    Bit depressed but I'm biting the bullet on the works kit for Daisy.

    Was at the dealers this week and it has been delayed 'yet' again and they are now quoting mid to late July but it would be August before they could fit it I've had it on order since March !!!!

    Always at the back of my mind were my future plans for Daisy which is to trade her in next year and get a 'fully loaded' JCW 'S' with different colour spec etc. So I have now decided that it wouldn't be worth getting the kit, IF it had been there in April I would've got it fitted with no doubts but with the delay it's put me off.

    You've made the right decision I think Linda.

    Does Willie know you're buying a fully loaded works S ???

    Well, i can see a lots been happening since i've been away, sorry to hear about the non arrival of the JCW package, i'm not totally surprised though, their service is very poor and the customer relations are pathetic.

    You just couldn't get away with it with any other product, ah well, theres always the Hartge

    Have you told the dealer yet Linda M ? I was speaking to one of the sales guys at Menzies about Newminiscotland yesterday and he mentioned you and Willie and said your kit was coming in next week !!!!!! Better check me thinks !! I'm from Falkirk (well Larbert actually) too but I've not seen you scooting about yet. I'll give you a wave when I do.

    Our Mini One is Chilli red, 17" 'S'wheels + chrome trim. You can't miss the number plate, It's S 15HY S. My wife's name is Ishbel and her nickname is ISHY so hence the number. Was hoping to join you on this weekends run work permitting. I'm looking for recommendations re air-filters/SS exhausts for future mods. I'm sure you lot have loads of ideas that I could tap into !!!!
