Hello! My name is Kate and I'm in the middle of moving to Worthing, and I'm guessing you guys are the closest Mini club to me.
I drive a 1993 Flame Red Italian Job, and she is my 2nd Mini. I'm addicted to be honest...hehe :P

Anyway just thought I would drop in a say hi!


Kate xx

[Michelle]

Hi Kate, welcome to the Brighton Mini Club forum. As for local clubs - you are more than welcome to join us, we meet 2nd Tuesday of each month at The Swan Inn in Falmer (map on here somewhere) - so that's Tuesday next week. The other main local club is West Sussex Mini Owners Club - who I think hold their club nights in Shoreham. They are hosting a big show on 2nd September at Steyne Gardens in Worthing. You should pop along and say hi if you're around. Welcome to the mad house!

[RNRMF]

Hi there, welcome to the forums. As Michelle says it would be good to meet you and your mini at the next meet up on the 14th

[t boy]

[Josie & Gary]

Hiya and welcome to the clique :)

We used to have an Italian Job too!!! He was in British Racing Green and called Burk. Unfortuantly he is now in the big scrap yard in the sky :( But we had so much fun in the year we owned him :LOL:

Would love to see some piccys of your car, whats she called?

Gary & Josie


Edit: I see your on TMF as well so said hello twice :LOL: Have you decided not to sell her then? I'm sure I saw your car up for sale on TMF?

[bakertron]

Yeah she was for sale on TMF but I couldn't go through with it!
Im also on Minifinity *cough cough***slut!**cough*

My car is called Ruby and I love her!

Im not actually moving to Worthing for two weeks but Im down at the weekends, so the meetings will have to wait till then Im affraid. Does the club have many members?

Kate :P

[Josie & Gary]

Members: 656, Active Members: 264 although not all the members have internet accsess

Lol i'm on Minifinity too, although not an active poster, just look at the pic's etc :LOL:

[Tommy Cooper]

i think paid up members (people that have paid there £12 or £1 per month remaining of the year when they join) number around 50 and at the Tuesday meet there are normally 15 to 30 members (some are joint members with one mini between them)

where abouts in Worthing are you moving to? Im about to exchange contracts (hopefully today) on a new house and move to East Worthing / Broadwater in about two weeks time.. Gary and Josie are over that way but in West Worthing I think ?

[bakertron]

I'm right by Worthing Station and the amazingly ****e shop CO-OP.

This be the Rubster before I nearly killed her.
:(:(

[Josie & Gary]

Wow thats mint, or should I say was mint??

[Tommy Cooper]

I do like I Job minis ... must be hard keeping the wheels white though!

Im moving to just 100m North of Worthing station and the big Co-op :LOL: so practically neighbours :eek:

Worthing has yet to be Asdafied but Tescos are popping up all over !

[Josie & Gary]

Don't forget Aldi near Waitrose :LOL:

[Jam_meister]

Nowt wrong with tesco Colm, there's an Aldi in Boundry road now too....mind you boundry road is a sh!t hole, lol. The nearest Tescos to Worthing is the one in Durrington

[Michelle]

Good luck with the move Kate, as Colm has said - actual Brighton Mini Club members number around 50, with regulars at meetings around 30, depending on time of year, weather, cars being off road etc. Forum members are loads more, bur regulars again is more like about 50 of us.

[bakertron]

Its Lidl's thats near Waitrose not Aldi!


And yes my car WAS mint...but soon to be beautiful again! bless her.

I will definately pop along to one of the meetings when I'm down and settled, but until then you will have to make do with me annoying you all on here, well during the week anyway :D

[Jam_meister]

Yep it is Lidl that's near Waitrose.....which is the worst of them all!! lol. I hope you get Ruby sorted soon, she does look lovely. I think we can put up with you annoying us in here Kate, A few of us are good at being annoying back anyway :D

[bakertron]

I do like I Job minis ... must be hard keeping the wheels white though!

Im moving to just 100m North of Worthing station and the big Co-op :LOL: so practically neighbours :eek:



Yeah keeping them clean is a right pain in the arse!

And I'm sure I will see your Mini about and you will see mine-don't forget to flash your lights and wave! lol

[mollymini]

hi, from me Matt and Molly our mini 30. Look forward to meeting you and you ITAlian Job.

[bakertron]

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! x

[Tommy Cooper]

im moving to Westbourne Av, worthing on 3rd Sept so if you see my mini you can find the house and drop in for a cup of tea some time

[bakertron]

Well I don't actually know where that is but thanks anyway! (new to area after all) I have seen loads of Minis in Worthing though! woo!

[bakertron]

Well I get my car back today and hopefully the colour difference won't be too bad...(yeah right!) Why does red have to fade so much! Infact why did I have to crash it in the first place....:(
Oh well...if you see a two tone Min driving about then you will know its me! lol

[Tommy Cooper]

I was in Worthing today checking out the local pubs to my new house in Broadwater, saw a nice purple mini near the Hospital but there were hundreds of BMW minis :rolleyes:

[Jam_meister]

Colm, the Jack Horner should be a good pub for you ;) :LOL: :p

[Tommy Cooper]

thats on Tottenham Court Road and has a good pool table (sorry have most pubs in London with pool tables hard wired into my brain)

Little Jack Horner
Sat in a corner
Eating a huge Christmas pie
He should have checked the sell-by date
After all, it was mid-July

[Jam_meister]

erm ok yeah there is a jack horner there but there is also one in Worthing near Lidls....I won't tell you why I think it might suit you :p :LOL:

[bakertron]

Naughty! I have been in that pub *wink wink* lol
So I got my car back and it looks amazing! they did a top job of matching the colour! Wooo I've got Ruby back!

So when is the next meeting? I move to Worthing on Friday! whoop

p.s I'm not sure I should be this excited! ha x

[Michelle]

We are having our Sunday cruise meet this Sunday - see events and meets column, or there's minis by the sea in Worthing on Sunday 2nd September where we will have a stand. Then its the 2nd Tuesday in September (11th I think) at The Swan Inn at Falmer.

See you soon, glad your little car is better.

[Jam_meister]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaayy Glad you have Ruby back and liking lovely again, luckily you have an easy colour to match up on her.
You should be as excited as you are about getting her back but as for that much excitement over moving to Worthing I'm not so sure.......lol, nah Worthing's Ok.....Just watch out for some dodgy bloke driving an orangey cooper with 91 circle stickers on the doors ;) :LOL:

[Tommy Cooper]

dodgy - thanks thats the nicest thing anyones said about me in weeks :LOL:

orangey cooper though ? Its a red wine base coat with a rage flip that turns gold and then green in the sunlight :p

[Jam_meister]

:LOL: Nice one Colm.

And yeah Orangey, well redish orangey is it's main colour that you can see with a bit of goldy sparkle

[bakertron]

oooh I love flip paint. Must be a bugger to match though if it gets damaged/scratched?

[Jam_meister]

Yep it's the hardest type of paint job to match up if the car gets pranged etc

[bakertron]

Wooo so I live in Worthing now and there is a Mini just round the corner from me...J reg i think....

[Jam_meister]

ok cool, hope the move went well. I can't be colms one unless it has big black 91 in a white circle stuck on both doors, lol

I take it you like manga and Anime then, cool, before that it was transformers which I have always loved being as I'm an 80's child.

Our next Tuesday meet is next week so why not come along to The Swan Inn in Falmer and say hello to us, you'll be most welcome, it starts from 7:30 ish
