Fi, thought the trade stands were poor, especially Recarro. They had 2 JCW works seats and that was it. They had more "Baby" seats, which only Sioban was interested in, so looks like Niamh (Grandaughter) will have her Recarro before I do :argh:
Thats me just home, was trying to catch you stoney but failed lol
Was a great weekend and a good drive
cracking pics stoney:thumbs up:
Wish i had gone. But oh well. Roll on 75years...

We had a terrific time on Saturday. Soooooo glad we went down. It may have been MINI at 50 but the scale certainly wasn't MINI - the show was huge!
Many thanks to Alan (Crombers) and Ali (Zimbo) for taking Lenore and I around the track - worth the trip down alone.
Stoney those pics are cool.
Did you go to any of the unveiling's? Not sure if they were on Sunday or Saturday after we left.
A.
Great photos Stoney:thumbs up:

Some of the minis there were just UNBELIEVABLE... Honestly, once I get my photos sorted out I will post the ones I have especially my favourite ones which just blew me away!!! Thought I had died and gone to heaven :cool:
:frown::frown:
Great Photos Stoney... :thumbs up:
would liked to have seen the Camden in the flesh... it looks :cool::cool:
ah well, there is always MINI 100.... :thud::argh:

Well thats us just in the door.Had a great time at MINI United with the gang.Had lots of great laughs and memorys that will last a long time :smilewinkgrin: .Realy glad i went down now :thumbs up:.Will post pics up when i unpack my camera :yes nod:.Was great getting round the circuit twice.Some of the people that were there had traveled mind blowing distences.Getting my car onto the infield on the friday and saturday was fantastic aswell.
Knew it would be good - and it looks and sounds like it certainly was! Glad everybody had a fab time (photos are great), only sorry I wasn't able to join in - really weird to be reading about the big NMS trip 'down South' and not having been on it.
Only thing I would say is that I would've really regretted not having my old JCW to take round the circuit to give Stoney a bit of competition in the 'Sound-Off' - my new car's just too bleedin' quiet to do justice to a blast round Silverstone!!!
Glad you all had a fine time, see you soon.
Great Pics :thumbs up::thumbs up:
What a weekend! We had a superb time.
Fantastic displays, mini racing, a drive round silverstone, sunny weather and loads of minis.
Thanks everyone who came, good to have a drink and chat after the show
Some of my Photos (I took over 400!)
Waiting to go on track (lucky white heather!)

Stoney, Weefossy fantastic pics and great seeing all the old faces and some new faces too.
Did anyone get sun-burnt... or just us? :blush::blush::blush::blush:
Anyway, we will be on another run soon, in the mean time, Thank you to all, particularly Craig & Crombers for getting us all organised.

It is clear to see where Mario's 9 or so sets of the Linea Corse (BBS LMs Replicas) wheels went. Most of the cars on the Infield were running them.. And who said these wheels don't suit MINIs..... ha ha
I love the Porsche Rims on Coen K's Yellow S...
some really great pictures guys:thumbs up: I have had a great time going through them all checking out the the alloys, graphics etc etc some guys really have top dollar Minis from around Europe.:thumbs up:
Everyones pics are amazing :thumbs up: i've got a load which i'll get up soon :D
We had an absolutely fantastic time, great cars, great chat and fantastic weather to top it all off!
Thanks everyone for making us new "girlies" feel so welcome :thumbs up::D
Yeah they do.... The best IMO :D:DQuote:

This is the really short version of the gp lap.
http://www.dailymotion.com/user/bird...arade-lap_auto
The full parade lap is rendering at home just now, I`ll add it later tonight once its finished.
I also took hundreds of photos, thanks to RyanK for taking some of me driving, I`m putting all the photos on Flickr at the moment, this is also going to take some time, I`ll post a link when there ready.
An finally, the video of the convoy down, this will take even more time to cut and render, I`ll be as quick as possible.
Thanks again for a great weekend.
P.S. I have been sunburnt badly and it hurts today, my forehead is peeling.
Back up the road yesterday evening :beer:
Utterly superb time & memories to last a lifetime :clap:
Many many things to share with one & all but at present we have one 'gutted' (i.e. back to brick!!) kitchen & bathroom waiting for nice new shiney bits & bobs to be fitted later on this week/next week.
Will pop back into this thread as soon as I have a bit more time :thumbs up:
No i never got a chance as they weren't round their cars. Coen was outside his but was already caught up in a conversation. I was stunned at how 'out there' the cars from netherlands/germany/belgium were, practically all of the cars of theirs had the r56 recaros ...so nice!Quote:

What an awesome day Saturday was, and birdog - don't worry, you weren't the only one suffering from Suburn the day after!
Great to meet some familiar faces, and some new faces :thumbs up:
Great pics Stoney - hope I didn't throw you about to much when you were hanging out the window! That girl in front in the One was so slow and annoying. She certainly didn't understand the concept of an apex, that's for sure!! :argh:
Still didn't stop us having a dodgy moment into Luffied though :p :D
I feel in love the the F1 (or whatever it's officialy title is) - beatiful car, that I would snap up straigh away if I had the cash!
Glad everyone got home safely, and hope we I can tie in with another NMS meet soon :yes nod:
And I think we are all in agreeal - where ever the next MINI United is, we need to up the effort and go all out next time - Graphics, flags and a crazt road trip! :smilewinkgrin: :D
