    Hi folks! ✌🏼️ Was told to join this site after joining the NewMiniScotland page on Facebook. Was looking for a daily car that could push all the right buttons and put a smile on my face every time I drove it. I looked at a few different cars then ended up sat behind the wheel of an 09 plate JCW, 2 weeks later that very car was sat in my driveway 👍🏼

    I will no doubt be on here looking for info on specialist places/recommendations on upgrades etc, and of course will keep everyone updated as I go 😊
    Look forward to meeting everyone and can hopefully tag along when you have some events/meets arranged!

    Cheers,
    Gavin

    Welcome Gavin you're in the right place if you want us to spend your money lol.
    I don't believe in changing what MINI perfected but plenty on here that do

    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.
