Nicky's been away so you'll have to hang on a bit

cooperaidy · Jun 15th, 2008, 10:45 PM

Me n my friend Fi defo gonna come to this. She missed out on the lakes tour, so thought i would bring her along to this. i live on jennyfields side of hgate, so gettin to ripley is a 2min drive up the road. Route sounds good.

Iv just got back off the lakes tour 2008 and i loved it, and now can ya believe it.... im hooked, the buzz ya get with loads of minis driving through a village

Will ask some mates to come along aswell and see wot they say

goonerij · Jun 16th, 2008, 09:34 PM

Put us down for this one please Nicky. Just back from the Lakes Tour and have definitely been bitten by the bug now!

Looks like the Travelodge at Leeds Bradford might be seeing a few Minis!

Cooperaidy - you have PM.

doggonwheels · Jun 17th, 2008, 02:00 PM

I'm pretty new to this. How will this work???? I'm from Leeds so wouldn't mind a trip out to meet up for the day on either Sat or Sun then run back home. Is there anyone else thinking about doing that??

Feel free to send me a message if you dont want to post on here

Gutted to be missing it as it was so good last year.

Sorry you can't make it Niall

I'll add you Nic, as you've promised to be good

Don't worry the notes will be done in time for the run. We need to do a final recce first though

The run is on the Sunday, starting at 11am and it should be finished by around 4pm. There's nothing planned for the Saturday although a few of us might have a run out to one of the Betty's cafes

C20OKB · Jun 17th, 2008, 03:43 PM

Hi Guys

We hope to be there on the Sunday, I think Darren has spoken to you Nicky about some of us comming up from York,

Its my first one and looking forward to it.

Enough for a MINI convoy to the run itself.

I promise not to get lost this time.

TomTom will get us to the run.

You also won't have a hangover so you should be more than capable of reading run notes.
