Hi

[Steph]

Hi fellow mini fanatics,

I've had my Cooper almost 3 years now - fell hopelessly obsessed when I attended the launch weekend at my local BMW dealer and had a test drive. It's been the best car I have ever had (except for maybe my first car long ago which was a Mini Italian Job in electric blue), and I can't imagine ever selling. It's the only car I've bought from new that I will actually have to take through an MOT!
The only problem I have is that I do abysmally low miles, so hopefully I can get involved in some mini runs. Otherwise I have no hope of reaching the next service interval before the 5yr tlc expires.

Welcome to NMS Steph :cool:

[MartinSullivan]

Welcome to NMS Steph, sit back and enjoy the ride. Keep your eye on the Mini Meets section and come along to any that take your fancy

[Big Col]

Hiya Steph. I think you can ask the dealer to carry out a service yearly if you want to. Hopefully Big Gordy will pop in and tell you 'cos I walk more miles in a week than his car does. :)

[Big Gordy]

Howdy Steph :D welcome to the nuthoose. I too am a low mileage mini owner. Alright I'll come clean my WIFE is a low mileage mini owner :I 4500 miles in 16months :disapprove: Menzies told me just to bring it in at 18months even if we've not reached the required mileage :p:D:approve:

And that's saying something!!;)

What's your mini like Steph, so that the rest of the Dundee mob can keep an eye out for you! I work in Dundee and have the big fat EB S that has a very dirrrrrty bottom at the moment:eek::evil:

[seany]

hello

[X30YES]

Hi Steph ...welcome NMS and some fun

[Starky]

Hiya!

[Steph]

Thanks for the welcome,

My Cooper is red with white roof, wings and wheels. Has the chilli pack and a sunroof. Interior is red, grey and silver. Number plate is very similar to my name (complete coincidence).
I have almost managed to reach 12,500 miles in 3 years. Very sad, but I'm only 10mins drive from work. Just feel I haven't given my mini enough adventures :disapprove:. I have browsed the Meets section, but not plunged yet.
Going into garage on Monday night to get strange grinding noise I hear on first right turn of the day investigated. Probably brake discs\pads. On my cars they tend to corrode faster than getting worn down by normal braking!
Julz, I have probably seen you. In fact, maybe that was you that flashed me a couple of days ago! I think on the Perth road? Do you have white bonnet stripes? Memory is bit hazy.

Hello Steph. I hope you join us on a run soon!

[Jeff]

Hello Steph isn't red a fine colour!

[Julz]

Probably was me, I tend to flash at everyone <oo-er> and yes, I do have bonnet stripes!!:clown:

[duncan]

Hi Steph, I've propbably seen you around Dundee - I'm a Westender :)

[zimbo]

Hi Steph, welcome to NMS good to see another person from Dundee area on here... I stay in Monifieth. Hope to see you on a run soon. :D

[Duncan Stewart]

Hi Steph & welcome to NMS. Come along on a run - they are great fun :D

[Sheilz]

Hi Steph. I'm addicted to driving my min, have done 6,500 in 7 weeks. did 13,500 in 4 mths in my last one. Keep promising the primera that I will give her a wash and brush down and take her for a spin but I just never seem to get past Wee Eck. i think its the way he winks at me. He has a smiley face while Daisy looks more and more dejected by the day.
:D:D:D:D

[Eggy7496]

Hi Steph, WOW Sheilz that some milage, didnt know that was even possible lol

[The Dogfather]

Sheilz

May I suggest a diesel MINI, newmachar motors have one!

[Sheilz]

I think I should have gone diesel. It amazes me that I manage to find time to work! Keep telling myself I'll stop going out so often BUT...son number two finally managed to wrench the keys from my tightly knotted fist so I dont envisage lower mileage over the coming weeks though we might manage a meagre saving due to time wasted battling over whose turn it is!
:D:D:D

[Burple]

Hey Steph... welcome to the Nuthouse! Grab a straitjacket!
Just noticed this thread (been off on hols a bit in the last few weeks!) :D
Good to see another Dundonian join the ranks!
If you see a shiny all-white Cooper scooting about on your travels, gis a wave!! :D:D:p

[Steph]

Red is definitely the best colour, though I love blue and purple as well.
I am feeling so green - checked out the photos from the 3 Lothians run - so many cool minis - I want 'em all!
I guess the EBCS that you could just about fit a piece of paper under was Julz's wee star? Why do I have this urge to spend money on skirts?

If you see me - please wave/flash first - I just can't cope with the feelings of rejection (sob) if I wave and the MINI driver doesn't respond 8)

Mmmmmm depends on what kind of flash you mean?? ;) ha ha...
you can be assured that us Dundee lot, myself,Low n loud1, KJ & Duncan will definately wave or flash as required :D

[Steph]

Whatever you're most comfortable with - a quick flick of the stalk, or a drawn out blinder - I don't mind :eek::I
