Quick service, all grease nipples, quick visual underneath to make sure nothings fallen off or rusted ...make sure everything works - then I'm off.

I wash it, clean all the chrome, polish it, check my fluids then off. Usually early the next morning.

This year I plan on a lot of work before the shows, carpet out, floor treated and painted again, sound proofing down, followed by new carpets then door cards made up, hopefully source some reverse rims and get rid of the arches and go retro style

Make sure I can get to shows anyway possible that avoids motorways. Wash and wax. Take accelerator cable, enough petrol, and other mini owners to go down with.
