So who's all heading to the IMM at the end of the month??

quite a few of us making the journey down from Aberdeen, arriving Thursday afternoon..

My Aussie clubby's going on the Clubman 45 indoor display so busy making it look presentable! Seats are off for some repair work, new carpets been fitted and tidying some other wee bits and pieces just now.

I'll be there with my Woody - but not the pick-up or the 59 this time.

At least 5000 people going it seems !

Drove in without delay on the Friday, but suffered from the "club not on our list" problem.

None-the-less, we buttyed up with the Birmingham MOC and made a nice display.

Wonderful weather and lovely chilled vibe.

The Bogus Brothers were a great band on Saturday night - videos of the crowd surfing here :- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXJXxETne7Q

There was even a couple who got married at the event - congratulations !

seemed to be a bit of a marmite event, folk either loved it or hated the organisation of it...

Personally i didnt mind it, we arrived thursday and had to queue for 3 hours to get in. luckily it was a nice day and everyone made the most of it and just chilled out wandering round the cars. finally got in with only a rough description of where our pitch was to find it was a bit on the small side. we all fitted on though!

My clubby was on the Clubman 45 indoor display and had loads of folk interested in the car and take pics.

Plenty trade stands to spend money at, beer was terrible (Saxon lager, that bad that even Bud was preferable)
Didnt bother to queue for the meals as in the end the food vans accepted the vouchers.

Sunday was a tough one, can see the sense in not letting day visitors in the campsite area for security but that meant they couldnt see 75% of the minis there. think it was a last minute decision after a couple folk got their tents slashed and items stolen..

Some cracking motors there, loads of Mokes and steel estates.

Not going to Lithuania, probably do the Morellis run in Portrush NI instead. might head to Belgium in 2016 though but the site doesnt look the best (Field next to a factory with loads of wind turbines on it!)
