Had a fantastic time - managed to get Annie her proper bonnet badge and some spare decals which is the 1st time I've seen either anywhere and we got a good deal on both :dontgetit:

Apologies to everyone else on the stand - we weren't the best company as we'd spent the previous 2 nights camping with some mini friends and totalled 6 hours sleep over 2 nights and rather a lot of alcohol abuse :dontgetit: we were just going to get some brekkie when we got there (as we'd been up since 5.30) but bumped into some friends, and the stall with the bits for Annie was next to the coffee stand....and the next thing we knew it was lunchtime !

It was good seeing/meeting you, but we were so tired and still had to go back and take our tent down so we did leave quite early and weren't able to say goodbye

An awesome weekend though and the best shopping trip ever !!!!

we had an awesome time... even if the kids were a bit hyper (ok... a lot hyper).

i managed to get some photos of the cavalcade, but my batteries went dead about 1/2 way through... at least I got some of cowboy playing around :dontgetit:

oh yeah, the spare batteries for the camera ( about 24) were in cowboys car!!! not much use to me there, but borrowed Nicola's as well as the ones i had in so didnt do too bad. will upload them to the gallery probably tomorrow.

spent quite a lot of money, but also had 3 kids to feed and treats for them. got the small bits that you dont really want to order because it will cost more for postage. also got the kids a picnic set of dishes each and 2 mugs that we were going to get at southern mini days. oh, i also got the sticker i wanted made up for the bonnet of my car.

had a great time meeting everyone that we could, sorry to those we didn't get a chance to meet up with. i did have the stickers, but wasnt always at the cars.

had fun again taking tents down in the blowing wind... reminds me of the first mini meet we went too. we did manage to have our nice new gazebo up at the campsite.... for about 5 mintues before the wind decided it was going OVER!! scared me because I was right beside it and went to reach out and grab hold of it, but decided that i prefer my arm attached to the rest of my body! good thing we have a spare corner piece because one snapped practically in 2!



will post more up tomorrow when i have had a nice hot bath with lots of bubbles and a good sleep in my bed.

Club stands, and trade was really good, just a little peeved that we missed out on on a stand and had to park in the carpark...
You'd have thought they could have managed Mini only parking, or am I being a Mini snob.. !!

Who camped the night before, boy did that blow a hoolie...!! ( nice flat field :saywhat: )

I liked the KAD quick shift but resisted when the thought of driving in town traffic hit me, I'd end up with an arm like Arnie

Anyone else break a tent pole ...?


Personally I think TMF was to blame for the weather on Saturday night - it's not like it's the first time this has happened !!!!!!!! Remember Sandown ?!

:dontgetit: :) :dontgetit: :dontgetit: :thumbsup:

We've just got back from mitp. Met some of you guys on tmf. hello again to you.

It was really windy so i'm glad that i didn't camp out that night.

I bought loads of bits for my mini - a new wing, a pair of a panels, scuttle panel, some windscreen seals, and some of the silvery bits that go round the windscreen!
All in all my little 'Dizzy' got spoilt rotten. I spent more on mini parts than I've ever spent on myself shopping in London's Oxford Street!!!!!!

Loads more bits too numerous to mention, and I can't remember the valve's proper name!!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
