Brilliant night, even my Daughters hooked on MINI's .

Likewise. I think that was one of the best things about it, so many kids loving the MINI's, both insdie and those pointing on the street. There was many open mouths!

Many thanks to the team that Organised this night, was a great turn out and hopefully a bit of money for the house hospice charity

The lights were good, but I like the look of horror on peoples faces when they see X amount of MINI's driving through them!

Who were the crazy woman in the Preston registered light blue convertible, you did make me laugh driving around and around and around again!

Again many thanks. Will look at the pics tonight but some are blurry from what I can remember. Hopefully are in House Photgrapher "RAMS" got some good shots!

Cheers

Thanks for organising a great night Ali!

At one point I was the only MINI so I turned round thinking everyone had gone! Only to then see LOADS of them again on the way back through the lights. So I turned around again and slotted back into the convoy.

So that's what you were up to. We were all stuck behind that pesky coach. When I finally got passed he'd let the entire population of Blackpool out in front of him.

Thanks Ali for organising. Good night, shame it was so busy. The first section was painfully slow, then a decent pace between the piers up to the roundabouts with the UFOs. Then ground to halt again

Didn't make it to the pub for social either Sorry to those I didn't get chance to say hi too, next time.

Massive thanks Alison, we had a great time Fantastic to see all those mini's in one place and the look on peoples faces as we all drove down the prom.

Big thanks to the guys in the blue r53 who showed us the way back to the M55. I think i'd still be in Blackpool now otherwise

Uploaded my pics to Blackpool Run Oct - a set on Flickr

, that coach seemed to be a rolling road block!

Sorry I didn't get much of a chance to chat to you Simon, but the JCW seats looked the dogs.
