Looking forward to it. Not sure when I'm going to get a chance to clean the car

Hope it's better weather than it's been today. It's our village children's day and we're having to put up the stalls in the puring rain. Looks a bit better now, so fingers crossed

Happy planning Nicky.

Certainly is - a week tomorrow. I've nearly finished cleaning mine, however, I don't dare to take it out as Nicky says that she is going to check it! It certainly won't be coming out in the rain though!!!

Just park next to me - you'll have a showroom finish by comparison.

I think Zeus has forgotten what a sponge looks like.

Ah will do! Mine is ALWAYS clean - this run will be the longest period (in distance) between washes!

Aren't I sad!

Nicky will you post the notes in a separate reply as well - it should show up in my user control panel then. Thanks

I will park on the other side then

, I have got the glorious motorway journey up there and we all know the joys of the MINI's attraction to dirt

You'll be wearing the kettle round your head if your not careful

Message to self... I must wash the car... I must wash the car...

It's been chucking it down all weekend and the prospects for this week aren't much better. I've got a trip down to Sheffieldish, so that's M62 and M1, so can't see much point in washing it before that

Will try to make it shiny by Sunday

All that aside, much excitement about next weekend here

- both little ones want to come, but that's still ok on the topless front because Harvey will happily sit in the back getting his head blown off

Less than a week to go

dakini · Jul 6th, 2008, 06:48 PM

i will NOT be washing my car this week. just so everyone knows.

richards · Jul 6th, 2008, 07:09 PM

may not be able to turn up in my mini, its going into lister park to have it repaired because they damaged it when it went in for some warranty work last month for the 5th time.
dont know what car im getting or when mine will be returned

That's a shame, hope to see you there

It will probably come down to a choice of packing or cleaning.

I'm surprised you didn't suggest I wash Dennis.

Why didn't I think of that?

Well he's going into the garage on Tuesday for a new back bumper so I'm hoping they'll give him a nice clean while he's there and that I can keep him shiny till the weekend

dakini · Jul 6th, 2008, 10:28 PM

the run notes look good N ....

... says someone who doesn't know the area at all!

Tara&Paul · Jul 6th, 2008, 10:58 PM

Are we doing or going anywhere near the Butter Tubbs Pass?
