It would be great to meet up at Beaulieu, but there will not be an official MK1 perf Cons stand this year.
I am hoping to attend, but have far to much on in real life to do more than that.

Too many cars...

You went last year didn't you Tom ? , they haven't moved Bulee further south have they ?
It is a long way for us to but me and Steve went in his rally car last year and the hours just fly by when your both talking bollocks.
It's the only static show worth going to in my humble and always right opinion so well worth the trip (and the hangover !).

The Newcastle & Durham Region of the MCR + freinds will be putting on a smallish display of cars this year - your welcome to join us if you have a car you don't mind people poking holes in!
I've provisonally reserved eight spaces and have six cars already (five Mk1's & a MK2 trav) but there's probably scope to increase numbers.
Let me know.
Niall.

In previous years I've added a few days holiday on to make it worth while but last year we drove there and back in a day... 12 hours in the car... with leather and cruise control

thats cheating Tom!
the misery of 8 hours each way in a mini is part of going to bue-lee
your missing the fun of such games as 'when (not if) will i run out of petrol, and the 'dip stick challange
please note, these are my own, individual sales, nothing whatsoever to do with my employer, minispares

When is it this year?
It's the first time for about 4 years that I've had a mini on the road, I might wander along this year.
