MickyD · Aug 17th, 2004, 12:40 AM

as discussed on IRC last night, how about breakfast down at New Quay (or somewhere else if someone has a better idea for a location) and then head over to the mini show.

Todd! · Aug 17th, 2004, 05:26 AM

I'll send some details around soon...

From the website:

LATE NEWS!! We would like to have as many Minis as possible at the show inside the venue. In the past some people have parked their Minis in the car park in fear of not being good enough for showing. Please think serviously about what you come to the show to see, minis, minis and more minis. You don't expect to see 100% top show quality minis, most come to see a large display of minis. Yours is special in it's own way. PLEASE BRING IT!

We have some space available so enter your Mini now. If space permits we will except entries on the day between 8am & 9am.

Another thing to think about. It will cost you $5 to park at the Showgrounds (their rules not ours), then $12 to enter the show, this is $17. You can almost enter you Mini indoors for that cost.

MickyD · Aug 18th, 2004, 02:19 AM

maybe we should get there a bit early and maybe enter a couple of cars... it's only $8 more than paying to park and then going into the show....

Todd! · Aug 18th, 2004, 03:09 AM

I ahve to go home early - Dad is coming with me... if the show finishes at 5... I'd estimate another 1-2 hours to get your car out!! which means after 1 hour drive back to Geelong - dad wouldnt get home until ~11pm!!

Anyone else is welcome to enter... this is why I tried to get a park close to the entry for us, so we could leave, without having to wait all day.

Todd

MickyD · Aug 18th, 2004, 04:47 AM

yeah, don't think I CBF'd hanging around until 5 o'clock

I'll be interested to see what trade stands will be there too, I want some more interesting valve caps. hehehe

There will be several new MINIs on display and being judged on Sunday - for those interested please come along and support the new MINIs through the people's choice award. Look out for the display with two new MINIs - a LY MCS and a CR MC.

Just FYI, BMW are a major sponsor of this show, and at last year's show there was a MINI display from BMW.

MickyD · Aug 19th, 2004, 12:10 AM

I notice meguiars are a sponsor too... I wonder if they'll be selling NXT Wax there...

Todd! · Aug 19th, 2004, 02:00 AM

You are truly obsessed with that stuff!!

Todd

MickyD · Aug 19th, 2004, 02:07 AM

I'm sick of waiting for it when it's been out in the US for so long.

Todd! · Aug 20th, 2004, 02:21 AM

5 cars from Geelong - possibly 6 or 7

Micky - you better russle up some mates of yours!!

Todd

MickyD · Aug 20th, 2004, 02:35 AM

Todd! · Aug 20th, 2004, 02:42 AM

VMCI Mini Show 'N" Shine 2004 - Melbourne Showgrounds

It was a great day had by all...

There were approximately 13 Mini2ers in the show

Including:
Eltel's OZICOZI sponsored MCS
XMINIX's car
(they were done up like the Scaletrix JCG Cup cars with stickers and numbers etc.)
Nick Stillwells car from the Dutton rally - with (Swamos's favourite

) EB/W MC along side
Baker's DS/DS MCS - great to finally meet Kev!!
The Magwheel warehouse DS/W MCS from SA - on 19" rims

PHAT!!
The redbull mini ute - handing out samples (hence some shaky handed photos)

Then in the car park there was probably another 100 minis - about 25 Mini2's including:
Eltel's JCW
ITSNS's B/B MCS
setox - EB/W JCW MCS
Red&blackS - well yeah me...
MickyD's BRG/W MCS
a hand full of CR/W MC's andMCS's with bonnet stripes
3 or 4 cars from Peck & Stokes Mini Garage...
plus a few others.

The Anti-Mini2 brigade were out in force - one car even sporting the numberplate NOTBMW

(Unfortunatly I had a problem with my memorycard on my DC so I erased the shots from the first half of the show - including the shot of the plate)
But I spoke to alot of very pro mini people also - whch made the day very pleasent.

The highlight of my day was finding a very classic red and black Austin Cooper S!! So I took some shots of the two together!! - thanks to Andrew for letting me!!

I had an excellent day!!

Todd

Todd! · Aug 22nd, 2004, 07:30 AM

Shots!!

Todd! · Aug 22nd, 2004, 07:32 AM

Like I said earlier - my camera was being unkind to me, so ihave limited shots - Micky had his camera too... so I'm looking forward to those shots!!
