Hi everyone!

[Hillfam]

Hi I have just bought the car I should have bought a few years ago. A R53 GP1. Been enjoying it so far. Had a history of minis from a mini one to a copper s checkmate that we sold when my family are young. My son now drives a new cooper s after I suggested he would enjoy it. Looking forward to some tips on making the most of my new old car! Cheers

Congratulations on finally getting the one you were after. :yes nod:

We have an owner's gallery if you'd like to stick up some pics of either car and there's a run this weekend led by one of our members.

If you'd like to come along just let us know in the run thread. :thumbs up:

Welcome to NMS always had a soft spot for an R53 GP

[Hillfam]

Thanks. Can’t make Sunday but would be interested in future runs. Are their any good independent mini garages in Scotland? The care was serviced by 1320 in May so I’m ok for a while but just interested to know what is available here?

I long with others use B&M Centre in Glasgow, used them for a good while now and always great work carried out.
