Right, I've just put the finishing touches to a rally plaque, for anyone that wishes to display it.

There's a gap for your username, so we can find other messageboarders. :)

I wanted to do one in silver, seeing as it is the Silver Anniversary of the run, but it just looked like grey and wouldn't have the impact required, so I've gone with green this year.

Let me know what you think. :)

Hmm... just realised I'm free on that day and so I'm tempted - when/where are we all meeting? Any other details would be welcome...

OK, those that are definitely coming identify yourselves, and there will be a piece of cake waiting for you in 'OJO' :D

Edit - PS You have got to have completed the run from London to Brighton in a Minor :wink: :lol:
I'm definitely coming in my green traveller. What sort of cake is it? Does it have lots of icing?
Cheers, Neil

Having seen the forecast, I've printed mine out and I'll get it laminated tomorrow, I think... :roll:

BTW, it works best if you don't select Fit to Printer Margins when printing. I found it turns out better on my printer without any scaling. :)
Happy Minoring!

Gaah! Looks like I won't be going this year after all as Gracie needs a bit too much work and I am a bit limited on time at the moment... :(

Oh well, apologies to all!

Are they all still down there in Brighton??????

No reports as yet.

Disappeared into the Bermuda Triangle?

Would have loved to have gone. Did in spirit. Is there a plaque for that?

Good turnout, lots of nice cars, sun shining and warm enough to take my hoodie off! :D back home now and haveing a cuppa and then off to bleed the brakes on Muriel!

Hi ALL,

I had a nice time today, nice to put faces to names. Annette, you could have waited for me to take off the masking tape 'work in progress' :lol:

I seen your traveller in Eastbourne do you live in our town?

Sorry 'about that! :lol: We did come back later and other half was very impressed with the 'lump' under the bonnet as he put it!

We actually live in Newhaven, but can often be found lurking in Eastbourne (it has a £land!!) :wink:
