who was it ????

Post by nick@dunsdale »

Hi Guys

I was of work last week, and when i returned this morning, i was told there was someone in the workshop last week

All the info i got was "it was someone from a mini forum, they had a mini on a trailer"

I am only really a member of MK1 and MCR , i dont really post on MCR.

Was it someone for here ?? , sorry if i missed you.

Probably gonna be one of those times i never find out who it was....... very bugging lol

Hi Nick,

Guilty as charged. I don't think we've met or even corresponded on the same thread but I was in Selkirk and had spotted your business. Put 2 and 2 together and thought I'd say hello. I've got a bit of a thing for minis too so thought we'd get on. 1071S, Pre-production Supercharged Elf, Sprintex Supercharged Maguire, Innocenti's, Gtm, Moke etc. Will have a look in past next time I'm down that way. Sorry I missed you too.

Hell's bells it's a small world ain't it ?

Well hopefully if you pop in again it, the chatter will be about something less stressfull for me than asbestos lol.

Though you were absolutely fine about it :)

Though I had everybody under the sun either onsite or on the phone about it.

Nick,

Just my luck you were off, pure fluke finding you anyway. Pesky roadworks sent us off route a couple of weeks ago and I spotted your workshop. Every cloud eh? Good to hear Al's tracked you down too. Have to set up a northern region on the Forum. Look forward to meeting up. :D
