I only originally went to see some racing mini action and to buy a couple of roof trim end clips, but my little wallet fairy had other idea's. Came home with a set of 13x7 Starmags + yoko's, Blue perspex sunvisors and various other bits, oh and I got the clips.

What sort of excuse do you call that?!! :D Quite a few years back, I flew into Birmingham airport from Tenerife with a couple of mates at around 3am on a Saturday morning, got a lift to the Northampton area (slept all the way!) where 2 of us got into my mates Minivan which had been loaded with camping gear 2 weeks previously and drove down to Southern Mini Days. I think we arrived at about 11am. And we got called lightweights when we crashed out at about 1am after (quite) a few shandys! Don't think I could manage it now, though - too old!!

You missed some lurvelly Minis giving it large round the track today, anyway!

Bought a brand new genuine clutch arm and some gearchange oil seals for the Clubby while there today, spending a grand total of £11 on parts!
