We had an, urm, adventurous day!
7 Minis, 9 Break Downs on the way, 3 on the way back (6 of which were my brothers), and we're only from Bristol... And yes, that is 12 Breakdowns in all!
Had to have one of our cars (the yellow one) towed actually into the show by the 60's Van! The fuel pump arm had snapped so had no fuel. Got a new one, fitted it lovely jubly... until...
He was overtaken by one of us, stones flicked up abliterating his windscreen (as it was the old-skool toughened one), so we had to push as much of it out as we could then he drove approx 15 Miles without a windscreen, pouring down with rain! Brrrr Chilly!!!! And very wet!
So yeah, an aventful day I must admit! But then that's all part of the fun of it! A proper Mini Adventure!

i know how he felt driving with no windscreen, i did 250miles today without one.lol

the bloke selling panels beside our clubstand wasn't too chuffed when a certain lady on here (purple mini) ran over his neatly piled A panels

the bloke selling panels beside our clubstand wasn't too chuffed when a certain lady on here (purple mini) ran over his neatly piled A panels

My wheels stick out more

They were in a daft place anyway, a couple of vans nearly had them before you, strange how he moved them after though

[i love my grey mini]

great show all, shame about the derby an burton boys blasting there music, (thanks for frieghtening my little lad) some superb minis, got back to mine to find wipers and heater had packed up and a mini next to me not starting lol, but a quik bump start and a wiggle of my fuses and we was on our way. then on the way my n/s hi-lo went realy lo an wrecked my arch (bummer). apart from that we had a super day.....
ow and i got me a new gear stick, a brake spanner, and my adjustable shocks,

I'm sorry if i frightened your young one was not intentional didnt really have it on as much as people are making out think if ya added all the time together would of been about 1 hour max through out the day ,and our 2 year old didnt get frightened by a bit of loud music.Only one person asked me to turn it down and with in a couple of minutes it was off completely.

We went! Got a few photos, so will sort them out later!

Was good to meet up with Stiggy, Bec and Bounce again!


I bought alot of Mini 25 memorabilia!


2 MASSIVE posters, 2 pin badges, 3 stickers, lots of brochures, a postcard, a keyring, and a carrier bag! Massive thank you to the hubby and wife on that stall (The one on the left of the door in the top barn)!!

I also bought a smiths volt gauge, which hasn't even been used yet, for £14!


It was quite a small show, as usual, but I enjoyed it and I'm glad I went, just because of the '25 stuff!


Glad to see the price had only increased by 50p from last time - And not to £10 like Bingley!
