I figured it wouldn't go on much later than that. I'll drive back home along with some of the others.

Alison should have an email from me now.

Well the Auction at my place of work has been setup to start on Monday.

We're auction mine and Daydreams passenger seats, and Alison has kindly let us auction hers aswell

Just hope we get some bids

Alison will only be back in the office on Sunday. You should not expect anything before at least then.

It was about 5 days before I had a reply from Alison, so please hang on in there!

Anybody planning a convoy along Squires Gate Lane for the St Annes and South Shore brigade! ?

I'm a classic owner and have added a thread over on minifinity.com , so you should see a few more classics, i will hand some flyers out in Preston tomorrow.

If anyone wants to meet in Preston to convoy, maybe meet at Moor Park like the Blackpool run?

Cheers

Paul


Great stuff Paul.

It's encouraging to see the mostly very positive reaction over on minifinity.com, with only one anti-BMW comment to speak of! Why can't we all be friends!!
