Mal Maison Aberdeen 16 Dec

Spotted a blue S1 111S in the back car park.

If you see a guy with 2 black cocker spaniels at breakfast then come over to say hi [emoji6]

Re: Anyone bought a new car recently?

Ross,

Looking great, especially being a 160. Always remember the 160 fondly after a choice between the 111S and 160 at MMC back in 2003.

Remember new garage pic are also welcome too :)

Re: Winter tyres. Discuss.

Not a fan of the MINI recommended narrow rims and 185 Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D. I think they are narrow to allow snow chains (which I’d never use). Maybe good in deep snow but quite a compromise the rest of the winter I suspect - can't imagine they look great either! Those Dunlop’s are pretty old ...

Re: (NLC) Need a runaround

My mates son (located in Edinburgh) may well be selling his Golf. If I remember correctly it is a Mk5 1.4 TSi but had a load of welding done but don't know the mileage.

If its of any interest I can give him a shout and put you in contact with him?

Re: Winter tyres. Discuss.

We got rid of the runflats on the Mini JCW and replaced with Mitchelin PS4's (N2) and car felt so much better. Did not get rid of rumble on some roads but a lot less harsh. Very lucky that we picked up from OE winter wheels/tyres from FB marketplace for a steal last year so they will be going on in ...

Re: Le Man vs Le Man Classic 2020

Spyder looks good with the stripes however sure the 968 will look ace. Think you will be ok with them being slightly short aa long as you place them at the window line down.

Ross,
I think it is the Village at the Curves we are staying for LMC but will try to find out 😉

Re: Le Man vs Le Man Classic 2020

I am going to the LM Classic with Lycian and will be joining a bunch of Le Mans veterans. They have suggested a Revolut account - it maybe due to distribution of "slush" fund betweenthe group or may be "virtual" cards to use at the event with better exchange rates but will try to find out ;) One sug...

Re: Route planner Harrogate to Hamilton

May be on the wrong side but popping through the Yorkshire Dales to Hawes and popping along to Ribblehead viaduct for a photo stop may be a good waste of 2 hours. If you go to the East then pop into Twisted at Thirsk if its close by for a coffee stop and enjoy the lovely Defenders when your having a...

Re: Red Elise on the Galston/M77 road

I suspect that Red Elise lives very, very close to myself but never managed to figure out the owner unfortunately.

If they are on here them give me a ping as would be good to put a name to the car ;)
