I'm going along. Should be interesting. Hopefully it will be more interesting than the normal MITP's as they tend to be a bit boring IMO

Yep the family Plotloss will be going I think.

Went last year when my daughter was 3 weeks old so I can see this being a regular thing.

Don't know if I'm going yet, I was, and have had the B&B booked since February, but am going into hospital on the 28th for an op, and have been told I'm not allowed to drive for a month afterwards But at least I get 8 weeks off work.

Might try and cadge a lift, but I think a mini will be a bit too if I'm still in a delecate state.

And the show is on my birthday as well.

Think my brother (Cooper_Ed) might be going, It's a bit far for me to come Was a great show last year, should be good this year, pity I can't make it.

Don't know if the twin R1 mini will be there to upset your daughter again Matt

Great day, shame the weather couldn't hold out

I got a cracking deal on a set of tyres and also 10% off a stage 3 head and some 1.5:1 roller tip rockers. More Than covered the quite high £15 each entry!

Just need to get it all fitted now!

Thanks for the nice comments about my car. Much appreciated.
I was just so sorry I couldn't be there, but I had to work on my Enduro car plus get my house and workshop ready to move home within about 2 weeks.
No doubt 'Rougeleo' will tell me how he got on there.

Yep we went!

Saw a tidy red Cooper S with a white roof and an obviously aftermarket dash.

Thought to myself, that could be Coopermans car, looked in the back, saw the trademark turret access plates thought a ha! it is Coopermans car. It was only then of course I spotted yours and your sons name on the doors - doh! A stunning little car.

Went for wheels but Huddersfield only had one set of the ones that I wanted so ordering them today.

Did anyone else think £15 was a bit steep for what was there though?

Fantastic Pete , thank you so much for letting me use it , what fun . Only one problem , you are much thinner than me and I may never walk again . Kept it under 6k rpm and still had enough to see most mini off , it never got to hot and roundabouts are amazing in it . All leathered down and tucked up safe .
Can,t wait for mine to be finished now .
Lots of people were looking at it , but we did have a lot of interest in the Sprints and RSPs as well .
Brilliant weekend and much dryer than forcecast.


Great car Pete and I,ve bought a bigger seat for next time .

Yep, 15 sheets was a bit steep,(Just ask my wife!), but I made that back in the savings I made, but then again I spent quite alot.

Cooperman; which is your car? Clearly I'm missing something here!

Some pictures I took here:

I was lucky enough to take part of the convoy which Peter's car led and which snaked all the way from Rog's house to Silverstone
