Sunday morning, couldn’t help but think the alarm should have gone off earlier. Checked the time & it was well past time to meet everyone are the British Queen! Do’h!
An hour later after a frenzied sandwich making session, an F1 style fuel take & a blast up the motor way, we pull up at the gates of the Brooklands Motor Museum, randomly shouting MINI & thrusting our waving hands against the closed windows.
Mean while a convoy of minis enjoy a pleasant cruse along A & B roads bending the rules & ruling the bends. I missed out but sounds like Dave’s route was well received by all. An hour later they joined a rather empty club stand situated facing a limited mini only car park.
Hats off the Gary for keeping his hat on! Taking a risk he bought along his roof/side, back chopped, beach buggy mini! As ever, the well prepared Daz erected his gazebo to protect Gary’s interior from the unexpected spring weather.
The show was better than expected with a good turn out of fancy/tarted up show mini’s and a reasonable turn out by the trades, think we all got a bargain some where along the lines. I saved £90 on tyres!!
The motor museum itself was interesting, (as far as we saw, didn’t get a chance to look round much), but concord was a respectable sight…and a good chance for people to climb on-board one of Engineering’s greatest achievements.
Sadly the weather closed in & we all departed for home. Gary, John/Billy, Josie & myself opted for the motorway blast home, sensibly everyone else was keen to take Dave more pleasurable route home.
Everyone one got home well, Daz risked life and hell by getting the Mingie Cooper past the national speed limit, (I think his speedo’s rusted, LOL) and Gary toped up with some water ballast. Mind you he got the most attention on the motorway!! One Asian filled Audi made three photo passes!

All in all, a great day out and a good start to the Mini shows this year!
