Great photos Liam.

Also great to catch up with Tiaan and all the Canberra Mob.

Good effort in the travels guys. Did my best to try to talk to everyone so if i missed anyone my apologies. Don't worry about being shy Liam, people like me make up for it.LOL

Great day, thanks clubMINI. Was nice to catch up with Tiaan and the Canberra crew. Thanks for the photos all. Here are the couple of decent ones that we took.

IML337 · Mar 26th, 2006, 11:02 AM

Well I certainly had fun catching up with everyone, including some of the rather old skool folk

You really have a good thing going guys, keep it up!

The KMS Event

One for the girls....
When we arrived at the red carpet last Monday, we were greeted by that very nice boy in his red swimmers/shorts. Behind him you can see the blonde wig of the girl who was also greeting us. Sorry I didn't get a better shot of both of them

maryc · Mar 26th, 2006, 11:31 AM

Hello all, it was great to catch up today with the regulars and to meet some new people. In true MINI style the day was fantastic.

Well done to all involved and to the magazine people. Terrific job, we look like a real outfit now.

Last but not least, thank you for the prizes - I love the shirt

See you all soon and safe driving in the meantime.

Hi All,
Great day and it was nice to meet up closer to home than usual! Thanks Liam for the drive you have eased my mind about the Eibach's.

Sorry I left without saying goodbye but after the ride with Liam all the parks were taken so I gave him mine! Cheers all and see you in a couple weeks (next week is out as it is the GP).
Cheers
Ben

Re / Birthday Party
G'Day all ....... My name is Warren I turned up at the ClubMini birthday party on Sunday was there til about 11, but had to leave due to a family member was in a car accident . I had to drive back to Campbelltown hospital , well I was happy to find out all was well I was told she suffered a broken leg on the phone , but turned out not to be true . They waited til I got there and she was right to go home " BUGGER " By the time I was free it was 1:30 pm and thought it would have been to late for me to go back to the Birthday Party as some of you would have been leaving ? sorry I didn't get to meet all of you and look at all the Mini's that were there . I did get to meet Lee & Lynne , and Andrew very nice people . Just wanted to let you all know what happen .

Sorry to hear that Warren, glad to read all is okay.

Cheers Liam

Smurfn · Mar 27th, 2006, 04:22 AM

Glad to hear it wasn't as bad as thought Warren

Tit · Mar 27th, 2006, 05:05 AM

Great day! I'm glad I made sure I visited Canberra this weekend - it was good to see you all! Hopefully I'll be able to drop by from time to time to see you all again!

My pics are here...

.....hi ho, hi ho, back to Adelaide I go!

Tit · Mar 27th, 2006, 05:08 AM

wonder how that wheel effect happens...

Cabrios are always great for motion-shots..

Great photos Ann!! Seems like you aren't scared of me though - since the poking out tongue' photo made it

It was a great day guys - really enjoyed it. Lovely to see those I know already, and to put some faces to some names too!! I still managed to miss out on meeting a few people, and catching up with some others, so sorry about that. Someone else can do the name tag thing next time

It's a great way to get to know who is who!

Great to see the Canberra crowd there too! For those of you who don't know Liam, do go up and say hi to him, he is a great guy! And his wife, Charmayne, is lovely too! I am sorry I didn't get much of a chance to say hi to them yesterday, or introduce them to Nick! The time seemed to go quite quickly. Great photos too, Liam.

And Andrew H - it was NOT a disappointment meeting you, on the contrary!! (For those single girls out there, just quietly, he is a hottie!!) It is so nice to have a hubby who won't kill me for saying such things

I hope Paul "MADAlways" got a chance to catch up with you AndrewH, to seek some advice on the 'leakage' he found under the bonnet.

Nice to meet the 'greatly missed by his Sydney mates', Tiaan. Our son, Liam was very happy to meet you too!! Still too scared to ask where he got the nickname from though

He claims it is all quite innocent, but you just never know with those 'flyboys'

Nice to see Tim there too - you will always be a MINI guy in your own heart Tim, so don't fight it

You should always feel welcome at a MINI event.

Thanks to SarahJane for dropping in just to say hi, on her way to the airport too!

And to see Alex after so long was terrific!! It's been far too long!! Yes, I know you are out there (waves) but know you won't answer

And Richard made it back from FNQ in one piece!! I just hope PPE gets a nice wash today

And to everyone else who was there, thanks for another great MINI day!! See you at the next one!

Geez Warren, glad to hear everything turned out okay! That must have been very freaky!! Hope you get to hang around longer the next time!

Yep, all sorted, the dreaded popped engine mount strikes again

(thankfully these are not installed on most Minis

). He should be able to get it fixed under warranty though
