I think most MINI2ers will recognise your car without a piece of paper.

Just been thinking about the likely length of our convoy.

If we assume that each MINI is about 3.7 metres long and will have two car lengths in front of it , each car occupies 11.1metres.

250 cars occupying 11.1 metres each gives a line of 2775 metres which converts to 1.72 miles! That's quite a convoy. At 20 mph it will take over 5 minutes for the whole convoy to pass a spectator standing still.

Feel free to correct any dodgy maths

Just gone a bit cloudy over here in Preston, still bloody warm though. The garage can't fix my car today as they haven't got the parts in stock, so you'll be able to hear me before you see me, with my blown exhaust and squeeky rear end

Also managed to put the black grille on, and just finished adding the CB.
Anyone else using CB's? if so there are a few classics with them tonight we'll be on ch19
