[Julz]

I could give you a total figure, but no fancy chart or anything!:D

[Big Col]

[Gismo]

Well, i've donated generously in other areas and i'll be attending the ball, so, please excuse me for not giving for this request as well :I

[Julz]

Don't worry Alan, you were not on the list of people to harass seeing as you have already donated generously!!:D

[The Dogfather]

I can donate a bottle of Talisker Malt from my collection, it's the only one which hasn't been opened (still on my first one).

[Smurf]

If you need bottles of booze for raffle prizes etc - we can empty our dresser no problem!
Drop me an e-mail if you want to, Julz.

[Mini Me]

we could always action off Cols build slot for January.....:p

[Big Col]

Yeah you action it and get it sooner mate! I gotta admit. For a minute there I thought you were going to say we should auction it off. Heh heh. How unfunny would THAT have been. ;)

:eek: or is that facial expression inappropriate? ;)

[Julz]

We've reached £100 folks, and that's only been 6 donations!! Keep them coming, and a big thanks to those who have donated so far;):D

[Mini Me]

Instead of a run,why not try i charity road block, get all the mini's block of some town centre and don't move them until they pay up<Col's idea,sent in to me by brain wave>:p

[The Dogfather]

Col, brain wave? His brain waved goodbye a long time ago!

8am Monday Bridge of Dee,ABZ. result: Mayhem probably followed by a bloodbath! Could be good fun !!:D:D:D

[Julz]

Come on folks, only 6 people have donated, we don't want to stick with the stereotype image of the Scots do we?? (plus I've got an r/c car to pay for!!):(

[Big Gordy]

Can we have a straw poll on what to do with the auction r/c mini 8)
At the moment Julz and I have 3 options. These are -
1) Leave it unpainted and the winner chooses paint scheme.
Pros:D - Good that the winner can choose, gives more time for money to come in.
Cons:( - They might come up with some crazy paintscheme a can't do, the actual car won't be at the ball for people to see, we would have to post it to them with all the problems that causes.
2) We paint it flip purple and make it stand out as a very one off.
Pros:D - Actual car will be there and speak for itself (so to speak),we don't have to post it.
Cons:( - Winner can't pick paint colour, Julz has to carry it down with her.
3) Same as 2 but painted with chrome paint. Very 'bling' indeed :cool:

My personal fav is the chrome :D I've seen a Merc done with this stuff and it looks sooooooooooooooooperb but I realise some people might not like it so its up to the people who donate to decide. Try and let me know before next Saturday though as I want to buy every thing at once :clown:
Over to you guys :p:D:approve:

[Julz]

Big G, I've also posted these options on the Chartiy Ball organisers forum thingmy!!:clown:

[Wul]

Here's a radical option - paint it the bling bling chrome and let Julz take it to the ball - when on display put a note next to the car telling them that for the cost of a new shell they can have their own scheme as well as the bling bling one - this would be very cheap to post compared to a whole car.

I think if you don't have the whole car there on the night people might not bid as they can't take it home/ to their hotel room to crash while drunk at/after the ball :I

I vote for Wuls idea - which is an excellent one!!!! :D

[Big Gordy]

I take it we're still going with this as a Cooper version seeing as I can't get an 'S' bodyshell:I :p:D:approve:

[Julz]

All the Megs fumes must have gone to Wuls head, resulting in a good idea!! I think Wuls idea is a winner!!;):D

[Gismo]

Wul's idea is best so far :cool: i don't have any opinion :I

[Big Gordy]

I thought that excuse was reserved for mini super salespersons :p:D:approve:

[Big Gordy]

I've managed to get the auction one FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Thank you Mr.Wonderland :p:D:approve:

[Big Col]

YAY! Nice one G man!!! :approve:

[Julz]

So this means all funds raised so far (from all 6 of you:disapprove:) goes straight to charity!!:D

[soggy]

You guys/gals are stars - this is realy appreciated by all the organisers :)

Did someone mention a bottle of Talisker ........ we had a bottle of Grappa and six glasses sold at the Cotswolds Auction for over £100 so booze is always a popular item ;)

[The Dogfather]

That was me just tell me where to send it!!

[soggy]

You can send it directly to me, or have Julz/alan bring it down with them if they don't mind carrying it. I'll drop you a mail with my address if that is the option you run with.

And a big thank you :)

[The Dogfather]

I will pop it in the post today.

[soggy]

You're a star - thanks :)

[Julz]

New total = £144.55:)

Come on folks, dig deep! I know it's only 38 days til Christmas, but even the smallest donation can make a difference!!:)

Hmmm, this is the awkward bit!! Does it have autopilot??;) I wonder how much of a hassle it would be to send it direct to Soggy, cause I don't think Easy Jet would be too happy if I claimed it as hand luggage!:p I'll ask Soggy and see what he thinks!;):clown:

BDM, not sure, I will ask!:)

[soggy]

bad dog - I've just come on to let you know I picked it up last night, they'd tried to deliver the day before but no one was at home. Big thank you for that , I must keep it well hidden over Christmas with the relatives around !!!!

[soggy]

minime - I'm happy for anything to be shipped direct to my address. Alternativley if you want to use the MINI dealer network then I'm sure my local dealer, Wollastons in northampton, would be happy to help out. I have a good relationship with them and am anticipating their involvement in the Ball too ;) Let me know what's easiest for you :)

Hi Soggy ,i think it would be best if you e-mailed me your address,because if i send it via the BMW network,it has to go back to Bracknell and re-sorted(usually lost)..;)
