Very Nice :approve::approve:

make up your mind on what strip yet?

[OBN]

Nope not yet, spoke to Dan at Menzies today, think I'll go for black, but then again maybe silver, or is it possible to fit the Saltire on the roof with a sunroof, cause then I'd go for white on the bonnet.

Too much choice!

Ask AndyP and Lenore, they got a saltire fitted to their sunroof... :D

[ianking]

I think it looks great just as it is. I really like hyper blue with a hyper blue roof.
Think I am going to get all one colour for my next mini.

[jayex]

[PACMAN]

How many minutes now :p

[OBN]

Too many minutes!!!

Hopefully picking it up on Tuesday if not will need to be Sun/Mon next week.

I do like that Saltire on the sunroof, wondering though what it looks like from the inside out.

[AndyP & Lenore]

Yo!

Car looks very nice OBN!

Saltire on the sun roof does look good, but then I'm biased.:D If you do want to get the sun roof done, speak to Carlo at Solar Glass Technologies. He did a cracking job of ours.:D:D

Thanks to Angus for posting the piccie of our roof. Been snowed under at work the past few days and didn't even see this post coming in.

A.:D

[OBN]

Cheers, whats it like with the flag on the roof, when ur inside the car?

[OBN]

Maybe I should get a Saltire on the lid of my Mini...

http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m247/OBN_2006/lid.jpg

Would go well with the Mini on my Saltire lid!

[PACMAN]

[OBN]

Naa not that special, tis M3 OBN, been valued at 600 quid so gonna flog it, plus the Mini had private plate on it too, so possibly sell that aswell and then go for a dateless one

sound like a good plate for a beemer :approve:

[OBN]

Perfect plate for someone that lives in Oban and drives an M3.

Was supposed to be M30 BN, but got fed up getting pulled for dodgy spacing

they got nothing better to do but make someone unhappy :disapprove:

[OBN]

I know, why bother catching, muggers, murders, rapists and other various psychos, when OMG I've for a space in the wrong place on my number plate

[PACMAN]

the reg plate guy told me that it doesn't matter on the space apart but the is limit on how close it can be

[OBN]

i got pulled twice, plus failed an MoT with it.

No point in arguing when u get pulled, ur never gonna win

[PACMAN]

Confession time.


I once got a lift in a Lada. OMG the embarassment

Well it was chucking it down, and it was my boss at the time offered me a lift home.

My neighbour bought a brand new skoda with alloy wheel and spoiler .... opt for the 10 year old falling to bits mini instead of get in it

before VW take over ;)

[OBN]

Used to work with a total MILF, but had to refuse a lift home because she was driving a Skoda Coupe, in baby blue with a black vinyl roof.

plus her hubby was a bit of a bear

It certainly darkens it a bit, because there's obviously less light coming in. The way Carlo did ours was he covered the sun roof in white, then applied the blue triangles. So where it's blue, from the inside, it almost looks black. Still looks good though, even from the inside.:D

A.

[OBN]

Sounds like an option,if its not too round roughly how much was it?
