New MINI Show 2011 - CONFIRMED 2nd October

[mikeythemini]

I am pleased to announce that the New MINI Show 2011 will be taking place on 2nd October at the ACC Liverpool (Echo Arena), Liverpool waterfront.
After a great 2010 show, we have a brand new venue right on Liverpools world famous waterfront. The venue hosted the MTV music awards & is surrounded by hotels, restaurants & shops.
The tickets will go on sale 30th March.

[weefossy]

We are up for it and dates don't clash with Tenerife this October. Looks like a great venue

[Craig]

Might pop down to this as a passenger ;).

[zimbo]

I might come down to this this year :yes nod:

[GP BILLY]

Anybody got a hotel in mind for this ? it was good last year most people together.

[Craig]

Is someone organising this? Lots of replies saying people are interested but nobody taking the bull by the horns!?!?

I would think hotels need to be sorted soon if folks are going.... If I don't go then someone can get the banner and flags etc from me ;)

I still quite fancy the trip down as it was a good laugh last year ;)

[Craig]

Ok, I have had the offer of a vehicle (thanks Mom and Dad ;) ) so I'm going to take this on....

It would appear that most of the cheaper hotels in the centre of Liverpool have already been booked up, so I'm not sure we will all be able to get into the same hotel near the venue like last year.. I don't really want to be miles away from the venue because A) hopefully we can get the cars in overnight again and B) the meal the night before is taking place effectively yards from where we are staying which is very convenient ;)

So can I please get definites from people who are going....
Have you bought your tickets?
Have you booked a hotel and if so, what one.

I'm thinking of the Staybridge Suites, mostly due to location and also they do king size beds, plus a bit of luxury never hurt Mrs D ;) plus they still have availability :yes nod:

[stoney]

Not got ticket yet and not booked any hotel yet !!

- IF IN DOUBT FLAT OUT :)

[Craig]

Anybody else confirmed as going? Will be a small stand with just 3 cars... :rolleyes:

Rob, are you on our stand or the GP club stand?

[GCA3N]

Would love to have gone the joys of offshore work. :(

[weefossy]

Craig, thanks for taking this on. We are defo going and it looks like it will have to be the Staybridge Suites for the Saturday night, as the Ibis, Jurys, Premier, and HI Express had no availability when I looked up earlier. If we can't put cars in the show area, we will have to go in multi-storey on the Quay as none of the hotels have private parking. Think all the multi storey have camera security.
Was thinking about stopping in maybe Keswick on the Sunday night, but haven't decided for defo yet.
Hopefully we can a lot more than 3 cars on the stand?

[AndyP & Lenore]

We are back to work this day after our hols. Sorry guys.

yeah the Staybridge says it has parking, but not sure where - it does mention it is secure...

We will have to come back up the road on the Sunday as Jude has school in the morning... ;)

yeah, hope we get more than 3, but I think some of our young northerners are coming, so should be fine. :yes nod:

[stoney]

I am with Nms for this one :)
We will be coming home Sunday after show same as last year ;)

Thanks Rob :thumbs up:

Surely there are more than 3 people in nms that want to go to this.... Had 9 or so cars last year ;)

Billy - I've text you about this.

[weefossy]

Will probably book the Staybridge later tonight for the Saturday. Will drive back home on the Sunday. Come on guys, sign up for this, it's the last big show for NMS before the winter sets in.

[Craig]

Ok Malcolm, I'll get this booked too ,,,, ;)

[weefossy]

Craig, where do we buy tickets for the show and / or do we need to tell them we want an NMS stand. Do we know if Paul and the "motely crew" from Northern Mini are going?

[Craig]

Tickets can be bought on www.newminishow.co.uk. Mikey knows we want a stand. Yeah NM are going :yes nod:

[Craig]

Thats my show tickets bought (£9 each) and also the Staybridge Suites booked. :thud: It's a lot more than I would normally pay for a night, but it's partly cos we are soooo late at getting this organised and also because it's rather nice and will keep Mrs D happy :clap:

[weefossy]

That's our hotel and tickets booked. looking forward to the weekend.

