Hi John!  That is one fantastic looking Mini.  I always wanted the Aero side skirts for my Electric Blue MCS when I had it.  I lived in your neck of the world about 8 years ago, in a little town called Thetford, off the A11 between Cambridge and Norwich.  I really miss England, it's a much better place to motor than our area here.  Nothing quite like getting lost on some back B roads avoiding pheasants (stupidest birds ever), and finding some nice hidden pub out in the middle of the country and enjoying a pint of cider with friends. 

Again, Welcome...

Hi Ben, many thanks.

Lovely part of the country Norfolk, those B roads are definately what the MINI was made for. Unfortunately there are more & more speed cameras (known to the common people as revenue generators 076) creeping in all over the country spoiling things a little. At least over here they have to have a warning sign to let you know you are approaching one. I've been known to take the loooong way home on many an occasion icon_mrgreen.

Cheers
John

Top Gear had a show on them. Glad we don't have them. Its bad enough that we're not suppose to use radar detectors.

They are here Steve, just not like in the UK.  I used to have all the speed camera locations memorized, but when they get the van out, there is nothing you can do.  Got my wife doing 92 on the A11 coming from Norwich.   093  I miss England too, it was so much fun!
