Is anyone going to this in june, if so where are you travelling from. Does anybody know if it is just for classic minis or the new MINI.

If its the minifinity one they have a large group of new mini haters I and several friends were made very unwelcome

When I went to help a classic that had broken down & asked if he wanted a tow out of the lights he said he would never be towed by a german piece of *****

I used to be on minifinity when the MINI was launched and was surprised at the amount of hatred for it!! I'm doubly surprised that this is still the case and people are taking this attitude onto runs etc.

I'm sure not all people have this view...but it's such a shame when we could ALL enjoy each others cars!

Anyway...back on topic...I've no idea if it's just for classics or not!!

Stevemac · May 27th, 2008, 07:38 AM

I really hope that these were a one off incident, if we wanted a Classic we'd have bought one, The MINI is here to stay.

This is a Charity day out, they should accept us in the manner that we accept them, as enthusiasts who love their cars......

hetcooper · May 27th, 2008, 08:49 AM

your totally right there steve, after all it is a Charity day and i'm sure the general public would like to see MINI's there equally as much as the mini's......

Last year while walking through the show I stopped and asked a group of Classic owners, are any new Mini's allowed to take part in the display which one guys replied "its all for charity mate, Mini's a Mini dos'ent bother me which way" since then a couple of Classic Owners have stopped me and said would you be interested in comming on this show next year. I contacted Mininfinty and asked them the same I got no negative feedback.

So I decided to see what sort of interest there was with the Lancshire MINI register, now they'll be around 10-15 New Mini's included in the show, and I for one am really looking forward to it!

BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just had a reply from one of the organisers of the Blackpool Mini Run, and they have assured me that we will be made most welcome on their run.....

At the moment we only know that its starting from somewhere in Preston, details nearer the date. I can say that in order to take part in the Promenade display you need to register, otherwise you wont get on the promenade although you'll be able to join the convoy.

Its mainly Classic mini's and last year there where at least 190/200 of them and maybe 2 MINI's, as its sponsored by Minimaster, and run by Mininfinity they are all mad mini enthusiasts, but they say they will accept us........

The main event is run by Blackpool Borough Council, and is called "Totally Transport" with a huge range of vehicles,Old Buses, trucks, vans, vintage cars, TVR's, sports cars, american cars, and those Chysler things!!!! which are new vehicles, and of course plenty of mini's.
