OI!!!! Enough of the anti-aberdonian squabble!! grrr.

WELCOME Aimeeeeeeeeeeee. Is this going to be your first Mini Cooper? If it is, you will love it! Its worth going out to a meet in Aberdeen some time, even just to meet evryone. I went for the first time lastnight and learnt more about Minis in one hour than I have over the past 3 months since I bought mine. >CHEERS GUYS<.

See you later, SR

No not got it yet, car itself is sitting in garage but they 'new' works kit only got released with a part number on Monday. Reason being is that they are staying inline with the power hike given to the standard S. I have been informed by the garage I will have 210bhp (which probably wont be noticeable but anyway..........)

I am hoping I will get it this weekend, but if not then defo next!

[aimee_s]

awesome!! sounds like a pretty mean machine you'll have soon..hopefully this weekend eh!

[Nick]

yes well hopefully!

You excited about your September delivery?!?

What colour is it and whats the spec??

Nick

[aimee_s]

VERY excited!!!
its a black cooper, black roof, chrome mirrors,chili pack,silver dash etc. red/black cloth leather seats....already got my mate organised to tint the windows when it arrives, just tryin to decide on a head unit right now.....CANT WAIT!!!
any adive on head units btw..? was lookin at a sony, and also pioneer...any opinions..?

[The Dogfather]

Go for an alpine if you can afford it! You need to get in touch with John he'll give you some advice on what to fit and he's based in Aberdeen.

It's a shame you're not getting your car till September as we have a small run on the 21st August (Chip butty quest). Perhaps you could cadge a lift from someone? I'd offer but me missus will be riding shot gun on this one......

[aimee_s]

cool,thanx ill try speak to this john person.....search him out soon!
lol..better no mess with your missus if shes called shotgun, that would have been cool though!

Aimee - I'll be cruising solo to thr meet as my man is in Alaska - so if you want to get a taste of the good life to show u whats in stall for your delivery, let me know. Unless....sleepyeeerascal wants to offer you a ride....;)

[sleepyrascal]

Thanks for offering my services Nenah. Do I need to give you extra polos for acting as my agent or is it a free-bee:D? haha. And whats this about you offering lifts in your car, IM FIRST, IM FIRST!!!!

If Aimeeeeee wants a lift to a meet, I should be flying solo for the next month or so and she would be more than welcome. But Aimeee, you need to go through my agent remember;)! What Uni/college you at Aimeee. what are you studying:question:

[aimee_s]

Yeah - I'm pimping my ride to dizzles a wizzle, up in the hizzle Fo' shizzle bizzl...snoopdogg eat your heart out!;)

Hey, maybe there should be a lonely hearts thread on NMS!:kiss:

[sleepyrascal]

A lonely hearts section so you cant pimp your way to a bling bling bad ass reputation Nenah! I suppose it would go with the car! Just just need to get those hydrolic springs n sh*t! And maybe some black face paint would be da bomb! You need a nic-name too. Do that porn star name thing where you take you first pets name, and your mothers maiden name. Or your second pets name, and your friend's pet's name. SO I would be Fluffy Macleod, or Tison Jade. I think I prefer Tison Jade!

Im at RGU, BSc Design for Digital Media. Currently stuck in the house doing Java programing. I'm supposed to be on summer hols, Its doing my head in! Anybody know anything about JAVA?? AAAHHHHHHH!

Well Aimee thats you sorted for a ride until September. Might be interested in that head unit your selling. i'll get back to you on that one before Saturday.

BIG UP
TISON JADE .. BO

Java Coffee

Java Coffee The Dutch planted the first Arabica trees in Java early in coffee's history. It's name has become synonymous with coffee in the U.S., and is often the standard for which all other coffees are measured. Java's finest golden beans are roasted to yield a piquant aroma. Java displays an exquisite acid balance, a medium body with hints of chocolate-like undertones and a quicker finish than Sumatran.


:D

[aimee_s]

Java...Java...jaffa cakes is about the closest thing i could help you with there! sounds a bit too confoosing for me!
thats cool then, I got myself sorted for a chip butty in a few weeks time in your pimped out ride! sad news though....head unit was sold yesterday.! first guy that called, and there hadnt been much other interest in it (actually, there was no other interest in it) so its gone!! theres a new model of it out now anyway...much better i reckon ;)

[sleepyrascal]

OH NO!! Well looks like ill just have to fork out for some new ice after all. Need new speakers n stuff anyway. My cooper is more or less standard at the moment so I need to start getting some work done on it.

Thanks for the insight into java coffee Martin. Knew I could count on you for quality advice! I'll never look at nescafe again!

Know any good placed for Ice? Its something I have never dealt with much before. What about installation. I could do it myself im sure but its probably better to get the pros to do it!

Sorry couldnt resist the coffee gag - I am a software engineer - but I havent done any Java for quite a while, might be able to help you out if you are really stuck though.

For ICE nip over to Mini2 and search for a guy called Mikeythemini - or visit his on line shop at www.newministuff.co.uk. He will sell you a kit of all the adapters etc that you need to fit a "real" stereo in your mini. Also on Mini2 are some good "how to" guides on how to remove your old unit and install your new ice (there are also some good ones on Mikeys site). Mikey is really helpful and will answer any questions you might have. He did the install in Bonnie Scotlands car, which is excellent and I have bought a load of stuff from him as have many others on here.

I fitted a clarion dvd player, screen and cd changer in my car - its not too bad to do - everything comes out pretty easily.

[sleepyrascal]

Nice one Martin! I'll have a look for Mikey. As for the Java, basically I have to program an applet which runs as a picture puzzle. You know those things where you have a picture cut into sections, and you have to slide the sections around to re-create the jumbled picture. It sounds easier than it is!

Another thing. I had a sugestion for a big future mini run. Will you have a look and tell me what you think. If you think its a crap idea then thats cool. I just want opinions! Just look for my second reply on the thread. http://www.newminiscotland.co.uk/snitzforums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2368

[MartinSullivan]

Euan, no probs with the ICE stuff, if you are still struggling with Java let me know - can maybe crack it together. I read your post about the "big runs" and agree with you, would be a lot of work involved but I think it could be done

[Nenah]

You need a nic-name too. Do that porn star name thing where you take you first pets name, and your mothers maiden name. !

....mmm...then you can call me Misty Fox - my dogs name was misty and my mum's maiident name is Fox - RESPEK!:cool:

[aimee_s]

just emailed Mikey asking for some help with HU's as well...sure he will love me with all my daft questions! i had kinda narrowed it down to 3 different ones- Sony CDXF7700, Pioneer DEHP7600 or Kenwood KDCW6527 SE....if anyone has, or knows of folk who have these units and can give any opinions Id be very happy!

[MartinSullivan]

Ok there is a thread over on mini2 for people to post pics of their head unit installs - might give you some ideas of what looks cool etc

http://www.mini2.com/forum/showthread.php?t=60533

Hope this helps

[The Dogfather]

What no Alpine? :eek: Where's john when you need him!

Porn Star name - Elliott Barker - And he is.......:clown:

[sleepyrascal]

Tison Jade = Sleep Rascal
