The doors will be open to the public from 10:00am to 5:00pm. MINISHOW 2004 is a family fun day with other activities to help entertain the participants such as supervised children's activities and famous Mini footage screened in the free Theatrette within the venue.

Who is going???

NewSkool was talking about entering, but I havent heard from him for a few days... last he was saying was that he was getting his 19" rims and pulling the springs out when he arrived... so the car was exceptionally low

Are you going in it Chris?

Unfortunately its a bit far for me to go and dump my car for a weekend... then I have to rely on someone to get me home then back to pick it up!

Also, if I was to get my car detailed, one trip up the Melbourne road and it would be filthy again

Should definately be up for a look, see anyway!!

Todd

Todd! · Jul 11th, 2004, 03:50 AM

Maybe we could organise a spot outside, close to the entrance for us to park on Sunday?

That could be good...

What a perfect reason to catch up!!

Todd

Todd! · Aug 3rd, 2004, 11:10 PM

URGENT

I just contacted the president of the VMCI in regards to the Mini show...

I have requested some sort of reserved car parking near the front of the show entry for the Mini2's to park as an "added bonus" for show goers on Sunday...

I cant make it on Friday or Saturday... so I cant enter, but plan to come along on Sunday.

There are a few fellow Mini2ers that will be entered to get along for a look and fill in some of those peoples choice award slips

!!

Add your name down here if you plan on attending the show... so we can organise the space we need so we can all park as a group rather than being scattered through the carpark.

Todd

OZChris · Aug 15th, 2004, 12:15 PM

Any other fellow MINI owners planning to come along?

There should be a few new MINIs at MINIShow 2004.

For those coming along, see you on Sunday.

Im coming for a look, I would enter, but I have to be back in Geelong at 3, so I think we are going for a bit of a fang in the morning, then into the show...

I tried to organise a space for us all out the front, but they told me they arent interested, cause of some agreement with the show grounds.. so meehhh.

I hoped to organise an area with 10 f 15 cars outside, but they weren't interested, so I stopped asking people if they wanted to come... I think there will be 2 or 3 from Geelong hopefully

Todd

CanberraCooperS · Aug 15th, 2004, 10:32 PM
