...noobie here.

Recently`ish bought my second ever mini and loving it. I`m from the united states of Malvenshire and looking forward to many nights spannering my min` and getting ready for some summer fun.

I have`nt got a clue what my first ever mini was, can`t even remmember which year it was, but it was a 1000cc, blue with a white roof and white wellers. I only bought it because I needed transport and it was cheap and available. Later sold on, but I always looked back with fond memories and knew i`d have one again. Job done.

Been lurking round this site for a little while now and thought it was about time I said hello, so, Hello.

Yaaay im a computer whizz.

Anyway this is `snorty` hes my buddy. He`s a `62 Austin Seven with loads of cooper stuff buried inside.

He`s a lot of fun, got some cooper bits buried inside and always puts a big grin on my face. He also is going to get me in trouble, a very bad influence.
and were both old enough to know better...but yaaaay, go snorty.

Think young, play young. (forget the body aches and crack on)

Prob` about a twenty year gap from min`1. Never forgot the feeling of ridiculous cornering and generally feeling that every time I got in it there were adventures ahead.

I presume this is a hubby and wife team thing going on here.

Yeah shes the original mini nut

But after a longggggggg gap the thing that hit me was the smell.....Eau De Mini, plus no other car I've driven makes you smile like a mini does.....god they're fun!!

[7cider]

`Eau De mini` lol, yep distinctive. Like a damp dog. (not the mini just the distinctiveness) (im not sure if thats actually a word)

And huuuuge grin factor. And other people smile, old and young. And they are just so differant than anything else out there.

Love it.

Can`t wait for all the summer shows and runs, would also like to thrap it around a race track or two (uhmmm Nurburgring)
