Hi all...anyone bk from the Mini Show at malvern three county grounds?

Have to say it was my first mini mass meet and it was awesome..good job it was mainly inside as the weather today was rubbish

anyone else go?

[Chris_9866]

yea it was pretty cool, i need to get round to posting up some pics, what did people buy anything interesting

[s_robinson91]

It was rubbish for buying travelled 140 miles in total had to go through 4 flooded roads and only got 2 switches (£19) so not too good for me, the indoor mini park was good tho.

Yup, I went. Good turn Out considering the weather!

Took ages to get there though, because most of the roads were flooded.

It was pretty close to me..i just live the other side of Bham so was lucky..i brought a few chrome bits but im really low on cash this month so there more to window shop so to say.
Didnt go through any floods much but the weather on the motorway was nuts.
I have pics too...will defo need to put them up

mmm i didnt find it too brilliant, was good to meet a couple of people, saw the a-serious lot again, deanchad, and dogmatix whom was good to talk to. But the turn out wasnt great and the weather seemed to put a bit of a dampener on the day. That mk1 escort was a sexy piece of kit though.

Bring on the sunny shows! windows down, lots of convoys and smiles hehe.

Wasnt really impressed with the show itself, but was impressed by the amount and spirit of the punters.

Got myself a lovely battered motolita wheel that is amazing and the panels needed to get on with the clubby.

Wasn't impressed with the turn out today at all. Although I can't complain about Monty's parking space.

No decent traders at all.... I mean why the heck were there garden ornaments and a make-up stall on site?!? All I ended up with was some valve dustcaps and a spare condensor & points set. >(

Poor effort all round.

i noticed the makeup stand...i also noticed the amount of wives and girlfriends who seemed bored following the mini fans around..think that was their for them..lol...it did get quite busy at one point..
...it did seam quite their and what was with the garden tools outside?; chainsaw, spades, strimmer...i didnt buy any of them..i didnt need any for me mini..well not yet

[the.stroker]

well not a brilliant day,but still had fun,here are my pictures,enjoy!

[stickycreambun]

was ok, not great but cant imagine the weather helped..

good to meet a few new faces, and catch up with some old ones! didnt buy a single thing, cant decide if thats a good thing or not!

[alexcrosse]

those 3 cooper 's's were lovely. I couldnt understand the fossil stand... i just felt like telling him to go home, lol.

I wasn’t that impressed to be honest, the lack of traders/auto jumble was a big let down for me. One of the worst shows I’ve seen, even comparing to the StoneLeigh show that was cancelled this year, which is also nearer. As I only travelled the 200 odd round trip threw the floods and driving rain so I could buy more parts I desperately need for my project, of which I had a 2-page list and only came away with about 3 items off it.

And then on the way home, which wasn’t too bad as most places had dried up a bit, some in a taxi cut me up on the inside of the roundabout on the white hatched area while I was turning right and ripped the drivers wing mirror clean off, would have been worse if I had of spotted and swearved out of the way, as it’ not something you look for, someone cutting you up on the inside of a roundabout when your already in the right hand/inside lane.

Lucky I have a spare wing mirror that i can spray up, but that’s not the point. >

Must say I was a bit disappointed with the show - I don't think I'll be making the 200 mile round trip again next year! I also nearly got wiped out by a foreign lorry who decided that the left hand lane on the approach to a roundabout with no indicators on was for turning right from!
