New Member from Leeds.

Hello PH!

My name's Dan. I am a long time lurker of this forum (probably 3+ years) and found myself questioning recently why I wasn't a member. I am a member of a few other car specific forums but have always liked the more mature feel that PH has, not to mention the amount of information and variation on here.

I'm based just outside of Leeds (Kirkstall to be precise) and my current car is a R53 Mini Cooper S which I've had for just over a year. The current spec of the mini is as follows: a Dark Silver Facelift 54 plate Cooper S, chilli pack, full leather interior, xenons, aero skirts, aero front grills. I've tastefully modified it in my ownership, currently running just over 200bhp with a 15% reduced pulley, stealth air box, JCW brake upgrade, Eibach Sportlines.

A few quick pictures for now, I'll get a project thread knocked up from the ones I have on other forums at some point.













I look forward to my stay.

Cheers!

Cheers mate, something I also enjoy.

Looking forward to hopefully getting along to some future events! Unfortunately I couldn't make the Malton Breakfast meet on Sunday.

Live in Moortown but being a RM driver you get to go all over.

Cheers mate. I recognise your username from ClioSport. I think we spotted each other a few times when I still had the Inferno 182.

Ah yes. Funny I went to an R53 for a while too, but back in a Clio Trophy now. I'll keep my eye out for the reg

Welcome. Nice car.
I work in Kirkstall (by the Morrisons) so might see you around.

[Vaud]

Not a fan of mods (generally) but I think that looks good. Nice photos as well.

Head out to Ilkley Cow and Calf or towards Brimham at sunrise/sunset- would make a nice backdrop?

[Martin_Hx]

Welcome fella! Nice little hatch you have, looks like new

[SlowMoped]

Welcome! I'm pretty sure I've seen that around.

[fenby9]

Welcome, I am just down road in Bramley. Looks like a very clean cooper s you have, will keep an eye out.

[eikoorb]

Thanks for the welcome fellas. I'll hopefully see a few of you about locally!

Dan.

Welcome

I'm from Leeds too ... well, Bingley, which is 20 minutes from Leeds on the train.

Maybe the Leeds PH massive should head to Reds BBQ sometime for an evening of man food

If that's the BBQ place just opposite Corn Exchange, I used to walk past that everyday on my way down to Elbow Rooms for a pool session. It did smell great walking past.

(Should really have spent more time in music college instead of playing pool though)
