I think your right!

You'll need to get a submarine klaxon now Alan.

Cheers Calum, it makes my sploosh look less girlie than I expected, I think Duncan wins that category! Has Martyn got a snowplough on the front of his mini as well as a monkey on the roof??

Rob says thanks too, and a thankyou to everyone for making him and Herbie feel so welcome

Thanks Julz, but I think my fuel tank was emptier than most, so that helped my buoyancy

It is but unfortunately spinning the wheels through the stones has not done my rims any good at all!

The paint is all scratched off - my baby's not perfect anymore!! Daisy had the right idea!!

Sorry to hear of the scratches GAJ. I would not have thought about that, I was more worried about the water getting in the engine air intake.

I wonder if traction control might have saved that from happening? I did have the DSC switched on - yes a big lassie I know.

I had a quick look at my white wheels today and they appear to be undamaged ,but I haven't washed the black dust off them yet so it is possible they may yet have some scratches I can't see.

I thought I was going to have the girliest (sorry girls no offence ) journey through the ford but thankfully Sh@z looks like he went even slower than me

Thanks for the pic - excellent reminder.

Cheers,
Ken.

Hey you lot, I was just checking out MINI.co.uk and Wul's a winner in the yourminiadventures competition this month with a pic of his wedding MINI at the Bridges
I'm now thinking they'll be getting loads of 'ford' entries for next month

I finally managed to get my web browsing problem sorted on my Macintosh.

It turned out to be a piece of shareware called "Broadband optimiser" that I had installed - it clearly didn't do what it said on the can.

Anyway, I can now see the full details of Calum's pictures and movies in Mac OS X 10.2.4.

[GAJ]

Hehe! I ditched Broadband Optimizer and it works for me too! Good work!

The water splash photos are great. I think everybody was brave for letting their babys go through it. Although there does seem to be something about those black and white coopers that cause a bigger splash than most.

I'm sorry to hear about your wheels Gaj. I've just checked mine and they seem fine, although i have found a small dent in the side. I'm blameing that one on working on a construction site though.

I can't wait to get my photos developed. I'll post some pics if they're any good.

Sorry I missed the run last Sunday - looks like you had a great time.....though I did get to go skiing in France - and once again no broken bones

However - went out to the car this morning - parked in centre of town all week - and some torag has kicked the rear wing behind the drivers door - above and in front of the right rear wheel.

There is a big muddy boot print and two creases in the metal - no paint chips though.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Still - it's only a car that can get fixed.

Sorry to hear that John
