I think the original is about 90 mb...its just a video off a small digital camera. Just wish I had a DV cam now!

I will get it hosted somewhere.

OK, so I've uploaded the one I did on the run back from the roundabout although I don't think it's quite as clear as yours.

Just found this on the BMW Pressclub website...

We're gonna roll this MINI convoy, cross Blackpool bay. Convoy...Convoy...
03/30/2007

On the evening of Wednesday 28th March, 269 MINIs illuminated Blackpool and set a new Guinness World Record for the longest MINI convoy in the world. Owners travelled from as far as Croydon and Cardiff to be part of the historic two-mile route and help raise cash for Comic Relief.
The record was previously held by the Vancouver MINI club when in 2004 they brought together 195 new and classic Minis.

The parade was organised by MINI dealership Derek Woodman.

James Rashid, MINI Brand Manager at the dealership, said: “We really wanted to do something for Comic Relief this year and the ‘longest MINI convoy ever’ seemed to fit the theme of ‘The Big One’. We never imagined it would become this big! Hearty congratulations to my team for pulling it off and thanks to all the MINI owners for making it happen!”
Ends.

Just seen this thread - Well done to everyone for making the effort for charidy - if we'd seen this earlier we would definately had made the effort to turn up.

I tried watching the video on YouTube, but can't stand that tune - so depressing. To be honest that tune makes my skin crawl. Sorry......

That's the reason the mute button was invented.
