I've just made it back home to my beloved Mini. Luckily I remembered to drive on the Left and I only stalled once, forgetting about the clutch!

I want to say a HUGE thank you to Craig and the Sales Team at Mini Crowfoot for allowing me to use the Cooper S on the 27th for the Calgary Mini Run....and also for shelling out for the food at the Black Cat.

Both Nath and I had a great time and Nath still harps on about Tobias and how fast he can go.....

!

A big thank you to everyone else for making us feel so welcome and the pictures on the website are great.

Kirsty & Nathan.

glad you made it home safely and enjoyed your time in Canada. Those folks up at Crowfoot are aces for sure.

But for the fact "The Prince of Tobias" is from Madchester, not all of us can be perfect and born Scouser, he is pretty tardy but tolerable and does serve a purpose at times.

I wonder if now you have to butter up to your MA for when me or the Prince of Tobias makes it over next time. The bar has been set high and we would be chipper with a JCW GP for a MINI run through the Lake District or Yorkshire! With the way we drive, you would not need to bring a Camera. The local constabulary will have more than enough to remember us by.

It was nice meeting you and Nathan!

Glad you enjoyed our company and the scenery through Kananaskis Country! Not as twisty as some of the stuff I've seen from the Cotswold or Hearbeat Run, but breathtaking in its own right. And now you can brag to your UK MINI mates that you drove an MCS near the tree line!

And I agree, the MA's at Crowfoot are tops.

I had such a good time in Canada, that I'm going to be applying for a residency visa

Oh oh ... here comes another one ...

i'm guessing it wasn't Canada, so much as the Cooper S in the mountains of Alberta that made that decision

Never ask a man if he is from Yorkshire; if he is, he'll tell you. If he isn't, you'll only make him feel bad....

Where did you hear that?
Were they chatting in the Rovers on Corrie about Emmerdale (Farm)?

Bok, it was Golden in BC that swayed my decision. The Mini's were fab tho. Also, I think it should add points to my visa application that I own a Mini.

On the legal front - the lad from Doncaster that blew up a speed camera recived a 4 month prison term today...... The idiot blew up a dummy camera!!!!
