[Sweeney]

just back, sat opposite you ajamesj entering the car parks, mini looks smashing in the flesh...
spotted loads of other minis too, including a black and silver jcw s with silver union jack on top and jcw brakes wheels and spoiler with spots; im sure ive seen a pic of it on here before! is it someone's mini on here? A black mini flashed me on the way back not sure if it was anyone on here if so, hello!

The ferraris (360, 430 and enzo fxx) were just awesome (took some videos; listen to that enzo!), i missed the F1 2003 car (heard it going round whilst entering the car park :() but the enzo made up for that, took some piccies of some cars too.

[Marco77]

Need to look out for ya, just move to Hamilton and there are a few nice mini's driving about never came across yours though got any pics?

[Sweeney]

LOADS of minis about here (hamilton and bothwell) but most of them won't flash you back etc or wave back if you give them the mini salute!, to be honest im sure ive seen you a couple times if your mini is anything like your sig that is, got some out of date ones (only side indicators are black now not orange)

Got back bout 4pm been there since 9.45, what an amazing day not had chance to get my photos or vids onto pc yet. Saw loads of minis at Knockhill too and even got a couple of waves on way back up road just outside Knockhill at the roadworks(traffic lights).

Got a couple of very short videos of the F1 car going round, what an awesome sounding machine 41.5 second lap @ 112 MPH average :eek::approve:
The Fxx was something else... Prefered that to the Konigsegg tho:D

That transit van sounded mental too.

[Sweeney]

was it you that flashed me? (red cooper reg 1 rls)

[zimbo]

If it was you at the temp traffic lights at road works then it could've been me yes :D

[Sweeney]

well i did pass there, i was there at around half 2/3 behind a maroon VW bora with a big spoiler on the back of it

i think the reg of the car that flashed me had SHAJ or something like that in it

[zimbo]

No well it wasnt me then sorry, I only left knockhill at 3pm after a long and exhausting day taking loads and loads of photos and vids of all the awesome machinery on display.:D

[Sweeney]

that focus they had going round with the nitrous was some car eh 450bhp they announced it had.

[zimbo]

Thats the guy who used to have a 450bhp escort cossie, used to take it to crail.

[Big Gordy]

I passed 3 mini's running in convoy just before Kinross today (Sunday) Was it anyone on here?..? I think the lead one was yellow..!! Was gonna flash but realised I was in the Mundane:(;) I was coming back from the army training camp at Barry Button having been there for the weekend driving tanks and stuff. :p:D:approve:
