    Got home safe and sound last night at about 21.15 hrs after a long but otherwise uneventful trip home (apart from the truck that chose to breakdown in the roadworks at Stirling ). So much for the lie-in this morning .... joined the 'wide awake club' at about 06.00 hrs - must have been all those early starts over the week-end .... have so far managed to prevent myself from going out to the MINI to clean the windscreen and do the other pre-start checks though!!

    Massive thanks once again Paul. I thought last year's run was fantastic .... but this year it was thoroughly awesome . Sorry now that we missed the last stretch around the coast on Sat but had to get the 'whining' from the passenger side of the car attended to

    It was great to meet some familiar faces from last year again and put some faces to more usernames Many thanks to Fiona for the recommendation on the Stirling B&B, Malcolm for the bar and fitting guide and (last but not least) to Stoney for pics of the rear our MINI proving that I did use my brakes!

    Will post some pics later once we have got them sorted.

    See you next time

    -Ian & Rita-

    Great pics though guys, looks like you had a cracking run.

    No words can describe how good that drive was, I could try but I'd not do it any justice whatsoever

    Massive thanks to Paul, your a legend mate

    Thanks as well to Malcolm for my test drive, awesome sir

    Finally, hats off to Alex, Ben & myself for 'stirring' our R50's up for battle with the turbo's & superchargers, it was one helluva drive

    Well we had an absolutely fabby weekend- lots of gorgeous weather for going topless (I have the dodgy sunburn marks to prove it ), lots of great roads, lovely minis and most importantly great company All the pictures look great so far, Susan went a bit snap happy and took about 400 so will take a while to get them all sorted and uploaded. Big thanks to Paul for organising such a great run Cant wait for next years

    I even heard Crombers say he was interested in a Clubman!

    From Factory JCW to Audi TT Quattro - Might be back one day!
