C'mon guys I was half expecting a bit more abuse than this I'm disappointed!!!

Yeh I'm fine thanks ben just absolutly gutted really. I'm hoping to have it sorted out tomorrow if I get chance, Basically I got a smashed light, bent bumper that's bent back and a dented wing but once the lights out I think it will tap out *fingers crossed*. I did try to get round Mike but I'd already locked up and wasn't going anywhere but forward!

aboot the nearly losing it was when I was about 6 inches off a BMW while chasing ben and wobley through and s- bend!

It was a very good run well... apart from mating mini's

Was a good run, Biff didn't like the hills though the Mini's in front of me kept vanishing! Not sure how appreciative the Mini's behind me where of my slowness. When we got to the car park where people got brews,.. MrSlaphead said he had thought about pushing Biff up

Just before we got there some stupid Audi driver coming the other way came round the corner far to fast, n went on the grass verge a bit before managing to correct himself enough to swear at me,.... obviously was my fault as i was no where near the corner at the time,... made me giggle tho!!

We decided to jump on the motorway from that pit stop rather than doing the run back,.. so missed the Mini's sharing a kiss. Hope they both alright/easily fixable,... <<< is the reason i'm not a fan of runs, people get all giddy.

Thanks Ben for a good day out athough I seem to spend most of it following the wrong person!

Got lost on the way to Caton and then again on way from it too! Basically I went out on my own runs!

Oh well I enjoyed it and will be back again but am going to stay at the front next time.

I'm glad you used one of my pictures for magazine. It makes taking them worthwhile.

Here's the photo's I took:-

Sorry about the slight detour on the way up but it was a good mini run, apart from the van stopping in the middle of the road outside bentham!

Aaaah, are you two going to rekindle your relashionship, bumping into each other again.
As for the character of your mini, it needs all the help it can get ha ha

I dont suppose that there would be another run on 1st March would there ? ... only reason I ask is that I am up in the general area-ish on holiday then (taking my mini on holiday with me) and I would love to join in with anything Mini related whilst we were away

hi. well done for starting the northwest runs. i agree with you 100% about the lack of mini events that was mentioned in the mini mag. i've only been on the mini scene for about a year now, but have managed to get to most of the main shows last year, all at a cost. just recently found hell and back and i am interested in knowing when your next run is planned. maybe a request should be sent to the british mini club to organise a show in the skipton area. what does everyone else think?

[fergie]
