As the user name suggests I'm a keen biker, having a Honda VFR750.

But rest assured I'm also a fan of the car (or cage as we bikers call cars), in particular the Mini.

No I don't have one - yet.:( But hoping to have one in the coming months. Have spoken to my nearest dealer who says that the Mini One can almost be purchased ex-stock, great news as this reduces the pain in waiting. Would like the new diesel, but appears there shall be a waiting list.:disapprove:

The previous new member comes from Shetland, I come from the neighbouring islands - Orkney. I too am interested in sailing, except I "retired" from competion sailing some 14 years ago when the famaily came along. Living at the time in Inverness meant that travelling to championship events in the central belt was time consuming and costly. I used to race Merlin Rockets and Albacores. Thinking of returning to sailing and teaching the kids (13 and 11).
