I've been reading TMF for a while now, but I thought it was about time I actually signed up properly so that I could leave comments for a change! Already found the forums very useful on a variety of topics, so thanks everyone for all your helpful advice and comments.
I guess you'll be wanting to know about my Mini now, won't you? Well about 5 months ago I bought a Mini Sidewalk, 1275cc SPI, Kingfisher Blue, pretty much standard. It took me a while to get used to the choice of paint (the turquoise struck me as rather feminine at the time), but I'm liking it now! Since then, Neddy has gained a carbon-fibre effect dash, a CD player, a red Mountney steering wheel (goes nicely with the red seatbelts), clear indicator lenses, chrome windscreen wipers, and a chrome rear number plate light. There is also a set of crystal halogen headlights in the post right now, and an RC40 exhaust in the garage waiting to be fitted. Future plans include colour-coded wing mirrors and wheel arches (preferably Wood&Picket style), red gear knob, Revolution RFX 5-spoke 5x12 wheels, a K&N air filter, a chrome GB badge for the bootlid, and a good clean under the bonnet.
Right, now to see if I can include some photos... the top two are out of date already I think! To keep up to date with how Neddy is getting on, check out www.minipix.co.uk/gallery.
