Had a really good day today, nice to meet a few people, although didnt have to much of a chat with anyone, nice to see a few new minis around as at the start of the year it was all the same cars from last year.
I was watching the blue one on track and it was racing with the white one next to it that had a motorbike engine, so went to see what it was running and it was a 1380 with NOS, was so suprised as it was as fast as the white one!!!
i'll sort some pix out shortly now.

You've just struck a chord with me there Minillew. You reminded me that my dad drove a Princess in the 80's that was called '.........Mid Blue'. I'm off to Halfrauds in the morning to see if I can find it thier colour charts. Cheers!

Yep, Great show. Seemed strange not having to pitch the tent. ;D Nice to meet some new faces and the old ones again  Twas a shame it started raining as soon as we got there, but it helped with the entertainment on the track with a lot of cars going grass cutting. |

Me and my family had a smashing time too and for the first time ever we decided to walk around the whole of the track. It was great meeting a few of you and seeing Dai again, but I hope I didn't go waffling about Minis and stuff too much.   I took loads of pictures but it's going to take days to sort through and upload them, but I posted these on the International Mini Models Collectors' Club forum, which me and Dai are a member of and I thought you might find them of interest too?: - Dai on the far left and Me & Dominic on the far right. Plus Babybek serving behind the counter during the duration of the photo-shoot!: -  Here's a stranger trying to get in on the act?: -  |
