Any other members here make the brilliantly organised Illuminations 2009 Mini Run kindly put on by Derek Woodmans Blackpool.
Thanks for a great time and your efforts on this front are much appreciated Alison.
Lots of beeping, big smiles & waves from bemused members of the public as we went along. Lots of admiring glances at all our beautiful Mini's. So good to see so many in one place. Not sure how many but I'm sure we'll get to find out (heard passers by counting and think we were about number 44).
So strange to go through red lights with the police holding everything up for us! A really great adventure and I'm sure its the first of many for us, we've caught the bug now (even our dog came along and enjoyed his time).
It would be great to hear others experiences from the evening.
As usual, a well organised, even slick, Illuminations run, great fun.
I love the 'beeping' along the Prom and the general giddiness that goes with it. The support from the public is amazing, they all stop and watch/wave. Even better, we raise money for a really worthy charity.
Highly recommended every year for anyone who can make it.
Hope the dog enjoyed his hog!
we made it! The missus and the two little ones loved it! We we're in C1 YDN. Have to back up the two other posts about how well organised and thanks to the police for their support.
Only picked the car up today and what a great first mini adventure!!
S8 RAH we saw you and recognised your car from here straight away.
Many thanks to Ali and all the team at woodies had a cracking night managed to make it right through this year
Great to go through red lights without getting collered good to see a mixture of MINIS and minis in one place
we have some piccies but not sure how usable they are - will post some once the boss has had a nosey thru - our battery ran out so don't have as many as I would have liked.
We came Too, nearly brought the dog maybe next year, Great night, Big thanks to Alison, It was nice to see so many mini's. recognised some reg plates S8RAH yours was easy to see as it was at the front as we arrived! We were in S3KLB
The illuminations run was last night (13th). I think this was the 4th year and I hope it goes on forever.
It was great to see so many cars I recognised.
I was in t'Pool one weekend last year when the Chrysler PT Cruiser run was on and that was something to see. There were more extra lights on the modded cars than on the lamp-posts on the promenade.
I'd be keen to attend next year's run with the Mini forum.
