I should really check membership numbers, finger prints and ask some security questions but on this (and plenty of other) occasions I'll overlook it. ;)

Pete I guess I had better bring my shed over then so you have something to nail those sail flags to (I know you and Oulton Park, I just hope its only Bank Holiday Mondays :roll: ). Jan will also be in her Mini with at least one other Mini with us. :D :D :D

Hi Andy, I'll be there about 9.00am, look out for the MCR sail flags near the restaurant somewhere. At very late notice I've also been asked to help with a display of 'cars of special interest' ( I presume near the paddock?) which some of the board members here will be taking part in. Should have some interesting news on that soon. :)

Unfortunate the Innos servo has thrown a wobbler, so I'll be there in my '93 Sprite. I'll be there early Pete so get those flags up sharpish ;) .

So I'll see everybody in the morning, Mark, Paul, 2 x Micks, Jan, 2 x Johns, Tom, 2 x Steves, Bernie, Bill,Dave (on the rally stage), Chris, Matt, etc etc.

Entry lists are a bit thin for "classic" Minis. :shock:

However I will be taking a couple of AC/DC albums to get signed! 8-)

Really enjoyed the day today, very good turn out in the end (especially off here!). Spirit of the event award goes to a charging Tim Harber who was picking off the competition one by one until an errant (slower) driver in front made an extra mobile chicane at Druids forcing Tim to collect his back end :roll: . Tim went back out in the second race with somewhat bent car from the earlier skirmish, went even quicker and made up several places. Well done Tim, driver of the day for me. 8-)

Hope MSV put this on again next year and hopefully with bigger grids.

Aye, cracking day Pete. Didn't manage to bump into you, but spoke to Mark and Adam, and spotted Tom.

Would definitely go next year, hopefully in a mini!

Shouldn't say it but I loved that trick van with the Type R engine in the back, if I was 20 years younger.

Will post some pics up later.

:D
