Hi from sunny Scotland..

..well today it is!

I've been lurking these parts for a bit, thought it was time I joined up properly.
Long time member of www.newminiscotland.co.uk, I'm pretty sure there are a few of our other members round these parts too!

This is my wee beastie, a 2005 Black Eye Purple Mini One, with a few tiny little mods (so far) - 17" League 156 wheels, S Side Skirts, Aero kit spoiler, Playmini exhaust, halo side lights and some one-off bonnet stripes..
That's all for now.. although I feel the urge for a remap soon!






Right.. well Hi guys!
I'm off to scour your cool forums for more potential mods

Welcome to NAM, Burple.

That. Is. One. Sweet. Mini.

The bonnet stripes bring to mind a hunting cat. Excellent.

Welcome Burple! Last night I was just thinking to myself "I wonder what a MINI would look like all BEP or Purple Haze here in the States?" I like the stripes as well.

Welcome to NAM! I just got back from Europe and I really miss it. Although, got my only ticket in Scotland...wasn't driving a Mini, so that must have been why. Ireland was my only accident - and again (thankfully this time!) not driving a Mini. sigh...MAN I miss the twisties in Germany, though!

Nice car! And nice name!

Maybe you could help a few Mini Motorists out with this thread...?

Kewl! I dunno which name for it I like best now! That's an added incentive to get my hands on some Dodo Juice 'Purple Haze' wax!

I'll try to get a couple of better pics on now that she's been properly clayed, polished and waxed!
