Awww man!! I was there all weekend and didn't see any of you guys! I only saw a few people, including a couple of faces I didn't know, but I don't think they knew who I was either! :D

I broke my 306 on the strip on Saturday :lol: Bodged for now (though it ended my runs for the day!) and fixable so not all bad, I took it easy on the way home today though! And it was well embarrassing being pushed back off the starting line =] ;)

I'm so sun burnt too :thumbsup:

Did anyone watch Terry Grant doing the stunts this morning? When he nicked someone's camera and videoed himself? That was mine! :thumbsup: I'll put the video online and link it up!


yep i saw him nicking the camera and taking it for a spin.

see him run over that celtic mini lads jeans in the legend haha

So. Got back from Santa pod earlier today. Met some great chaps from here, and other forums!

Had a brilliant time, apart from my 402pictures id taken on my camera, has somehow broke... And i keep getting Card Error. I dont want to format the card, as i'll loose everything !!!

Anyway. In the end, i only brought: overriders, stone guards, cooper petrol cap, and a Austin Cooper badge.

They wanted £200 for a roof rack ;) [eBay ftw]

Managed to fit them this afternoon aswell! :lol:

i saw your 306 get pushed back! haha
looked well.
you need to get that video up.

Lol yeah luckily it was only water - too many runs blew a hole in the radiator! :lol: I got 12 runs in though, and got all of Blackett's photos of me on a CD, 32 photos for £30, not bad!

The Grant video's currently uploading to Youtube, as soon as it's up I'll link it here :D

Been back a couple of hours now - I thought it was a pretty good show - nothing compared to the IMM last week, but then that's not surprising! The layout this year was a lot better than last year with the Mini only car park being a lot closer to the main display area and the clubs were a bit more in the middle of the show area this year rather than being right at the far end like they were last year.

I have just finished uploading my photos which can be seen in my Photobucket album.

One of my favourites was also one of the first cars I saw this morning just along from where I was parked - this very early and very nice Austin Countryman with the fuel tank on the N/S of the boot area rather than under the floor like the later ones:
