Mini Convoy - some pics added

[BJN]

I'm going down to Blackpool tomorrow for the record attempt for the largest mini convoy (currently 195) on Wed night think its a big of an oversight not aiming for the biggest single make convoy (which is 249, set by Mazdas in New Zeland) fingers crossed that enough people show up so that Minis will hold the 'proper' record.

Anyone else going?

Another point does anyone have any of the NMS leaflets? I could have, so that I could distribute a few on the night, there might be a few ex-pats there!

You can download them from here (http://www.newminiscotland.co.uk/downloads/Flier.pdf)
Simply print off as many as you need and flyer as many cars as you can, say approx 200 should do it ;)

[Burple]

Only 195?? ;)


Then again I don't suppose the Classic Mini London to Brighton run really counts as a convoy.. 3000+ cars all trying to use the same piece of road out of London on a Sunday morning!

Did that one twice. Awesome.
:cool:

According to the info pack, to be world record, the convoy has to travel a MINImum of 2 miles with no more than 2 car lengths between each vehicle.

I'll be there BJN... only 25 minutes away for me.

[BJN]

Nice one might see you there, its only 225 miles me from me.

Look out for Hyper blue MCS K5 SSG is the plate at the moment

Off to bed now, before my jaunt to B'pool for the record attempt..

Who knows next time I'm on here I could be a Record Breaker

anyboard heard if they broke the record?

[The Dogfather]

Yes they did, 269 MINIs according to MINI2

[BJN]

Yep 269 minis in a big long line, I'll post some pictures later, they're not very good though as it was dark by the time things got underway.

But was a great night

A video I took on the convoy, not the best quality but you get an idea of the number of Minis involved
