Hi my mate James was asking for me about the blinds, as i had no access to the internet and he lives closer to the mini garage.

Ye i knew about them and went to mini last week, got the part ordered, went in today and he hadnt got them

but then had a voicemail sayin he did have them and they were correct, the previous ones he showed me were the clubman (haha wot a div lol), so av got them now... only paid £60 which aint to bad

Well I've been holding off on the "thank you to the organisers" post until my photos had been edited, but due to a technical problem this may not be for a few days yet.

Anyway. As the others have said thanks Mikey for organising such a awesome weekend once again. Thanks to Colin K, Tim, Paul and everyone else that helped the whole thing run smoothly. And of course thanks to all the MINI and classic owners that make this event such fantastic fun. As usual the roads were brilliant, the splashes fun, and the views awesome. It just has to be the ideal scenario for a MINI run, and the flawless organisation just tops it off.

Only regret from the weekend; Not getting a chance to browse the stunning collection of Hot Rods camping in the next field.

Oh and a final thanks to the organisers for voting my car Best Presented New MINI

Pics to follow over the next day or so.

Stevemac · Jun 17th, 2008, 02:13 PM

One day later, and the north west suffers a 30minute downpour. Just like last year, Mikey turns out a brilliant weekend, to be followed by what seems to be Monsoon season.

Brilliant timing or what?

Ian Clark · Jun 17th, 2008, 03:42 PM

I echo what everyone else has said. The run was, like always absolutely fantastic. Every year it is brilliant and it's not just the planning, dedication and the roads that make it, it's the people too.

Top quality people in top quality cars and a top quality run

I have some photo's. Difficult to take when driving but I got a few during brief stops

I''ll get them uploaded later tonight and linked here.

So, thanks to Mikey, ColinK, and everyone else (can't remember your names) who was involved in the organisation of a fantastic weekend.

Also (damn this is like the Oscars

), I'd like to say a big thanks to Mathmos Man for letting me stay in the West Wing of his Mansion. Was VERY much appreciated.

And my 2p - A fantastic weekend - our thanks go to Mikey and the crew for it !!

Cheers

R99 · Jun 17th, 2008, 05:46 PM

What section of minifinity am I looking for? I'm happy to post the pics up, just need a rough idea of which section?

Day dream · Jun 17th, 2008, 07:59 PM

Had a really good weekend - despite being cold and tired all the time! Thanks to everyone that organised the whole weekend. I've never made it to the treasure hunt before and that was really good (plus a brilliant excuse for going shopping

), although I managed to end up with Colink eating my LAKES TOUR sweets and Graham's daughter nabbing the Tom Thumb Pips too! Go figure! Will definitely be coming again next year, but will be bringing a stash of pro-plus and some ski-ing clothes for warmth I think lol!

bobnkaz · Jun 17th, 2008, 08:32 PM

Hiya, we ordered our mini blinds today after seeing yours (OJM) ...thanks - saves on tint !!!

bobnkaz · Jun 17th, 2008, 08:58 PM

Lordy - We're lovin the ducks pics... plus you have got a fab pic of our mini going through a splash (MT57 EOG) , is there any chance you could email it to us to bobnorbury1@hotmail.co.uk?

Many thanks

Bob n Kaz

bobnkaz · Jun 17th, 2008, 09:36 PM

Huge Thanks to Mike, Colin and the rest of the crew for organising such a fab weekend.

Here's a few pics that we took... the rest will follow.

Day dream · Jun 17th, 2008, 09:46 PM

On the feedback part of the thread, I think the treasure hunt might be a little easier if maybe there was a path to follow. Maybe just a starting point and then having the items following on one from the other? Just a suggestion
