Smitty bottled it, whos he kidding ;)

MI3 run... the "brazillian job" is due to be released soon is it not? Surely you and your insiders could clarify andy?

---

Brazilian Job is slated for 2008. Status is that it is "In Production" but that doesn't mean the camera's are rolling, just that there's some people attached to it and they are thinking about it. Nothing more than that I'm afraid.

But you can be rest-assured, when release time comes, we will definitely be organising a run to coincide.:approve:

Brazilian Job on IMDB.com

Hope you guys have fun on this - we can't attend because we'll be in Portrush, Northern Ireland for the CCMC's annual Nelly's Dash of the O'rish and the Italian Ice Cream Job runs!

Wish us luck! :D

Hi James,

I've added you to the reserves list. We will be keeping to the 25 MINI's though, so won't be ading any more reserves into the run list unless someone drops out.

20 sleeps.:D

Ok. had an email from MarkR saying he will be unable to make the run due to other commitments.:(

So, that leaves a space open for Gordon_Cooper_wrks, and I've moved you up to the run list.:D

Gordon, as you are a fairly new member, I wonder if you would be kind enough to re-confirm you wish to join the run and also state if you will be joining one of the convoy's on this thread. Or if you will just be meeting us all in Selkirk.

Many thanks,

A.:D

thin gordon is on hols at the mo i know he is about the same area as us as he has been in 2 christines mac ds

LOL. Gordon, are we a tad jet-lagged after having driven back from France:question::eek::D

So, yes you are now firmly on the run list. I see you've put your name down for the convoy from Hamilton. I understand that Sweeney is organising that convoy, with Angus (X30YES) holding his hand.:D

When you get to Selkirk, hunt me down and say HI! I like to make new runners as welcome as possible.:D

The pace notes will be available for download as soon as we have verified the mileages, but I will have a few copies with me on the day.

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.

A.:D

Andy, any idea how long the run will be:question: miles that is :D

That's what I was thinking - still it'll be the MX5 last run out before going bye bye :(

I could have sworn Angus had posted summat about 600 mile round trip, which was what I was replying to. But it's gone, weird!

Still it'll be nearly 600 as Turriff is another 35 miles north of Aberdeen.

Ah.:) Angus playimg mind tricks with us again.:D

I think i'll have to drop out Andy:(

Mate is keen, but its just gona be too much miles for me....over 500, and just don't have the money to fill the car up that much!

Have an ace day guys, and hopefully I can attend next year!!;):D

Thanks for email. I am still planning to go. Havent been on site for a while due to work (much madness). Have also had a problem with specy. Not that he did anything wrong, but a lorry picked a fight with him and have been not only mini-less but caught up with the whole business of getting the wee chap fighting fit again. He will hopefully be released from 'hospital' on Tuesday. Lorry driver pulled out from a parked position into specy's back quarters. He apologised profusely for his idiocy and carelessness then returned to his work and told them I'd run into him. then it was I'd rolled back into him then reversed. Luckily I have an independent witness who returns to his work tomorrow so hopefully the insurance co. can get his statement first before I have to pay out the excess and then wait months to get it back. Its a complete pain in backside. If I could just get at the lying skunk s** o* b**** now I could be persuaded to get violent.

Gordon, make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Reader installed on your PC. Download the most recent version here

And it is worth noting that some of the mileages boxes are empty because the text to the right is a follow-on from the previous line.

If you're still having trouble, let me know. And don't worry too much, 'cos I will have copies for giving out on the day.

A.
