Someone must have read about our website rally there

That was a good trip wasn't it Bill. Even if I did have to come in the Fiesta cos the mog wheel fell off!

Lordy Christ.............201 miles.....yum.......can't wait.

Was contemplating joining the MOT-UK for a few days round the lake district, but that's 80 miles NORTH of where I am, certainly can't do both..........decisions, decisions.

You mean you have to think about it

Just do the most sensible thing Graham.

Both!

201 miles? Thats nothing really!!!! Would think nothing of that to get to a rally

Posted: **Sun Oct 12, 2008 10:23 pm**

True.

Somehow I think the chances of having it nearer Manchester are limited due to the complete lack of sun

Manchesters EEEEEASY! 4 hours in the mog!

Posted: **Sun Oct 12, 2008 10:32 pm**

Four hours in a mog is NOT easy!!!!

Posted: **Sun Oct 12, 2008 10:34 pm**

I've done 14 hours in the mog in one day! (on standard Series II seats!)

Posted: **Sun Oct 12, 2008 10:34 pm**

done it a number of times. Really not hard for me!

Posted: **Sun Oct 12, 2008 10:36 pm**

Depends on whether at the end of it you stand in a dry field or a wet field

Posted: **Sun Oct 12, 2008 10:37 pm**

Very true! As long as there is a good cup of tea (or some of the finer grape derived liquids) available

It's all in the balance (car drinking all day etc.)

Series II seats are great.

not done the JOGLE yet then? ;-)

If you want real hardship in a Minor - try being 6 foot tall and sleeping in the cab of a pick up! :p

Tea only, if you're driving.

Indeed they are. Jogle in the 53 convertible = not bad at all. Same in a 58 saloon = bad back....!

Do we have a date yet for the national or is it a secret!?
Already got some other car club dates and rallies for next June/July and hoping for no clashes. Some chance I know...

Same here - it's always hard to be in more than one place at once.
