Guys, seems like ages ago that last year's MINIs in the Forest at Castlewellan Forest Park happened when Aiden won his wooden thingummy, but it's upon us again

It is happening on Sunday 28th May (and here's hoping the weather is more end-of-May like than last year )

For those who weren't there last year, it is a static show which takes place in the grounds of the Forest Park, so it's a good chance to ooh and ahh over the new MINIs and the classics alike. We staged an impromptu run after it was finished last year which I think everyone enjoyed, so let's see if we can get more MINI2ers this year than last

Good stuff boys, added

[PmP]

On a separate note, didnt want to post it in Spotted section to keep banter down, but has anyone seen a red mini one/cooper, with colour coded arches and cooper S bumpers, S exhaust, Cooper S badging, nice bbs style rims and reg number *** 850?

It was just leaving my local petrol station in crossgar as I was coming into it, so hadnt time to get a spotted card to the owner! Sounded very loud. But no bonnet scoop so it wasnt a cooper S.

Any chance you and Lisa will try not to use my car as a door stopper for this one, catch my drift!!!!

it's just outside Newcastle..... not sure how long it would take to be honest From Newry to Castlewellan, via Hilltown is about 35km. Lesley may know a better route.

Would it be 2/2.5 hours for you guys?

There's alot of confusion in this post.......i'm just up

I reckon you could make it in about 90mns, would be great to catch up with you and the rest of the dubliners.
