...thanks to MartinSSZ and his co-driver mrrichlev for leading us for most of the day, i'll never forget the sight of your cooper s getting major air when we were out on our own :D

I'll never forget it either, and nor will my head :rolleyes: Anyway it wasn't intentionally off the ground, the road was very very bumpy - and you're a wimp for driving round ;) :D

Was an absolute pleasure to lead you guys round, had a great time! What a fantastic job Soggy and the rest of the organising team did.... bring on Cotswolds 3 :)

Martin

erm i was at the bar wearing beige shirt with white t-shirt under neath - i saw you a couple of times i think but was engrossed with the alcohol and northern chatter hee hee

more mingling next time i promise i just get a bit shy

*MiniA shhh just keep this away from DK and il make it a double ;)

i was being a social butterfly and dancing stupidly, wearing waaaay too high red shoes and a halter neck red and white top :D

On a plus side I ordered the Chrome interior bits and pieces which should arrive on Wednesday :D

Funny, I got home tired and frustrated :( :eek: ;) :D

I made it home everyone. I am going to post a Frodo diary or something like that. Chat with ya soon...
Glad you got home okay, hope it wasn't too expensive:eek:

What can i say, what a weekend, from Friday night to Sunday night. Started off meeting off Frodo after work, very nice guy who kindly brought over wine for the auction. Provided great company to the drive to Northampton

Friday night celebrating Neil (aka Trainman) birthday was great fun, Saturday was mad, playing volleyball in the pool, Neil's cake, meeting & seeing so many Mini2ers in the auction, night out, MartinL & Sham pole dancing:rolleyes:

Sunday, classic Mini run:D , mini traffic jam everwhere, getting lost:rolleyes: , watching people negoitate their Minis to the hillclimp lunch break, Mr Mullet burning rubber onto the wet grass:D Watching Soggy & co going through every single puddle

There is so much happend, that i haven't had time to recover.

Thanks again to Soggy & co for a great weekend & Dora for Food, Name badges ....................and Peeps remember to sign up for the forthcoming charity ball at the same location, it will be a blast:)

Who's the Guy standing on the Mini in Miniminors first pic..... Sacrilige :D

Sounds like you all had a great weekend, so sad I couldnt get there :(

Anyone want to know how much we raised ? :p
Affirmative, sir!

someone has a photo of my car :D woohoo :D

Rakey actaully stopped his car and had a screw on the run - with us all watching :eek:



TBH - i've still not figured out why he carried a spare screw around in his MINI, but at elast it sorted the number plate ;)

someone has a photo of my car :D woohoo :D


Is this yours...

:)

A thousand thanks to all of the organisers, fantastic run!! (Yet another one I should say!)

Nice to meet some new people and well done to TT_Convert (Pete & Emma)....a valiant job of leading a number of cars and it being their first run!! Wouldnt have caught me leading on my first run!! ;)

One question, on the second half of the afternoon there was a IB/W MCS with white vipers who took some video from the side of the road in a small valley....yes I could be more vague!! Anyway, took some video when myself, TT_Convert and Edna (Dave) were overtaking a camper van....anyone else spot the lone video man or was I imagining it?!!

Anyway, would love to know who it was and see how the vid turned out!!

Ok, so I can barely make sense of the last paragraph so hope you lot can!!!

Cheers all for another great run and here's to the next one!! :D

Jones! :D

Had a brilliant time! Pretty much going to cover what has been said already, but thanks to all of the organisers - excellent run, had lots of fun! Maybe would have been better if i hadn't been so excessively tired and started the day off with a dreadful hangover! Which leads me onto Saturday night, had a great time nice to meet Aiden at last and actually speak to Jason ;)

My car, however, is still filthy, gonna get her cleaned tomorrow. Will post some pics up later :) Was nice to meet some new people and put faces to names, even if i didn't speak to you!

Also joined onto a nice little 6 car convoy going up the M40 on the way towards Birmingham - ended the day off nicely!

Thanks again - Roll on Next Year! :D

How much did we raise bob? :cool:

Great weekend again this year.

Thanks bob and everyone involved for making a great day.

Excellent run. Got lost at the start and a few times after but managed to find myself back to finish.

The run was good and Sat was a laugh. Had a great round of golf with AdamLondon, N3il and Froda. Me and N3il where driving the golf buggy like lunatics which was a laugh. Never done a doughnut on a golf course.

And will get a pic of the curry I had on Friday night. Hottest curry on the menu.
Will get some pics up tomoz sometime of the run. Stuck at work still.

My mini succesfully passed it's 25000 service today so am happy

Post soon
