I think I'm going again this year.
Missed last year's.

Mr Juju has already let me know in no uncertain terms that he will not be joining me.

I think it might be a day for just me and my Matilda.

£25 if you are a member of LSMOC and you can apply now, or £30 if you are not a member and get the form from Miniworld when they print it.

£30!!! is that what it costs these days jeez!!! In which case I'll definitely be cheating again this year, by joining the run along the way and parking in a public car park in Brighton when I get there!! OK I won't get a runpack, or get to park on Medira Drive either, but then I also won't have to get up at some ridiculous hour, spend half the day sitting in a que at crystal palace or pay £30 for the privilege either!!

....& before anyone starts with the "there would be no run at all, if everyone did that!!" line, yes you are quite correct and I am eternally greatfull to all of you that pay your £30 for the run to exist, so that tight wads like me have something to hijack!!

I buy a ticket AND cheat.

I sleep in my own bed, leave home at 6.3- - 7.00, park outside CP, run in & get my pack, then leave with the first cars, and get to Madeira Drive in time for a nice spot. I call it civilised.

Ermmmm..... Now I'm not exactly sure whether I would describe that as the "best" or "worst of both worlds" !!!

Ha haa! For me it's the best.
I don't want to (try to) sleep in a park in Saaaaf Lahndahn with a bunch of highly bevvied loud strangers & then drive my precious car in a mahoosive traffic jam with sleep deprivation & a hangover.
I wants me run pack, I wants me snoozies, and I wants to wave at all the lovely people of Southern England who line the streets, be in a convoy, see the show & stroll along the seafront munching chips & mushy peas or an icecream (or both). So ner.

That said, I've just re-read my original thread back and now I'm developing something of conscience about not paying all the time!! .... So what time do you need to get to crystal palace in order to sneak in and get your run pack??

Hmmmm, maybe I'll be there sneaking in with you this year then..... or even better, you could create a diversion whilst I sneak in past the marshalls, then when I'm safely on the "inside", I can throw a rope of notted bedsheets over the wall (well hedge actually), so you can climb over too..... just like "The Great Escape" (...only not actually escaping from anywhere, or digging a tunnel for that matter... so not really like the great escape at all in actual fact!! )

[E.L.M.O]

Yup will be there as usual!

[samini96]

[tom3112]

Got my March Edition of Miniworld, sending my application form later today

[RsSpyder]

Just posted off my application. Hopefully should get a ticket - third year running i'll have gone. Doubt the old mini will be ready so it looks like it will probably be a MINI again this year.
