 AM

Ok what about the tipping hatter as a start or end point??? Not eaten there for a while but the food used to be pretty good with plenty of choice and its right at the end of the beach road.

Menu is here if u want to cast your eyes over it.

That sound fine with me BUT where is it!! Cant believe I've lived her for x years and dont know where it is. Will this be to eat before or after? Where's monkimagic? He's an Aberdonian as well. Hey Paddy, can you make it or are you working? Did i see you at the Bridge of Dee quite recently on your way home from work?

oh and a flash from you :D

I pulled up next to a grey cooper S at Holburn St junction and he slowed down just to give me a biggest teethy grin I've ever seen...the sad part is, it made my day!...until I got your flash Martin!! Stuff the snubbers/foogies - we'll convert them to happy mini people yet - Keep on flashing Aberdonians!:D

Sheilz

29th July 2004, 07:28 AM

He maybe thought you were trying to pick him up! I think some folk are just too far up themselves. Yesterday I passed an older woman in Garthdee driving a green mini, think it had a white roof. Anyway her grin went from lug to lug. I was just about to flash her when I realised I was driving a Polo :I:I. No wonder she gave me the smuggest look ever. My mortification was complete at the bottom of Broomhill Rd when I found myself in a 4 car line of Polos and the wifie(I'm speaking serious wifie, wifie) in front of me gave me a knowing smile. I wanted to holler and scream - "I'm not! I'm not! My hair does not go with the Polo. I'm coordinated - funky hair, funky car!" Roll on Friday.

One of the girls at work appeared this morning with a cs. Once Hamish had finished frolicking about it- woa down boy - I asked if she'd like to come along on Monday. Will confirm if she is able to join us. Jenni bought her dark grey cs privately and had not been properly indoctrinated into the way of the mini. I have rectfired this situation.
