Sorry I missed this Alan but have a debilitating back issue. I sort of new Dermott about 25 years ago when I was an apprentice driving a mini, he owned a business opposite and had an Integrale if I remember rightly, a nice chap.
I believe he doesn't live that far away from me. He had a terrific mk3 S too.

Jeff, hope you enjoy the photographs of today. I too suffer from Sciatica which develops suddenly for no apparent reason and fully appreciate a run in a Mini can be painful. I think Dermott still has that Mk3 Cooper S :D :D :D

This year's event takes place on Sunday 14 August starting at 11.30 am and already from what I see the lineup of competition cars is fantastic. I understand at 3 pm the cars and motorbikes will circulate the town a few times to let people hear that period sound which we all love :lol: :lol: :D :D

May I book my place now Alan :)

I'll have the rally Mini again as last year.

Looks like the Traveller won't be ready until late summer - maybe CCMC show.

Great day out last year, and I ended up with an even longer route than others because of the cars in front of me deciding to follow the cars in front of them that were just heading home lol

Of course - I'm never without my trusty camera when I go to car shows :)
Fingers crossed I'll have the rally Mini MoT'd for the Argory show. Failing that I'll be there with my mum's MG Midget.
