Hi everyone. I just took delivery of my first ever mini, i was lucky enough to get one of the new Mini Coupe Cooper SD with as much as the optional extras i could order. I must admit i love it!
Living in the Glasgow area and really keen to get to a meet up or be involved in a mini event if these things happen in my local area.

Welcome along to the site. As Stoney has said keep an eye out in the meets and social section, I do belie that the Glasgow boys and girls were talking about organising a meet up

For a new thread, you begin in the go advanced mode.
In all cases the image will be resized
Having said all this, you may prefer to keep a copy of your pictures on a hosted site anyway, it's your choice, see what works for you.

Pass a Black SD Coupe parked at HF Giffnock most days although there is one just round the corner usually parked up a drive they have a campden Mini also.

The one at HF across from the police station where it usually sits is very similar with the same wheels. I clocked it as there is so few about and I’d not even seen one regularly till I seen that one.
