    Not if this should be here or in general discussion. If it's in the wrong place could a mod move it.... I won't throw my toys out the pram, promise.

    I see the Thistle Run is on again this year. Went to the Mini Clan's web site and downloaded the PDF application form. But it won't print. No matter what I do, it just crashes the PC. Any idea if it is something wrong with the PDF file. I tried at home and at work but no joy anywhere.

    Any suggestions?

    I have printed you out a copy. I could pop it into you on my way home from work if you want. Do you know if it is open to BMW minis or just classics.

    Hi Ian,

    That would be grand. I'll be in work all day today. Be good to see you anyway, catch up on old times.

    The Thistle Run is always open to ALL Mini's. They even have a competition category for best New Mini in their Show 'n Shine compo at the end of the run.

    Have you been on a Thistle Run before? They are great fun with often ofer 150 Mini's/MINI's there.

    Cheers,

    A.

    I remember I went on the run to Hadrians wall a couple of years ago which I think had mini clan members there.
    I will pop into the cinema about half 4 then if thats ok. I will do you 2 copies incase your bro wants to go.
    Now i have to decide wether I do the run old school or BMW.

    Got a real dilema. Do I take the BM mini which I drive every day but dont mind pushing on a bit and it is alot more comfortable than the old one, or do I bring the old mini out for an airing. I dont like to boot it though as she is an old lady. However I dont use her enough and if the weather is nice its good fun.
    Any suggestions folks

    ian - decide on the day based on the weather! There's usually quite a few people changing car at the last minute. Its also going to be a LONG day with lots of miles. The roads will be a LOT of fun in either car. Last year the ratio of classic to new was about 5:1. It was by far the biggest classic mini run in scotland for 2006 with about 130.
