    Hey folks, I'm new. Be nice 😉
    Been trying to get a mini for a while but life seemed to get in the way. Finally just bought my first mini, went for a Mini Cooper 1.6 07 plate. Never thought a car could make me so happy haha! Really does make the commute to work fun :) I live in fife, scotland and would love to get in touch with anyone willing to guide me in the right direction when it comes to my mods and where I'm going wrong etc. Thanks in advance, Hannah

    Welcome to NMS Hannah

    As Craig says we're largely a friendly bunch and won't bite! We'll reduce your bank balance but thats about it - keep an eye out for William, he's responsible for most of my spending

    Post some photos of your car when you've got a sec as well

    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    Without a shadow of a doubt ... But we all love it !
    Don't be worried about having a "standard" car Hannah the club isn't just about the car it's about the owners too. :)

    So I see....it's payday in 3hours and I'm busy searching the net for my first mini modifications ready to buy on the stroke of midnight �� :) I'm also looking for a wheel refurb guy. My wheels look like they've been refurbed alreadyand pretty shoddily,theres not a kerb mark in sight but it's like they've left the wheel nuts covers off and waters got in under the lacquer and bubbling "/ not good
