Not long now... Looks to be a good weekend weather wise, and all tickets sold out so it should be awesome!   Any people got any last minute things to mend on their mini? I'm having to put another head on my mini as we think my current one is warped and I'm producing mayo like a trooper   

 

Also what parts of the country/ other countries is everyone coming from?

 

About 10-20 of us are convoying up down from Norfolk :)

 

Hope to see you all there!

My wipers decided to pack up on the way to Brands yesterday so not trusted the british weather I want to get that sorted beforehand. Besides that my little wreck will be there before I start taking all the insides out and treating her to some new shiny bits :)

 

I'm coming from North Kent, south east london way

Cool - I feel better about the jobs I need to do now after reading the above! Good luck...! 

 

I'm travelling from Southend over to Croydon on Saturday to stay with a friend and then from there over to Crystal Palace in the morning.

I cannot wait! This is my second time now after my first time last year. It was awesome last year so hoping this year will be too! Need to do general checks and maintenance before I go. Also a few of my club are coming from the West Midlands. Like it is stated in the OP, weather looks promising.

I don't have my mini anymore, but may steal a gopro off a mate and head down in the convoy on my motorbike to get some driving shots of you guys!

I'm excited about it, always am! The only problem is I moved a few weeks ago and I'm not sure where I packed my ticket!

Plus I now need to work out a new route to get to Crystal Palace.....

Definitely! Driving to Monaco 2 days later so it will be a nice little practice run.

Most unusually I actually have both my Mini's on the road at the same time at the moment, so I haven't actually decided which one I'll be taking! I couldn't make it last year, but the year before was a very nervous drive down on the Saturday, because the engine only went back in the day before!

I'm excited but also nervous as be furthest the mini has been driven since all problems I had so fingers crossed she does okay
