Me and Matt with my Inno Mini Minor and GTM resto project. Hopefully my dad is coming down on the Sunday too with his camera to take some reference pics of the other GTMs that should be there.

How about having some sticky labels that people could use as a name badge if they wanted ?

actual name, forum name or both. :idea:

Sadly, some of us on the wrong side of the big pond will be there in spirit only.
For those headed to Blyton, have a great time and please take lots of pictures/video to post.
Those of us State-side do have this to look forward to at the end of June though:

Sadly due to a torn Achilles, and Mini still not finished, I can't make it.
Hopefully at the next event though.

Sorry to hear that Morris, get well soon!

It was a long shot but aswell as our special guests on the first page I also invited Mini racing legend John Aley, however he is not able to travel but says he would have liked to have come along (especially as he grew up in Lincolnshire) and does send his best wishes.

I didn't dare reply to the 'I'm ready for Blyton, are you?' thread in case I jinxed it but...I think I will be there! with my dad Bill
and Mini as long as it makes the journey from Gloucestershire!

Wife and 12 week old baby are safely at Grandparents! I've stocked up on beer! and the mini feels much better after I did all 4wheel bearings, new rear brakes, adjustable rear brackets and a set up at Slarks

... I think I can nearly say I a- r--dy fo- Bl--on :P

Look forward to meeting you all.
Luke

we are coming up from the south coast.

not in a mini tho. maybe next year if it happens again,
been looking forward this show since it was first posted up last year. bit like beaulieu , seeing lots of rare cars, but with the added bonus of seeing them in anger, plus seeing some that don't go to normal mini shows

its going to be one of those shows that will be amazing and talked about for years. so many rare , famous cars and people in one place.

hats off to those people who have put this all together

we see you all there
