Bristol Classic Car Show.

I'll be there in the turbo'd trav, its usually a good show.

You'll scare people away with that word before 'meet'

. I'll possibly be there, not sure yet.

Whats wrong with the MMOC?? This forum is MMOC hosted and run.

Am I missing some sort of hostility or friction between the club and Forum users here, their one and the same in my eyes.

Mini meets are great ways of fellow members meeting up and kicking tyres and just good fun. A club cant run without interaction not thru a forum or a magasine issued 6 times a year....oh, and a national meet and local braches of course.

Just an excuse I thought!

No, you're missing a very small joke, based on an entirely fictional hostility towards minis...

Hostility or Friction? What are you going on about? Andrew's comment is quite clearly light-hearted.

What, a Series IV meet now, is it?

Post by **Robins** » Fri Jan 26, 2007 10:02 pm

I'll more than likely be going, depending how many pasengers I have decides if we go in my moggie, if I do that'll make two turbo'd moggies there.

Or of course I could get the Mini out and come up in that if you really did want a Mini meet

Some years ago the MMOC had a meet with the Mini fraternity at Malvern Show ground. Seemed a very good day and I have often wondered why this event was not repeated; everything was under cover as well.

Post by **heathy12** » Wed Feb 07, 2007 12:11 pm

Well, I thought it would have been a nice idea after reading the club newsletter about the web meet but no one seems interested.

I tried!

Should have named it the Sheeeeeptown Malllleeeet Meeeeet, might have got a bit more interest then like the southampton Tawn meet thread.

See who evers down there on the day if anyone else is going. I'll still be there in the Turbod trav.

Not many Minors showed up on that ocassion unfortunately, and it was bitterly cold.

I could have sworn I posted. I'm planning to go on the Saturday with my boy, to look at some shiny stuff and look for some bits and pieces for the Lemming.

Heathy, you might want to padlock your bonnet down in case I see the Trav

And if you call if Sheeeepton Mallet you'll get a load of Welshmen and Yorkshiremen very interested

I vaguely remember some Minis - a few originals and a fair few boy racer versions, but mainly I remember the COLD!

Post by **Judge** » Wed Feb 07, 2007 6:26 pm

Me too!!!!

Post by **millerman** » Wed Feb 07, 2007 7:08 pm

It was cold but the idea was good, so there appears not to be the demand for such an event.

Post by **RussLCV** » Mon Feb 12, 2007 7:45 pm

I shall be there on the Saturday...................see you there Daniel

C'mon guys, pop your name down and make it a proper BO little meet!

Should have my Minilight alloys fitted by the weekend, just got my longer studs thru so if anyone wants a shot in the turbo'd trav they have a fairly large carpark! My brother dad and mate were doing Handbrake turns there year before last!

Roll on Saturday!
