Stephen jon.od Feb 2nd, 2003, 04:52 PM Well done every body it was the first social outing for my mini and it loved it nearly as much as me!
Bring on the next adventures. Paul Feb 2nd, 2003, 05:21 PM Thanks DK, Matin L and Soggy.
Whoever did the pace notes, you must learn the difference between a t-junction and a roundabout. And not to advise people to go straight over when they cant! ;)
Excellent turnout, lots of nice cars (all now filthy), no trouble that I saw, great fun!
Well done guys! smiffy Feb 2nd, 2003, 05:24 PM Just got home , im soooooo :o :o

Anyone interested in an Elan Valley (Wales) run departing from Strensham services (South) near Worcester(South West Mids.) on the M5?
Great roads!!:D M.2 Feb 2nd, 2003, 07:20 PM Thanks again to all the organisers, it was great fun.
My car is now nice and clean again.
I guess we did about 20,000 miles between us:) :) smiffy Feb 2nd, 2003, 07:47 PM Originally posted by R1

Thanks to S & M for providing some company on the journey home!
Car going back to Godfrey Hall tomorrow. Still filthy - sorry guys! 30 seconds in the car wash will have it sparkling again.
R1 - Elan Valley seems like a great idea! Superb roads - we could film our own version of Top Gear! Need any help planning the route:D :red: sugster Feb 2nd, 2003, 09:43 PM Cheers guys, top day out!
Just who is it that I send my jet wash receipt to to get my money back :D
Oh yeah, sorry to the guys who were following me when I kept missing the turnings, it was only 'cos I was having so much fun!!

Hello to everyone we met - see you at the next mini adventure!
That goes for me, too. Martin L Feb 3rd, 2003, 08:52 AM Thanks everyone for the kind words :)
We're so glad that everyone had a great time.
I can't believe so many of you have cleaned your cars already :eek:
Mine's getting even more attention then usual today as it looks like it's been on a stage of the RAC rally ;) :p :D
For those out there like me who haven't cleaned their cars yet can I remind you to at least clean your number plate to remain "road legal" ;) Shamster Feb 3rd, 2003, 09:04 AM Thanks for organising another superb run. Pace notes seemed OK - I just followed the car in front
and it wasn't a Toyota!!:p :D
and a big thanks from me as well. Well done organisers and it was a pleasure to meet everyone throughout the day. :) Mad Tart Feb 3rd, 2003, 09:23 AM Thank you to everyone for a great day.
It was our 1st Mini adventure, and we had a fab time. Can't wait for the next one!! Keep up the good work. XX
:D :silver: AidenL Feb 3rd, 2003, 09:28 AM Well, I made it home, through a blizzard, and ice-packed roads when I reached my own side of the Irish Sea !!:eek:
Thanks Martin, my pilot, dcp, my taxi to the airport, DK, soggy, Ady and all the organisers for a great day out !
Thanks Paul for setting up the infrastructure to bring all the MINI2ers together.
And thanks to all the nice, friendly people I met over the two days I was there !:)
I'll be back ..........;) :D dcfkan Feb 3rd, 2003, 09:28 AM Originally posted by Martin L

I had a really good time, thanks everyone for making this a truly memorable event :D

R1 - Elan Valley seems like a great idea! Superb roads - we could film our own version of Top Gear! Need any help planning the route:D :red: I have got a route in mind. It's the one I use during the summer on the R1! :D
Briefly it would be;
Worcester
Bromyard
Leominster,
Follow signs to Rhyader.
Through the Elan Valley and onto the Aberystwyth mountain road to Devils Bridge. We could then by-pass the mountain road on the way back on the A road, or, if we had time, we could carry on to Aberystwyth for some chips by the sea!!:D.
Then return to Worcester! :D miniblue Feb 3rd, 2003, 09:45 AM thanks a lot organisers ... it was our first time and certainly won't be the last. had a great time, thanks once again.
MINIblue + Missus Minimag Feb 3rd, 2003, 09:45 AM Hi Everyone,
Just a quick message to say thanks very much for inviting Mini Magazine along on the run — we had a great time!
I’m sorry to say we haven’t got round to cleaning our Mini yet, although I think we ought to before it goes back to BMW — I’m offering a fiver to anyone in the Minimag office who fancies doing it!
If anyone’s got any comments on the weekend or funny stories to tell then feel free to email me helen.webster@aandspublishing.com.
Cheers!

Welcome to MINI2, and thanks for joining us in the run :D
BTW, I have sent an e-mail to the address on your business card, hope it reaches you OK ;)
DK :D :apple: Minimag Feb 3rd, 2003, 10:11 AM I did get your email, thank-you — and thanks for the mention on your website!
Helen SoggyCornFlakes Feb 3rd, 2003, 10:12 AM Thanks for all the great feedback everyone, it's so pleasing to know you've all had a great time too.
Especially pleased to hear the "first timers" on such a MINI2 run have enjoyed it as much as the regulars - hopefully we will see you all at future events too :)
I'm pleased to say my car is still filthy, and will remain so all week to remind me of the day :D
Now, off to plan a new route and brand new Run ......... ;) Martin L Feb 3rd, 2003, 10:37 AM Originally posted by Minimag
