2/3

Left the MINI RUN at cosgrove as the run was all young drivers and at the places we stopped on route no body said a word. Even the organiser did`nt speak.
If you get older drivers on the next run i will think about doing it.

Everyone (well...) got out of their cars at the start and grouped together for a chat and photos...and at the first stop.....and at Tescos...and at the lunch stop?

We dont bite honest

I think/hope minimat enjoyed it

We did try, I myself rather hoped you would get out your car and join us, I know nick came out of the pub to come and find you as there was an issue with a food order and we were in going to be a while.

I'm sorry you felt a bit left out, nobody really quite new what to expect as we have never organised a run before, and as for peoples ages, I'm sorry there wasn't a more older crowd, but people are the ages they are who come, we cannot vet people on a mini run by age...I mean i would have even been happy if people came along in other cars, all i ask is they are polite and have respect for others.

Hope to see everybody again soon on up and coming mini runs over the summer

I'm sorry that you did not have a good time and felt left out,
at the stops everyone got out there car and had a chat, sorry none of us came up to you but i thought you wanted to be alone as you didn't get out, i am sorry that was my mistake.

and as Mike said we cant do runs based on age,
the only requirements i have is that everyone is polite and respects other people etc.

But i hope that everyone one else had a good time

I sure as hell did!! Couldn't have asked for my first ever run to be any better with such a great bunch of people Hopefully see you on the next run Herby (and everyone else!)

[MINIDICK1982]

This was my first run and i really really enjoyed it, i wouldnt stop going on about it at work the next day! And was really pleased to have meet such a cracking bunch of people that we all can talk mini's the whole time. And many many thannks to nick and mike for organising it and eveyone for being there.

Well cant wait to do something again soon, and i can be there right from the start next time!


And well as for guy in golden mini you should of got out and spoke to a few people, we would have chatted to you. A run is all about mixing with people passionate about mini's and driving them, its not all about age. Im sure your not a bad guy but please show a bit more appreciation towards those who organised it please.

Yes we did. Only downside was the length of time our food took to arrive. Wasn't a cheap place either. Usually you get far more Minis on a run but I imagine the weather has been putting people off. Route was good though.

[HerbySnr]

Thanks for the reply`s. I would have felt better if my other half had been with me but she had to work.
I did get out of the car at tesco`s and at cosgrove. If the organiser had said we was going into the pub for a bit of food and a drink that would have been ok. But with no word you all vanished without a word.
Lets hope you do another run late august or early september and if im off work i will try and make it.
Pictures of run was good.
