Hello from my local internet cafe

Nothing wrong with being premature, so I am told

Have a great time folks - I hope the weather doesn't put a downer on things.

I've not read the route but by the title I'm guessing it starts in London? 50 Minis should improve congestion.

Phew!!! What A Day

Hi All,

What a bizarre day it has been. Thanks to ButtonIt and his fellow organisers for one of the strangest runs I've been on.

I was one of the last people to leave the start point, I went wrong an incredible number of times and was still the first to arrive at the finish point How does that work? I guess everyone else went more wrong than me

The directions were interesting at times - i never did see the SPECS cameras on Tower Bridge. And I must have bottomed out about a dozen times on speed ramps.

In the end it was me, DevilSushi and a EB/W MCS (sorry your name escapes me) who arrived at Saville Gardens, couldn't figure out where to park and ended up driving back and forth until a few more stragglers showed up

Up until Kew Bridge I was following Rick but he vanished into the traffic and I never saw him again. I'll get to introduce myself sometime soon Rick

In summary, I loved it Would i do it again next year? No Way Sorry I missed the picnic but i promise to stick around and chat at Chew Valley, the South Downs and the Cotswolds.

Cheers
Stuart

Hi Wigley,

Well I thought after our initial divertion when we (me and TonyM) took over at the front that we were last - I always intended to disappear after Kew Bridge and head back on the south circular and it seems as if I lost you just after the bridge (waited for a while but it was red route so had to move on and out)

Glad you got back ok and very suprised that we managed to leapfrog most of the others en-route

Chaos from the first set of lights

Glad to see you also made Hammersmith Bridge Soggy, had to be done

Only got lost the once and that was at the finishing line, but then with all the cars going back and forth we definately were not the only ones. Memorable moments: Seeing Stephen drive into the wrong car park and having to pay twice , lots of MINI's passing each other across Tower Bridge, excellent Looking forward to those pics if anybody got any.

Well done to all, a classic day.

Emma, Myself and Max the Mini, had a lot of fun, well right up until the puncture at the entrance to the park. Anyway the sealant didnt work but mini services had us at the staines kwikfirt in about an hour, and £15 later we were home. Sorry for those that missed out on the tomato sald, i ate in Richmond park.

See some of you soon

Right, now off to find out about wheels, apparently a VW Golf Mk3 space saver will fit in the boot
