Hiya all :)

Just looking in after a Loooonngggg time !

You all probably know I had a pretty big operation last February, and work folded in may , and well, have had a LOT of family health issues sadly which has sucked me in........ :(

Im thinking of chopping the S5 and the TT in against something else, purely for reasons of reducing running costs, I'm speccing a JCW again anyway instead of the TT. Wondering is there any decent dealer you guys would recommend to talk to??

And its good to be back, missed the buzz of it all..... :)

Hi Aiden,
Welcome back , I would have a chat to Morrison MINI in Cahir , excellent aftersales and all round decent Guys to deal with , the MINI sales person there is Tommy O'Mahoney and tell Him I sent you , I am sure they will do their best for you , how about a JCW Clubman ? I am really happy with the Clubman and the bit of extra space makes life easier as well as the longer wheelbase makes the car more stable on the bumps. anyway good to hear from you and talk soon .

Hope you are well on the mend again Aidan, see you soon at a run I hope.

Hello Aiden!

Was great to meet you and Denise at the weekend!
I well never forget the sound of you arriving at the Heron's Cove! Everyone went quite!!!! That was some achievement!!!!

That was very unfortunate about your tyre.
Just realised, after the early bath for the S5, Newton was the only Southern Reg there!!!!!

Hope to catch you again soon!
Take care.

Aiden - I saw today a JCW all black - well kitted ( glad to have you back by the way - luv to D ) for £12,500 very tidy and not out of the way money wise - let us know and I get pics (private not trade)
flights from belfast to leeds are about £30 at the moment if you fancy a test drive :D

Just to let you know Ger, that guy was useless, really bad -I called him, sent him all the details he asked for and never heard from him again :(
