clubMINI Vic - Dec/Chrissy run 04/12/2005

[OZChris]

What a day

What a turnout - 30 odd Cooper and Cooper Ss (including the Red Bull car).

Lots of new faces and new cars.

Plenty of 'war' stories too.

I'll kick in with MINIs heading in every direction in the back skirts of Donvale!

Bring on any photos.

Absolutely, to quote Wallace - " 'twas a grand day out "....pleased to report that Meguire's interior clean gets rid of the stench of regurgitated Weetbix! GBMINI now smells as fresh as a daisy.
Thanks again for everyone's concern for Andrew. He was gutted having thrown up in the MINI, he said he had wished he had done it in the X-Trail (Mum's car) because then it wouldn't matter!

By the time I got home I did 330km's, at an average of 7.8l/100km so I am more than happy with that, always good to give the steptronic gear shift a bit of a run too.

Alas I forgot to take photo's - looking forward to seeing others though.

Got a few photos, also went on a photo shoot with mine after down Werribee South. I'll see if there is any worth putting up

Phil, glad to hear that its all out and clean, poor little bugger looked really upset that he'd chundered in the Mini.

I did about 400 k's today had a *really* decent run back too!

Yep, it was a great day, made even better by the fact that nobody forgot to fill up with petrol and not tell us, so we would not be sitting up thinking they were off dead in the forest instead of being off trying to buy petrol to fill up with..... what??

Had a great drive, but I am really a bit stuffed now.

Hey Micky

Just noticed the shot where there's a bug on the witches hat - that's cool. Did you stage it or was the bug already crawling all over it?

Cheers
Chris

[MickyD]

I actually didn't notice the bug until after I took the shot, I like it there though
I've got a few others where it's not in there, but I think it adds a bit of character to the photo

Nice photos Micky, great to see so many Coopers … and crikey, not one Indi Blue car in sight.

[MickyD]

Indi blue is VERY uncommon down here, off the top of my head I can only think of two coopers and 1 cooper S that I've seen in IB.

[Todd!]

There is one in Geelong - MINIBM numberplates... I think the only other ones I have ever seen have been in Melbourne... one was with you Micky - IB/B with orangey yellow plates...

[doona]

There is one for sale on Carsales at the moment IB/W!!
