We now have a sense of identity! Maybe we could be Mini2 Middx Mini Maniacs

The 3rd one will be on April 6. Everyone is welcome.

As per previous 2 runs:

9.30ish meet n greet at Master Brewer Motel, on A40 in N Hillingdon
10.00ish set off
10.05ish lose our first person from the convoy

en-route 2-3 stops for fag break/loo etc
1.00ish finish at a pub for food/drink/chat

I will try and modify the route slightly again and promise to type up directions if we get 8 or more MINI's! I plan on doing a pre-run in 2-3 wks time to map out the directions just in case they're needed. If you want to help you are more than welcome - its only me at the moment

If this run continues to get good support I will make sure we eventually get 3 routes to choose from

Starting places on the grid are being allocated similar to F1 style - fastest to sign up get to go at the front.

cheers

Now i've got my MCS, i'd love to come, but i'll be in Amsterdam. I'll be there for the June one though!

Can I have provisional pole position for that one?

Speedd · Mar 5th, 2003, 04:02 PM

Book em dano

We will there

they say.. not another muddy experience

Here is the story, we now have another sales person the Darren has assigned to us who is on the ball and delivery looks good for the 7th if not B 4..

If all goes well then we will be back from ski hols and all the bones will be in ones piece I hope..

Stop that i say...

I can hear you all thinking "we've seen him drive!!can the boy ski"

well I only started last year so lets hope all is ok, but rest assured we will be there.

If the pooper cooper comes B 4 (Prays Every Day), then I will drive it up and down the M40 or round the M25 to run her in.
We will also be running in the front of the convoy

IF and IF 4 some &#$£%~@&* reason pooper cooper

does not turn up for that weekend then hey the "AUDI WILL BE BACKKKK!!! "

Also can I bring the puddy cat?

Shams let me know if I can help with anything

(I have the boots(Mr EVL), shovel, planks off wood and digging equipment on the list so far... oh also a brolley for Stu

with some spare T shirts and collecting some ash trays 4 SC)

Anand and J4GS K

Speedd · Mar 5th, 2003, 09:17 PM

Mc Garrett

Tip-Ex me off pweese...

I am double booked on tht day

Sorry but when the dummy runs are on please can I join..

Sure they'll be more suitable for me

until the next run AND I have penciled the diary for every 1st sunday of each month up until the calender allows me.

Bad Manners · Mar 5th, 2003, 11:02 PM

Err - me planning to be there - looks like the Bad Man may have provisional pole position?

Anand - don't you go getting stuck in any snow drifts

If you think your puddy cat can hang on round the bends, I s'pose you can bring it along!

paddlefoot · Mar 6th, 2003, 08:38 AM

Count me in again please. The shoes are almost dry and the car is clean. This situation cannot be allowed to continue

Sham - lemme know when your dry run is as I might be able to make that too.

Anand - well done for ditching Harold!

Laura · Mar 7th, 2003, 05:21 AM

We'll be there again - I guess that put puts me on the second row! Last year that might have put me in a Williams but given the evidence I've just observed during my nightshift I could be in a McLaren or even a BAR!

If Anand isn't going to be driving I shall have to take the rather tasteful cagool I bought for Stu back to the shop!

Sham - I'm afraid I'm fully booked for the weekends leading up to 6th so I can't help with the route this time sorry!.

Martin L · Mar 7th, 2003, 08:54 AM

Sorry mate, but I can't make the April one

BTW I'm guessing that it was you this morning in the MINI One waving like a nutcase at me..... or were you just gesticulating at me to get out of the middle of the road

Well it started out with the former when I saw your car and then ended up with the latter when I saw who was driving it

dcfkan · Mar 7th, 2003, 09:42 AM

May be able to make the August one, I shall let you know nearly the time

So is your car "sick" too or is it getting upgraded

At least the courtesy cars I get don't have the dealers name plastered all over the side of it

Shamster · Mar 7th, 2003, 10:45 AM

just minor stuff - squeaky wipers, creak from dash, buzzing sound from rear of drivers window.

I did comment when they gave me the car with the ad but that was all that was available at short notice - I didn't want to wait 2 weeks. They normally give a 318 or 520.

blackadder · Mar 10th, 2003, 12:12 AM

I'll be there, do you need to know how much fuel will be in car the day before the race?!

Shamster · Mar 10th, 2003, 11:43 AM

At T-4 weeks here is the list to date:

Shamster
Bad Manners
Paddlefoot
Laura/Stu
Blackadder

Pre-run (to formalise directions) planned for Mar 23rd depending on if we have 8 or more MINI's showing interest for April. I suspect Mad Tart may salsa her way over for the next run as well

- she should be back off hols soon.

stephen_cy_wong · Mar 10th, 2003, 04:53 PM

Hi Shamster,

you can add me to your list for the April run.

I don't think i can make the pre-run on 23rd March.

You being the first on the road, does this make you the pace car? Purpose to sweep roads clean for us?

Bad Manners · Mar 10th, 2003, 08:30 PM

I won't be able to join you on 23rd, 'coz I'll be up in Yorkshire on the Heartbeat Run (unless you fancy a detour?)

But of course - my only concern is the ford round the back of Fulmer isn't too deep as I'll be the first to go through it!

- errrm - prob not a wise idea for me as I may find all my belongings in the front garden on my return! Especially as I'm booked in for the Peaks run as well as our own ones at the mo!

Bad Manners/Stephen - the 23rd is only provisional it could also be the 30th depending on the number of people that are interested in the actual run in April.

I'll update this list each Sunday/Monday but we have 6 cars so far.

coopersworks · Mar 12th, 2003, 12:48 PM

COUnt me in as long as i have my car by then (Should be last week of march by the time the conversion is done) and if the hartage conversion is there then let the games commence!

Shamster · Mar 17th, 2003, 06:55 AM

weekly update -

the goers at T-3 wks

Shamster
Bad Manners
Paddlefoot
Laura/Stu
Blackadder
Stephen Cy Wong
CooperSworks

I have now found some extra roads (v nice and twisty)

.

addman · Mar 17th, 2003, 03:17 PM

I'd be interested in coming along if you're planning one for May/June, Cooper is due 1st week of April but I'd like to get to know her a bit first

plus I'm booked for that Sunday already...

Adam.
