New Member - JCW Owner

[alleestarr]

Hey Guys,

Just thought I'd introduce myself, I'm Allyson and I currently own an 08 plate factory jcw. I'll upload some pictures of her later.

It's nice to see so many other mini owners getting together in Scotland. I actually saw part of your convoy on the M6 last night, hence why I've joined the club!

Ciao!

[EcosseGP]

Hi Allyson welcome along and great to have you on board. "Spotted" well done that was us heading back from the MITP / MINI factory tour yesterday in "convoy mode" although it depends who you saw on the M6 as a few took that rather than the M6 toll by mistake !! :)
Look forward to seeing the photos ...

Hi Allyson. Welcome to NMS

I'm guessing your car was the British Racing Green JCW we passed not long before the border ;)
And we know who to thank for you knowing who we were :P definitely Andrew :lol:

Nice to see you've joined and as Mentioned I can't wait to see the photos.

Great to have you onboard :)

Hi Allyson, welcome to NMS.

I guess you spotted the sticker on my rear bumper! Chances are I was at the back of the convoy at that point as well.

Looking forward to seeing some photos :thumbs up:

Welcome to NMS. I take it you were the lady that passed us giving us all a big wave?

[cuddles]

Welcome to the madness of NMS we are a friendly lot xx

[mini mad andy]

Welcome to NMS.

[alleestarr]

Ahh I wasn't travelling in my Mini unfortunately, I was in my other halfs vehicle!

Yeah it was the nice big bumper sticker that we noticed as you went past us, somewhere around Carlisle I think!

This is my beaut, she's called Pepper (original I know haha)

5343

This was from the day I got her last July and I've changed the plates over since then, she's quite an understated Works but I like the fact she blends in!

Also, thankyou all for being so friendly and welcoming, it's nice to know there's other Mini fans out there too!!

[Eddie_JCW]

Very nice! Sometimes blending in would be good but it's very difficult in my JCW :lol:

[alleestarr]

Your Mini looks awesome though Eddie!!

A few better pictures of Pepper!

[Eddie_JCW]

Thanks :) to be fair there isn't a MINI on here that doesn't look awesome :yes nod:

[Eddie_JCW]

Oh you have silver wheels too :thumbs up: black's too common :P

[alleestarr]

You make a very good point!

And yes, the silver wheels just looked so much better on the car.... However I have a list of mods and parts I'd like to change on the exterior but unfortunately they have to wait until my funds permit me haha!

[Eddie_JCW]

Don't we all :lol: I said I wasn't going to touch mine, I lied :oops: well I didn't, I just got introduced to a bad influence, didn't I William!!

[DigitalLemming]

Great looking car, will keep an eye out for you when I'm out and about :)

I wasn't going to touch mine either, then I met this lot and got all sorts of ideas! One thing leads to another and before you know it you lose hours on eBay looking at parts :thumbs up:

[Craig]

Very nice car :)

[alleestarr]

Thanks guys!

Buying my Works was the best decision I've made... And surprisingly my insurance wasn't too crippling which was a pleasant surprise!

[Neil - TXJ]

Looking good and welcome.

[Eddie]

Hi :)

[alleestarr]

Hey and Hey! Thanks :)

[EcosseGP]

Cracking wee JCW in what Craig will tell you is the best colour. Love the silver wheels over the usual black ones on PW. Oh no you don't want to hang about here too long we love spending folks money changing bits :):)

[Craig]

If course it's the best colour - eh William ? :)

[Eddie_JCW]

If Allyson's is called Pepper I know what we'll be calling Craig's :lol:

Allyson I agree me getting my JCW was the best decision I ever made also! And my insurance is the lowest it's ever been for any car I've had. They're also surprisingly good on fuel I got 40.9 mpg coming up from Oxford with sport on most of the way and certain people at the front with no Cruise Control :lol:

[EcosseGP]

I was looking at yours for a wee while as we ran level for a couple of miles yesterday Eddie and it looks great with those big brakes behind the silver R112s. Cruise control .. it's the future and saves getting a sore foot eh Craig ?

[MINI William]

Don't we all :lol: I said I wasn't going to touch mine, I lied :oops: well I didn't, I just got introduced to a bad influence, didn't I William!!

:yes nod: And you've never looked back :thumbs up:

[jonnie]

Great looking car Allyson. Where abouts are you?

[EcosseGP]

^^ says Glasgow on her profile Jonnie

Haha! Trust me, I do a pretty good job of spending money without the influence of others... I can imagine this will only be worse for my bank card! :)

The best I've managed to get out mines is about 44mpg on a straight motorway run, it sort of makes up for the dismal mpg performance around town haha!
