    Hi

    Moved to Aberdeen yesterday and brought my 2003 Cooper S in silver with black stripes with me. Keen to get involved in any meets and events and will hopefully join on the 14th of October for the run if that's ok.

    Has anyone done any track days at Knockhill? My car is standard at the moment but would love to get involved with this. I did the Nurburgring a few weeks ago and have been hooked.

    Also, do you do any stands or runs to car shows?

    Cheers

    Mike

    Welcome to the Site!

    There is usually a few runs or meets arranged over the year and I know a few have been to car shows etc and have had a NMS stand or up to go to Knockhill for the MINI racing. It’s getting to the end of the season so there may only be a few things in the works but credit to the site and the members who make an effort to keep things like runs ticking over year after year.


    Always nice to see wee pic of your car to introduce yourself (edit the plate out) and its all good.
    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!

    Hopefully that should of uploaded the photos ok? After 550 miles to get here I thought it was due a clean before I took them.

    The event at Knockhill on the 30th of September looks pretty good depending on what your into. They are hosting BDC which I have seen at Castle Combe, Donnington and Brands Hatch and is usually pretty good to watch. Here's the link for it: http://motorsport-events.knockhill.c...mpionships.php

    Give me a shout if anyone is driving down from Aberdeen or wants to join on the way.

    Was anyone driving a GP North on the A90 yesterday that ruined a silver S?
