I ought to be there... Anyone fancy a Monte-Carlo rally plaque, if I can knock one up for download in time? Did one a few years ago and it seemed to be a bit of a hit.
Happy Minoring!

I'll be there in my green '69 traveller, with my wife, poodle & Dad. Driving from Bristol to Leighton Buzzard on Sat, then via central London to Wandsworth on Sun morning. Hopefully with new rear suspension if I can get the (insert expletive) front shackle pin out :evil: , and probably with red primer all over the front o/s wing......

I won't be there this year - partly due to lack of road going Minor and partly due to having just spent the last weekend in Brighton, and thirdly because of family commitments that w/e anyway.

Have fun everyone - and don't forget your thermal undies / coats / gloves etc...

Weather's not looking too promising at the moment... the lovely weather I enjoyed this afternoon is supposed to give way to rain solidly until the weekend. Joy.

The last time I went, it was bitterly cold. Was hoping for something a little more spring-like ~ some sunshine at least!

We can still hope, eh? :D
Happy Minoring!

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:
