Hello!!!

[Vee]

Hi everyone

Just a quick message to introduce myself - Veronica (my friends call me Vee) from Inchture, Perthshire.

Bought dark silver Cooper S with Hartge conversion six weeks ago and have been dying to go on a mini adventure but have had a few teething problems with car which resulted in new gearbox, clutch cylinder slave? and alternator :(

My baby is however now healthy and I am now happy and more importantly, up for any mini adventures.

Looking forward to getting to know you all.

[Linda M]

Welcome Vee :) The girls on here a pretty cool so welcome to the gang !!

[Julz]

Yee-ha, the girls are taking over, or would that be over taking?? Now the girls have a line up of JCW, BBR and Hartge!!:D:D:D

[Big Gordy]

Ah but did they all pay for them with there own money that's what I want to know. No offence meant here but most girls I know with good cars never bought them themselves 8) I know there is always the exception to the rule but cars are usually a 'bloke' thing ;)

[Vee]

car was already converted by Birds, but I bought it from Grassicks. I noticed a strange noise which started as soon as I started the car but once I put my foot on the clutch it went away - I took it into get checked and they said the slave was leaking but would replace the gearbox as a precautionary measure. When the gearbox was fitted, they didn't connect the alternator earth wire?? properly which short circuited something ??? So they replaced alternator and now the car is going fab!!

PS - I thrashed my mates Scooby last night, well chuffed!!! :D

[zimbo]

Well it looks like Vee is going to give the rest of you ladies a run for your money, what with thrashing scoobys and all... :)

Well Zimbo, I'm getting the BBR conversion in a few weeks! And YES, I paid for my BabyB all by myself!!:evil: And as Linda says, I've been a bit of a girl racer all my days;)
P.s. Vee, did I see you on the Kingsway a couple of weeks ago near the Arbroath road??:D

[Vee]

I paid for mine all by myself too - an early treat for my 30th birthday next month :)

Yeh - it could well have been me you saw on the Kingsway as I'm in and out of Dundee every day. Are you from Dundee?

[zimbo]

JULZ

Cool... :D What made you decide on BBR then, thought you were pretty keen on gettin hartge? I take it BABYB has her new clothes on now then?? :p

[Julz]

Vee, I'll answer you first, I live in Blairgowrie but work in the Ferry
and Zimbo, I decided on the BBR due to getting a very nice deal for both the mini and Robs porsche, so we're both going on the 5th of Sept., and BabyB is away getting her new outfit this week so I'm driving Herbie into work, so I'll have biceps like Arnie by the end of the week!!:clown:
