Hey folks how is everyone!

Just new to this forum and looks pretty good :w00t: :huh: Ive got a 2002 DS MCS and loving it :huh: :)

im located in Australia and usually log onto mini2.com for various mini chat and banter, but im planning a trip up to london in September so i thought id scout around here for some details on mini stuff in the UK.

Can anyone here recommend a good (but not expensive) place to stay? I'll be staying for about 3 days.. any recommended things to see/do?

Also im planning on picking up a few MCS parts whilst im in the UK - Does anyone know a shop that is good?

Cheers!

I think he might be referring to a Mini Cooper 'S' :fear:

mini2.com is a website for New Mini's.

Hey Mini-Fr34k - Minispares do some parts for new Mini's, and there are a few other smaller tuning companies who may be able to supply parts.

We are pretty much a classic Mini website here, so won't be much help with the technical aspect of New Mini's, but we're friendly enough, as long as your primary allegiance is to the REAL Mini! :grin:

I thought that too! Mini-Fr34k get yourself a copy of MiniWorld or Mini Magazine when you get over here and give the london based companies a call!

Regard staying somewhere near heathrow, i'd suggest some sort of hotel.

much better than a park bench or the pavement although slightly more expensive.

hope that helps! :grin:


Welcoem to TMF tho dude! :tongue: :grin:

Im with marc (not in a gay sense though!!!)

Been accepted to emigrate, then the wife got cold feet................the divorce comes through in 61/2 months.

What sort of money do you want to spend on accomodation, as Stellios does easy nights for a tenner, or the Hilton suites are slightly more.

:grin:
