Getting to know each other??

[DigitalLemming]

Andrew, 29 (and a bit) from Hamilton and I'm a web developer. Drive a R56S with a few mods and a slight orange obsession lol

Craig from Stirlingish, over 40 and I turn things off and back on for a living. Have an R52 S which is lightly modified

So you work in IT then Craig...certainly that's what my brother in law does :)

I'm Neil from Westhill, just outside of Aberdeen. I currently drive an F56 Cooper and after a couple of years making slow progress in company cars I'm delighted to be back in a Mini. I work in Business Development for a subsea and marine training company and yes, it really is as boring as it sounds I've got a serious passion of craft beers and golf which sometimes go hand in hand with varying result and also an avid F1 fan.

Brilliant. My brother sits on the help desk in the afternoon and it goes something along these lines:

Hi, I cannot seem to get my computer to do **insert problem here**
-No problem, I know this sounds obvious but have you tried turning it off and on again?
No
-OK, stay on the line, give it a quick restart and see if that fixes the problem
**3 minutes later**
No, the problem is still there.
-Aw crap, I'm actually going to have to try and fix something now haha!

I'm Rob better know as Stoney tho :)
I drive an R53 (well hope to at some point if I ever get it back ), S4 avant and a Nissan navra (not all at the same time lol )
I run a conveyer belt company called Strathaven belting company Ltd (shameless plug lol)
I have 2 wonderful kids Jess and Sam with my wife Christine who makes a mean ginger cake :)
I enjoy the odd track night in the summer and ski in the winter lucky for me my 2 hobbies are in different times of the year and not to forget the NMS runs meets and shows that are all ways fun.

Think that's about it.

I'm Euan from Larkhall, 53 and unfortunately no longer able to hide it! Worked in Voluntary Sector for 30 years doing graphics and printing for community groups in Lanarkshire till my Dad's health (and my heart attack!) brought that to an end in 2014. Now my Dad's full time Carer with help from the wonderful Care Workers who come in every day to keep everything going - we'd be up the creek without them.

Been driving Big Minis since 2001, on my third now (see below). Also have a Skoda Fabia for the nitty gritty stuff and my latest acquisition is a very original 1974 MGB Roadster with a 1950 Oselli engine. It was on my Bucket List for ages, and as I'd had a brush with that bucket I thought 'Go For It' and did.

Love my music - Rock, Prog, Blues, Folk, Classical. Also love countryside/seaside and still get a kick out of driving around in it (not the sea though). With the Mini I get to savour the road, with the MGB I get to savour the sounds and smells of nature as I go along. Sorted.

I'm Cat, from Stirling. After 'enjoying/putting up with' my other half's (Ecosse GP) MINI obsession I went with the 'if you can't beat em join em' theory. Best thing I ever did! Met some of the best people going and have had the time of my life! Oh and am the proud owner of Mac, MINI One in pure silver with dashes of purple passion laced with a rainbow crystal, and I love him!
I have 3 wonderful children, the youngest of which has a Fiat 500 and is developing her stepdad's want for 'Something a bit different' - I dread to think.
For a living I lock people up, every day is different and never a dull moment.
To be fair there's never a dull moment with Davy anyway, at least I've now got used to 'About the car...I've been thinking - Uh Oh!!!! Lol.

You'll have to give me a demonstration of that talent Malcolm as I'd love to see a snare drum playing table tennis player.
I'm sure that the video would get at least 100 shares on FB.
