NMS has been invited to attend the launch of the new U25 Countryman with Arnold Clark at Creiff Hydro (Time TBC) with a drive to the new Glasgow showroom.

Breakfast will be served at Creiff Hydro and then afternoon tea at the new Glasgow branch.

This is a great opportunity to see the new Countryman and a great day out with NMS I’m sure.

I’ll post further details as they become available.

As always everyone is welcome and the more the merrier

I'm available!!
Sorry I've been MIA for an age! The joys of all-consuming work and holiday saving.

Should have the windscreen replaced by then and wow, do I need to wash the car - she's been somewhat neglected the last few months.

Pop me down! Looking forward to catching up with everyone!

Gutted I'm missing this one, was properly looking forward to it too ��

Hi William,

Could you please put myself and my dad (Jim) down for this please, and we’ll both bring our own Minis?

Also would it be possible for us to meet the group at Arnold Clark for the event? We stay local so it’s a short drive for us!

Cheers!

No problems, I’ve got no idea just now of when we’ll be arriving there but I’ll try and narrow it down

Downsides of being old like yourself :smilewinkgrin:. How did you manage that?I landed wrong on the judo mat and crunch. I've been in for an op, and they have bolted it back together, and now time will tell if it works or not. But can't do any weight bearing for 6 weeks and the 50% for 6 weeks, so there is no chance I can drive with a clutch. Gutted had a track day booked at KH the weekend after this as well [emoji22]

Hi William,

I’ve had an email from Arnold Clark MINI about this now. Do we have to RSVP individually or are you just giving them numbers from NMS?

Cheers,

Is it too late to come along to this? I wouldn’t make it to Creif unfortunately but could make Glasgow for 12pm. I assume it’s the Hillingdon Park Mini centre?

Another good breakfast meet today ,did not manage to get to speak to everyone but hopefully everyone enjoyed themselves,big thanks to Callum for organising today and was good to see new Countryman certainly different from the outgoing model but some great features on the new model ,I took some pictures today and will get them up later

Thank you to everyone that came along today and a huge thanks to everyone at Arnold Clark that helped make the day a success. Breakfast and lunch where top notch who doesn’t love a bacon roll or 3.

The new Countryman takes MINI to a new level in my eyes and really steps things up. Who’d have thought that fake leather could look and feel like just as good as the real thing. Sadly I never got any photos as my phones playing up and I left the camera in the car, hopefully some of you have some good pictures.
