....... of our mini adventure:sad:

Well sad day today that's a deal struck to trade in our Paceman. We have been thinking for a while now that the two cars were not working for us and I have been getting frustrated in not being able to take care of two cars the way I would like. What with photographic commitments elderly parents and other issues the time has come to make some changes.

The door will be left ajar just in case we decide in the future that a mini will once again be part of our life.

We have had a great time with our mini's and have enjoyed the mini runs and mini meets.

Most of all we have enjoyed meeting many of you folks and have made some lasting friendships.

All the best Stephen and Allyson

Sorry to hear that you're having to give up the MINI but fingers crossed should circumstances dictate you may well find yourself back in a wee buggy again :)

A sad day indeed to one of our most travelled couples' to runs and meets. I know we will keep in touch and I had a feeling the detail on the Paceman was a parting gift :)

You will always be welcome on any of the runs I organise regardless of what you drive as through the years you and Allyson have become friends.

Remember that offer stands :thumbs up:

I hope you will still be on the forum and at Mini Easts Meets.

What car have you gone for? Are you sticking with the X3 or trading both in for a new car?

Sorry to hear the news, but look forward to seeing you both on runs, despite what car your driving. For similar reasons, think we may part with our Clubman soon.
