If I wasn't working tonight, I'd drive up from London to join in Sounds a fantastic event. Well done to the organizers, and I hope everyone taking part has a blast

Me too

I was thinking though the topless/not-topless decision will have to be made before we set off as we can't stop to put the roof up can we? - and driving at 20mph in rain means we'll get wet

Fingers crossed for sunshine, not showers

I think someone (possibily Hat?) made some stickers for us AGES ago with Mini2 on and our username. When they were sold some of the cash went to the site for the use of the mini2 logo.

I had mine on the back window, but some b*gg*r broke into my car and smashed the window so I havent got it now.

Maybe someone with contacts could do this again for the big meets....?

BTW - the run should be getting lots of mentions on Radio Wave and Radio Lancashire's traffic and travel this afternoon. The info should also be on Teletext and Ceefax, those of you with Tom Tom and Navman sat navs might even pick up the details on route too!

Wonder if it will come up on my TMC Factory Nav on way to location...

It *should* but it might only say it when the road is actually closed. I have put it on the system as an advance warning of a closure, so not sure if it will pop up until it is really happening...... I will have my Navman with me to check, saddo that I am!

It should read something like 'road closed due to traffic problem' on the TMC codes....
