Welcome to MCUK. Don't think that we have anybody in the Gloucester area yet, but I believe that Donna is the closest to you. The club are currently organising a trip over in Wales this year, so might be a good opportunity to meet up with some other MINI Nuts as you say.

I would suggest a play mini exhaust, but then I'm biased. It gives a subtle growl and isn't in any way chavvy. JCW sound kit is also good, but costs a lot for what it is.
