Well, I'll have a passenger seat going spare, if you'd like a closer view of those Yorkshire hedges... If you're really quick, you might be able to pick berries from them as we skid past.

Skid past????

remembers not be anywhere near Andrew and his car on the run

but I will be bringing a camping stove and a big pot for the rabbit stew so we can recycle all our road kill

[dakini]

thanks NB ... i'm sure I'll be spreading my presence around quite a bit

I'll bring a stew pot for the veggies. so they're not contaminated by meat.

I have a distant memory of being behind you last year just before Sunday's lunch stop and seeing a close encounter with a hedge - going up some steep bends in the wet - and something about a directional tyre being on the wrong way? (Or was that someone else entirely???)

My memory isn't what it used to be - then again I can't remember how good my memory was...!!!!

Oh, nope, that wasn't me - I'm in an Indi Blue ONE. The directional tyre on the wrong way was on a Chilli Red MCS with a Union Jack roof.

Although, on the Sunday part of the run, I did struggle with a very steep incline on one bit... I ended up driving too slowly up it (traffic was backing up a bit), it was a little bit damp, and the Pirelli P3000E tyres were absolutely rubbish for grip. I was trying very hard not to spin the tyres whilst getting up, because every time I did, I stayed exactly in the same spot.... very tricky stuff!

No such worries this year with the Kumho ECSTA SPTs on the car (thanks for the recommendation Brum)!

Well things are looking positive for not working the run weekend. Not 100% confirmed but looks like should be able to make an appearance.

The question will be, if the weathers nice, which Mini to bring

[KillerByte]

Hmm... there seems to be very little accommodation left in Harrogate this weekend.

Kind of annoyed that I haven't booked mine yet.

[vickietots]

Oh no Kev!! Hope you can get something sorted!

[vigilante]

Couldn't sleep so had a bit of a surf for runs for the NEMC to do and this would be perfect but its on the same day as Mini Mania 2008. So we all be runnin round a field in durham in hi-vis vests, Lol.
looks like i won't make it on the dales run again. Since being sans MINI I don't get on ere enough. Lol. Sorry Nicky. Hopefully catch up with you all at an event later in the summer. if anyone will let me tag along in my, ahem, practical family vehicle.

[vickietots]

[Sportspack Mark]
