    Well it was nice having a show less than 3 hours from home for a change. With Ali, Laura and Arwen coming up yesterday we made a weekend of it and went for an Indian after Ali had tasted just about every delicacy that was on offer on the way to the restaurant.

    The show itself was well attended, well organised and there plenty to see. As Ali mentioned it was heavily biased toward the classics especially in the parade where there was a good selection of modern minis and not one of them was pulled over for an owner interview. It was good to see the shear variety of minis that there was I dare say I didn't notice any 2 that were identical.

    Good to finally put some faces to names today!

    I was chatting to Mark just before we left, and we both agreed we need to try and organise some runs in the NE area if possible. If nothing else, it gives me an excuse to use my car more!

    Will check the calendar and have a think

    Fantastic day well worth the 7 hour round trip to get there.

    As said it did tend to focus more on the classic Mini but nice selection of Modern Minis on show as well, the comperes were ok but felt the sound good have been better.

    I found my driving road on the way back the B744 what a cracking road, on the way up I was taking it easy but wow nice clear day on way back and wow.

    Had a lovely day today. Good turn out, nice food and lovely weather and was nice to hang out with Mark, Eddie and Davie (Ali and Arwen too obvs). I have to admit it was quite cool that Charlie was chosen for an interview. Here is the video of the parade lap for all the cars that were interviewed.

    Here are some pics as well :)

    I've been away on a MINI jolly this past week (more later), so only just back on....

    Well worth the 5 minute trek for me, road run before the show was fun, and Mark and Kris following on behind looked great in the mirrors. Good effort to the other NMS'ers who made the run up.

    The classic bias continued in the feature in the motoring supplement of the P&J on Wednesday, only the John Clark cars pictured in the Italian Job scene. I had kinda hoped in the parade lap that as the only R55 there I might get a quick chat, but denied

    Nice pic Alasdair btw, that's Marischal College, 2nd largest granite building in the world.

    Dont worry the Meeks got a full guided tour of central aberdeen thanks to my friend. Hahaha

    Yeah I was a bit miffed at how classic centric it was even to the point of the classic owners downing to late built "real minis". The road run views were nice but imo the speed was just too low. I wasnt expecting the classics to be flat out but the speed limit would have at least been nice. The fact we were actually holding up a tractor says something about the pace.