[stoney]

:lol: some of the GP lot have asked if they could join NMS as a lot of owners are putting there GP off the road for the winter so there was only going to be a few of them and a few of us it would make a bigger stand

[stoney]

Home safe, will post up more tomorrow as still suffering from bad head after Saturday night out.......I'm getting too old for this.
Stoney's win was well deserved, against a lot of strong competition. We didn't even bother entering, the competition looked so good.
Was also great to have 3 WC50's in one picture.

[AndyP & Lenore]

Well done Rob. Looking forward to seeing the pics.:thumbs up:

And it's all done by hand :lol: (for now)

And you are totally right about a clean car being much nicer to look at ect ect

I also got my self a litte sample pot of wax to try as have not found one that I really like yet :lol:


IF IN DOUBT FLAT OUT :)

[ianking]

One wee comment from a pic above is that you should have dressed under the plastic arches. Paint has a great shine though

[weefossy]

Ian it was so difficult. Arches were clean on Friday, got wet and dirty going down the road. We went to a jet wash in Liverpool, but it was still raining a bit until we got into the covered car park. Then there wasn't any water facilities, so we cleaned them again with detailer, but we were frightened we would do more damage than good. And to cap it all, it was raining again on the Sunday morning when we went from the car park to the show. Arches didn't stand a chance, think that's why judges probably discounted them.
Of course I could say Rob only won because we didn't enter....lol.
The boy done good

[ELFMAN]

NICE ONE STONEY!!!! GP-Tastic:clap: :thumbs up: :clap: Just read this.
Thought the car looked great when I saw it on Friday :smilewinkgrin: Obviously I wasn't the only one! :yes nod: :cool:

[stoney]

One wee comment from a pic above is that you should have dressed under the plastic arches. Paint has a great shine though

Yep I norm would have but we where not allowed to dress wheels and tyres and under car once in the show due to carpet on the floor ;)



IF IN DOUBT FLAT OUT :)

[Stewart]

What an arse, I looked at pictures on Total mini last night after I’d read you had won and thought

“ That GP0668 looks spotless Rob really must have done something outstanding to beat it”

Doh:blush:, thats what I get for looking for your plate!

[ELFMAN]

Stewart, trust me - this sort of thing gets worse as you get older... :frown: :argh:

[stoney]

ha ha thanks guys i have the show plates for it like to show off we are Scottish :lol:

[lorraine]

well done:thumbs up:

You'll never believe it !!! News hot off the press from Liverpool ....

Stoney has won the show and shine !!!! :thud: well done Rob, we are all proud of you :yes nod: :clap:

[weefossy]

Big thanks to Mikey for organising a terrific show, at such a fab venue. The whole Dockland area is beautiful. How come we don't have an arena to match that in Edinburgh. It was obvious a huge amount of effort went into the day. Also enjoyed the meal on Saturday night, where it was great to meet everyone. Will be there next year.

[zimbo]

The beast is still looking awesome as usual mom and dad :cool:

[ELFMAN]

The beast is still looking awesome as usual mom and dad :cool:

Ditto! :cool::thumbs up:

[weefossy]

Thanks Guys, appreciate then comments. Shows what a great job Mr King does. He last cleaned the Beast in april and I've only washed it, used some detailer and applied a bit of wax. And it looked like this on Sunday........apologies for sloppy number plate.....saggy blue tack!!

[Craig]

What about the wheel cleaner apprentice ?!?! :thud: :lol:

[mark1984]

nice car. well done.

[weefossy]

Oops!! forgot about the "sorcerer's apprentice". I did fill the buckets and Mom and the girls did make the Sunday lunch, so it was a team effort of sorts under "El Suprimo"

[Duncan Stewart]

:cool: Well done Rob :thumbs up: Wish we could have been there but we were abroad on holiday (home now)
Hopefully be there next year
