While half of EDMC went to Newquay for the Rivera Run, the other half stayed at home and attended Eastbourne’s classic car show Magnificent Motors. Apparently there was approx 500 vehicles on display over the 2day event ranging from motorcycles to…well…minis. We cavalcaded down the seafront as the heavens decided to open up but this was short-lived and by the time we had set up the sun was breaking through the clouds. We shared a pitch with Sussex Mini Club and Screwball Mini Club, and as usual SMC had a good range of minis on show while SBMC had a large variety of 1 Mini City.
After having a wander round we came back to find flyers for SBMC on all our minis, so we decided that we would keep Robs daughter amused by making paper aeroplanes, frogs, and swans out of them. On my planes maiden voyage it flew like no other paper aeroplane and landed on the back of SBMC chairman’s wife who just happened to be bending down at the time. At this point everyone was wetting themselves laughing and the area was vacated. Meanwhile Bill had gone missing, but was soon found by the bar-bequest chatting away to a fellow mini nut.
On the Monday I turned up early to see if anybody else was there and ended up helping SMC rescue their marquee after a flimsy gazebo came crashing down the western lawns straight through it, bending the tubes and ripping a hole in the roof. Decided it was too wet and went back to Steve Medhurst house for brekkie.
Went back about 12 and found that 4 of EDMC had turned up.
The star of the show (apart from mingie2) had to be the V-Tec & K-series conversions which grabbed a lot of attention from the 30,000 or so people who flocked to Eastbourne Seafront over the 2-day event.
All in all a good weekend shame the sun wasn’t out as much as the previous year.
