    I'm even longer than that Pete and I'm clueless :):)
    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.

    You are being too modest Davy.
    If I had your abilities God only knows what 1499 would look like.

    Hi Hannah,
    I'm a relative newbie to NMS too, and went to the meet yesterday which was my first one, and it was a blast (quite literally as it was blowing a gale!) but it was great to meet up with everyone and will be going along to more!

    I should add, that I was a bit apprehensive too but I was made to feel very welcome and completely at ease within 30 seconds! I can't remember all the peoples names I was introduced to, so I'll have to work on that :-)
    Its great to be in the company of MINI-mad people, and it was brilliant to see 16 of them all lined up in the car park!



    I still want a white sticker tho ;-)

    Well I stayed up late to watch my pay go into my account.....all to watch it pretty much leave just as instantly :) I may have gone a wee bit OTT with my first mods. But hey ho, you only live once. I'm doing cosmetic mods first, I'm comfortable with that stuff. Had my first "problem" today though, huge warning light came on as I was driving down the a92, pulled over and it told me I had a puncture so popped into the petrol station to find that one of my runflats was sitting at 20 and the rest at 48. The other three at 48 seem offy high, is that right? I worked out how to reset the indicator and alls well again but it did remind me that I need to go back over the book and make sure I know my mini inside and out. X

    48psi is way too high and will affect the handling, look inside the driver door, you will see the pressure settings, make sure all are correct, safe

    checking the handbook is something lots of people don't do, 5 or so minutes can save a bit of a shock at the side of the road,have a look at the drivers door pillar and all the tyre info will be there
