Well, I’ve had time to calm down and get my thoughts together. Because it’s been a few weeks now since we had our special MINI Coupé evening at Peter Vardy.

A fantastic time was had by all. Particularly by me. Amazingly, though, it was an occasion when I wasn’t the star attraction. I know!

Still, if anything’s going to upstage me, I’d rather it was one of those gorgeous new Coupé beauties than a boring old [BRAND OF CAR REMOVED FOR LEGAL REASONS]! I mean, just look at this red and black vision of loveliness. No wonder folk came from as far away as Aberdeen. I bet no one would even bother crossing the road to look at a [BRAND OF CAR REMOVED AGAIN FOR LEGAL REASONS]!

That’s not to say I wasn’t made a fuss of. Goodness me, no. I lost count of the number of devilishly attractive visitors who ran their fingers though my fur and steamed up my windows and wing mirrors with their hot breath. There’s something about being next to me that seems to make people pant.

Anyway, we had goodie-bags. We had nibbles. We had cocktails. We even had magic.

The cocktails were the handiwork of Adam Ingram, the Scottish Bar Flair Champion from Badaboom. (That’s the name of his company, by the way. Not a remote Highland village.) The jaw-dropping magic was by Kevin McMahon from Faking It.

And we also had an iPad2 competition. Which was won by Michael Barr from Edinburgh. Who was a very nice laddie indeed, incidentally.

If you weren’t there, we wish you had been. You probably wish that, too.
