I've been lost in cyber space somewhere!! I've been trying to get back into the website for ages but to no avail!! Can't even spot that I was ever here in the first place now that I am eventually back. Seemingly I'm one that was lost when the server crashed!! :(

Just in case you have forgotten me, I'm Kirsty!! Wee yellow mini one, with nothing special apart from SALT pack and chrome bumpers, from Fife!!:kiss:

Hope the run up north goes well this weekend I'd love to join in one of these days!! I'll keep my eyes open for the next run!!:)

Getting more waves now, especially on my way to work in Falkirk!! Maybe it's people here who have seen me moaning about the lack of other minis waving back!! Keeps me happy!!!:D

Look forward to hearing all the news about this coming weekend!!
Enjoy!!:cool:

I was sitting next to a possible Blue Apple at Moodie Street traffic lights in Dunfermline the other night, possibly last week!! Didn't notice thought until the lights went green and by that time it was too late to wave!! You??

Could have been Kirsty, but cannot recall seeing you. Recently I have had a few waves from other MINIs around Dunfermline and in Fife generally, which is a pleasant change.
Keep a look out for the IB/W Cooper with a white Apple badge on the boot.

Cheers

Hi again Kirsty - unfortunately EVERYTHING posted between 28th August and end of September was lost and that included new members. We're only just getting back to what it was before the crash!

Thank you for all your welcome backs, it's nice to be missed!! I'll need to do something to my mini to make her more noticable so that people know it's me!! I originally got a yellow one cause it was a colour of mini that I hadn't seen much of on the roads but now they seem to be everywhere!! Anyone got any suggestions?? (bearing in mind that I'm a single girl with a mortgage to pay!!!) HEE HEE!!!

Good idea!! How much do they cost and do all MINI dealers have a good selection to choose from??

Hi, try John at Apex Signs in Edinburgh, apex.signs@virgin.net, i was £167 for a union jack, he fitted it in around 1-1/2 hours, preferred this route as the dealer is dearer.

Hope that helps

I got checks on my roof for about £137 and as Bonnie says bmw are way more expensive, you could also go for bonnet stripes which will only set u back around 40 quid.

Brilliant thank you very much Bonnie Scotland and Macblob!!:D I popped into BMW in Kirkcaldy yesterday but they didn't have any information that they could give me so I think I might have a nose on the net and contact apex signs to get some ideas!! I had been swithering whether to get the Saltire on my roof but not sure how it would look on my wee yellow one!!?? I've seen it on a dark blue MINI and it looks really smart!!:cool:
I shall keep you posted and probably ask for some knowledgable advice!! HEE HEE!!! (wouldn't want to mess up my wee MINI!!:()

Hi Kirsty,

Ive been talking to John at Apex for a while too, and they do stuff to your own specification - which probably means colours too ! You could be the only person with a yellow Saltire ! I liked the cooperflags.com site, dead easy to see their designs - theres a rather cool flower one, my husband wasnt keen though....

Hi Kirsty thought I would just say hello. If you have any thoughts on what you might like to do with the car just let me know and I can do a layout for you and e-mail it back. The girl who works with me would love to design a flower or something a bit girlie for a change.:)

Kirsty

Brilliant!!! Thank you all so much!! The yellow saltire sounds good, hadn't thought about it in a different colour!! Macblob's roof looks really good too!! I have a tatoo of piglet on my foot (the original type of drawing, blowing a dandilion clock) had thought about that too!! Would that be girlie enough John?? Hee Hee!!

Hey Kirsty Welcome aboard the ship of madness. I think will have to get a smoking jacket and change my name to Hugh, if any more bunny's come on board!! :D
