    Hi folks

    Rab and Diane here. Thank you for letting us join We are brand new to the forum and the proud owners of our Velvet Red R50 bought in June this year.
    As far as I am aware this is a limited edition colour as it was only in production for a year or so around 2003. We love the colour, but others we have spoken to aren't so keen on it. Would be great to get some feedback from the forum members, good or bad. We can take it lol
    We are based in the Falkirk area and we have seen one other Velvet red mini in the area, think it got the white roof if I remember correctly.
    Anyway I have attached a couple of pics of her. We are trying to come up with a pet name for her also. so any suggestions greatfully received Click image for larger version.

    Welcome to NMS.

    Don't think I've ever seen that colour, and that really appeals to me. If you'd only shown that 3rd pic I'd have guessed it was Hot Chocolate

    No help with names I'm afraid, I've had my Clubby since April and I've still not got one for him....

    Hey thanks to everyone who has welcomed us to NMS �������������� ����
    This is our first mini and hopefully not the last. We have been looking at some of the
    gallery pics and I must say there are some beautiful cars. Can’t wait to see some of them in
    the flesh at the Mini run.Ordered a cpl of NMS stickers last night and will be sure to watch out
    for others whilst on our travels and give you a flash or a wave
