Have been looking forward to this all week, got the car loaded and ready to go an 8am, started down the M4, 1 mile from bristol, and we start leaking water

Try to limp through bristol and thought i could sort it when we get there but dropping 2 litres of water per mile. Gave up at the Clifton suspension bridge.

Water pump gone!

AA realy home. D'oh!

Anybody got ant pictuers?

What a shame buddy you are not having much luck either didnt you have a brake down on the way to Newquay too this year? Hope you get it sorted ok and have better luck this year.

Yep, bought a dodgy dizzy, got the new water pump when i got back, (halfords had one on the shelf) will be fitting it tomorrow night. Have got relay and now a tow rope on the car, spare points, condencer and rotor arm spare HT leads, and a distributor cap, and a set of jump leads.

Will try and get to the western mini day on the 19th of july if I am allowed, baby No 2 should be arriving on the 12th July.

Spenner - I was wearing a "Reggie Says Relax" T-Shirt, White Heart Shaped Sunglasses, Pink legwarms and white pumps?

I Bean, I didn't see you either, I did see some people wearing that t-shirt though, perhaps I didn't recognise you??!??!

Shame, it would have been nice to see you.

Didn't spot anyone else either, thought I saw Shedonwheels, was she dressed up?

I'm surprised no-one saw me I was wearing my bright yellow top and I mush have wandered round the show 6 times

Oh and bargain of the day, free rubber seals!!! I got loads to see what's going to work best in the Sprint.


Oh and did anyone else notice the lovely light blue fibreglass mini, it was really nice!

I saw some people in the "Frankie Says Relax" ones, but we were in our own that we made!

Kris was in very short shorts, so you probably would have noticed!


Yeah - Shedonwheels was dressed up - She had a bright blue skirt on!

[CharlieBrown]

Kris was there as well?! How could I miss the both of you!

I think it was Shedonwheels I saw then, almost said hello but I wasn't sure it was her.

What club were you with?

[Bean]

Bullseye Mini Club! We were right by the Concourse area - Next to the Marcos club

How did you get free seals, anyway!!? I had to spend stupid money on mine!

[CharlieBrown]

I must have walked passed you then!

Oh the seals were only offcuts, but perfect for me trying to see what fits best.

[mini_mad69]

I was by the concourse section for a bit, I was the only amature auto jumbler there, all on my tod, you may have seen the blue mini, one wheel arch fallen off. And me and my mate sitting there. Only a small amount of autojumble though.

[mini_mad69]

Anyone else struggle getting in and out of the place? I was in 1st at idle speed and still had my wheels hitting my arches and the floors hitting the ground. Bad times, it's being lowered more soon aswell.

[shedonwheels]

and fluorescent pink leg warmers...I wasn't dressed up though, just in my average daily attire?

I didn't see you charlie! Not sure how i missed the t-shirt!


I had a good day, it was a nice show pretty small and easy-going although it would've been nice for a few more traders to be there. Some of the clubstands were amazing, not sure which club it was but one had an eighties theme and all the minis were wearing rollerskates out of card!
I made a mini cake for the competition and then unbeknown to me it got used in the eating competition later on I spent hours decorating it and someone wolfed most of it down in about 3mins.

Got a few photos of the day, will upload them in a bit.
