It's a New MINI of course :D :D :D

I saw it saturday for the first time on the Belgian Mini Cooper Challenge testdays.

But a friend of mine got already some pics of it.
Here it is:

OK, the settlement for HAMM is momentarily the following.

-Meeting of the Belgian members at 8:30 at the Fina gasstation in Rumst on the E19 direction Antwerp.
-Picking up the ringers at the Radisson at 9:00
-Departure towards Hamm.
-Stop in the Esso gasstation of Leenderheide (near Eindhoven) where we pickup Quicksilver and a few others.
-Continue our way towards Hamm. Possible ETA 11:30 - 12:00

Is this fine for everybody?

OMG :eek:
That early! I guess I better not drink to much beer on Friday night then :rolleyes: :p

Sorry Martin,

If you want I can let you (the uk-ers) drive alone.
Macmini would like us to be there at around 12 o'clock I guess.
ANd from Antwerp it's a 2,5 a 3hour trip. (because we're in convoy)

hey guys !
i am just writing the schedule for hamm!.
latest time of arrival for all minis will be :

---> 3pm or 15.00 o'clock !

i thought about u guys maybe having a traffic jam or whatever :) !

so: take your time and enjoy your ride to hamm!

mac

Seems we can drink lots of beer then. However we will not have long to spend in Hamm as we need to get to the hotel near the ring for around 21:00

How long do you think it will take us to get down there MacMini?

Thanks

S:yellow:

Aha .. that could change the story.
But I'm not waiting until 12 to leave ...
Maybe 10 then ... I'll have to discuss that with the rest

@s_m

on a sunday it'll take you a maximum of three hours (no speedlimit in germany :) ) to get down there. so if u leave at 5pm it'll be just fine!
no trucks are allowed to drive on german highways on a sunday 'till 10pm so the roads will be all empty!

mac

@ Morty, the time is oke !!
I don't want to arrive in Hamm at 15.00h....
11.30 / 12.00 is oke :D

To the UK people, don't drink to much, and have a good sleep:p :p :p

:dark: :black: coming soon-->:white:

Ok so what are we going to do guys?
tell me, but please come to a decission

I'm happy to leave at 9a.m.
It will give us more time in Hamm. We can postpone our heavy drinking until Saturday night ;)

Good thinking, drink heavily the night prior to the Ring.

heavy drinking :D :D :D :D
That just depends on what hour you'll arrive in Antwerp
:p :p :p
We've got strong beers in Belgium you know :D :D

I consider heavy drinking 2 pints ;)
I'll be in bed by 10p.m. on both nights :p

Great, we'll leave AAntwerp around 09:00 and get to Hamm around 12:00.

That gives us around 5 hours of INMM before we need to blast down to the Ring and our Hotel.

Guess we'll have to save the heavy drinking for another time!:cool:

S:yellow:

mac

:( :( :( :(

I probably won't be there !!!!
The most unwanted thing happened to me saturday, an accident with my MINI !!

I had to slow down for the car in front of me, but the Clio behind me didn't notice it and hit my car with a speed of app. 70km/h.
His car total loss, my MINI at first sight not too much.
My rear bumper is severly dammaged and the lit of my trunk had a bump too. That's all :)I hope that underneath it all my car wasn't hit too much.

Me,on the otherhand, is suffering from a severe "wiplash" and that's not so good. The doctors don't know when I'll be fully recovered.

So that brings me to this point that there's a possibility that I can't make it to Hamm. Depends on how I feel and what the result may be on the dammage and how quick this can be fixed. :( :(

I'll try to come, but I don't know

hey morty !
really really sorry to read and hear that - sh** !
hopefully you'll be fully recovered very soon !
if u feel strong and healthy enough to come to hamm it'll make us and especially me very happy !


"head up" mate !

Bad luck Morty.

Hope the neck gets better soon and the BMW guys can sort out the rear end.
Guess that means we won't see you in Atntwerp afterall. Perhaps we will meet some of your friends?

S:yellow:

If I can't come myself, I'll check if someone can eventually pick me up and I'll try to come then.

Hey s_and_m .. Antwerp is just 10min. I could at least take the bus.If I feel well, I'll come in the MINI, if it's not at the dealers. But you'll see me. Don't think I would miss that one ;)

@ morty...is het een optie om met een van onze MINI's te gaan ???
We hebben er hier twee, en als je met iemand mee kan rijden tot in NL dan kan je hier overstappen, anders rij je met Bart of mij mee..........

Hey quick, thanks
I'll keep that in mind.

Morty, so sorry to hear about your accident. I hope you get better soon :(

Thanks Martin.

Thanks to Keevan who told us the bad news... All the Belgium Team (from the French Forum) are wishing you all the best for You, MOrty and for your car! I hope, the Belgium Team will be back soon, with You!!! :):):)

do we have any space on UK ringers cars? Mine will be stuffed to the gills but surely we can give Morty a lift to Hamm (the ring may be a little optimistic I suppose if your injured Morty)

Get well soon

I'd happily take a passenger, if I can help out :)
