MINI2

v15ben · Jan 24th, 2006, 06:01 PM

5th February 2006

The event is being organised by some of the gang over on www.pistonheads.com and has been a huge success in the past. The idea is basically a post winter meet for all car enthusiasts and so far the sign up list includes anything from a Diahatsu YRV Turbo and a Ford Focus through to Ferrari F430 and Lamborghini Murcielago! The day involves meeting up at Virginia Waters and admiring the metal on show as well as chatting to like minded enthusiasts.

The following thread has instructions on how to get to VW and the location:

and this one has a list of attendees so far:

Hope to see some people from MINI2 down there

Sounds good to me. I only live a few miles away seen vids of the VW day before.

v15ben · Jan 25th, 2006, 08:50 AM

I am looking forward to it, the pics and vids from the last one make good viewing

So are you driving down from Nottingham v15ben? Maybe we can meet up on your way down and I can show you the way. There's some brilliant roads on the way there.

v15ben · Jan 26th, 2006, 08:46 AM

Yep I am heading down from Nottingham. There is a group meeting at J22 Markfield Services off the M1 around 8.15am on the 5th. I am passengering in a classic TVR 3000M and there will be various other cars in convoy including an Aston Martin DBS, Audi S4 and Clio V6. Where are you driving down from?

Root Ginger · Jan 26th, 2006, 09:20 AM

I live in Slough. Virginia Waters is near Windsor which is next door to Slough. About a 20min journey for me.

v15ben · Jan 26th, 2006, 11:31 PM

Bit of a long trip to Notts then hehe! I will see you there.

Root Ginger · Jan 27th, 2006, 06:39 AM

Gonna bump this up. I cannot believe that only me and V15BEN want to go to this. Come on guys lets get more of a MINI turnout there.

v15ben · Jan 28th, 2006, 11:13 AM

Yep come on folks, must be more people than us in the area

Think of all those great cars

-boo- · Jan 31st, 2006, 05:28 PM

I'm interested. Virginia Water isn't far from me. I

What time is it starting? I'm in Devon for the weekend tho so will try and call in on the way back.

Root Ginger · Jan 31st, 2006, 07:39 PM

I believe it's about 10am but check the threads on Pistonheads to see what time everyone's getting there. Links at the top of the page.

v15ben · Feb 1st, 2006, 04:51 PM

It continues on into the afternoon, I think some people only arrive later on but the start time is 10am!

-boo- · Feb 1st, 2006, 05:55 PM

Thanks.

v15ben · Feb 2nd, 2006, 06:20 PM

No worries, see you there. Look out for the classic bright yellow TVR and we won't be far away from it!

Root Ginger · Feb 5th, 2006, 03:56 PM

Well it was a good day today. Bit poor on the MINI front but lots of nice cars to look at all the same. Post some pics soon once uploaded.

Root Ginger · Feb 5th, 2006, 04:57 PM

OK pics are in my Gallery.

Highlight of the day, this Ferrari which my girlfriend took great pleasure in pointing out his tax disc was out of date. Idiot!

Oh dear, well like I said I'm sure we'll meet on another run or track day or something! I did cruise past about an hour after we left but the car park was looking very empty by that time.
