Congratulations to Macker

Post by gareth »

Congratulaions to Mackey and His girlfriend on the birth of their baby girl Hannah Louise at just before 5am this morning.
Baby and mother both well.

All the best guys.......... Make sure you introduce her to a mini early on in life. Our little girl travelled to MITP in our little mini (now owned by Neasha) at only 5 months....
So we'll all get a look at Hannah Louise at the IMM, :lol:

Our Hugh did MTM2000 at 6 months and Maeve was 8 months when we did the IMM Scotland though we did stay in a lovely hotel and not the communal muckbath.

Macker, don't feel any pressure to get Hannah on her first Mini run at 2 months just to prove one to the lads (though we will be impressed!)

KAZ has been up fo sale for ages now. Mrs Macker calls it her engagment ring.... Macker has been told when the mini sells he can use the money for an engagment ring. But really weird but there has been no interest... the 35k price tag might be something to do with it... :lol:

Congratulations to both of you.


As for "!!Blackseven = hardcore, there prob called issigonis jnr and issigonis the 2nd! :wink: respect" , nah she named the one I missed after me.
I don't think she was too upset, she went and bought me the Seven two years later and Zoe's '68 Estate whilst I was on the MTM2009.
