Is anyone going to this event? I thought since it shouldn't be too far for me to travel with the kids it would be a good event to go to.


Bristol Mini Day

[centralminiTC]

I went last year & it was fantastic for kids - they had punch & judy show & loads to do.......punch & judy kept me occupied for ages!! :grin:

The campover was great too....

I'll be there!

i've been thinking about going up to this show, never been before so what is it like? is it worth travelling up for?

[centralminiTC]

I've only been once before - and it was great weather so that helps. but the whole thing was really well organised and really good atmosphere with everyone. A fair amount of trade stands and entertainment going on so there is something to do when you get bored of looking round the trade stands.

Central Minis dont really attend this one as a club as the BMF is on at the same time (also after Riv Run and L2B they want a weekend off) - but me and my mate enjoyed it so much last time we are making sure were going again this year.

I recommend it anyway. :grin:

I'm going along with a few members of SMAC! It's one of our local events so it would be stupid not to go! Not camping this year though ;o(

[minimadjonesy]

not really, got a lot to do to prepare for the IMM trip the following week and this weekend is out of the question as I have to fit the Hi-los and new shocks to the rear of my motor and then on Saturday night we're off to crystal palace to camp for L2B!!

i'm still going to head up on the sunday morning with the kids. also have a shopping list from cowboy in iraq of bits to get if i can. the kids have all thier birthday money and tooth fairy money that they want to spend.

so if you see anyone with 3 kids all wearing TMF shirts looking stressed... I NEED COFFEE!!

[pimpedmini]

would of liked to drive up with you lot bungle but the engine won't be back in my mini in time so will have to leave it at home and go up in my other car.

[centralminiTC]

Hey Bungle - make sure you come and say hi...!!!!! Are you camping over?

[Teapot]

TMF people really exist! It was great to meet TC and Bungle at Bristol Mini Day today, where we all tried to dodge showers and much red Somerset mud. So now I have a connection with the Ring Run family. TC, I was a bit disappointed not to receive your usual greeting, namely a 30mph rugby tackle :nugget: , but I live in hope. Bungle, I’m impressed by your three-hour drive up from Cornwall to the show and then driving back again. Do they know what’s going to hit them on the European mainland? I doubt it. Roll on September!

sorry i didn't make it but following the f**k up with my engine i had to finish fitting a bog standard 1275 to the car! working now though
