welcome to yhe site Neal, see the old hands have introduced themselves, so thought I'd say hello. Pinky probably refers to me as the old git!!!!!

Hi Neal welcome to the site, your car looks great

I'm glad your liking the switch, fast Mini's are just far too common around here I usually see several Cooper S's and even a few Works Coopers everyday on my way to work.

I know what you mean about not seeing many ST's I've only seen two and I'm sure the one was a demo car, I think i'm the only one from Gloucestershire on here

To ALL of the above,

Thank you for the warm welcome, i am sure i will learn alot from here and have already sampled the 'Unlocking the digital display' tried this last night and can confirm that it works - but it can become very confusing with a lot of figures etc. Also it resets once you turn the ignition off.

Learn something new everyday, now i can learn even more.

Thanks again guys and gals.
