Mini Festival 2001 - Page 3

If we can run more than one passenger, then I certainly will, and I'll respect the order that people post in this forum..

However, there's the chance that it will be a cavalcade affair - I think they may try and get two thousand and one Minis on the Mallory track at once! In which case, they won't allow me popping back into the pits for a passenger-change every lap

We shall see

2001?!?!?!?!

*thud*

Maisie · 19 Jul 2001, 01:10 (Ref:119024)

You've got to bring a trailer now Minardi Fan - no one will notice if one out of 2001 goes missing

Minardi fan · 19 Jul 2001, 11:55 (Ref:119161)

I'll bring my dad's Toyota Delica - that tank will fit at least 3 of the little beauties in it.

SPOONERBORO · 19 Jul 2001, 20:47 (Ref:119372)

thats fine chris i feel a comeptition coming on lets see how many ten tenths members we can get in a mini round a circuit!!!?

Sparky · 19 Jul 2001, 23:31 (Ref:119435)

I will be there, and in a Mini too!
I might not be able to extend to track cavalcade participation (who'd want to trundle round in a beige '71 Mini thousand anyways?

) but I'll be there. Maybe if they're at number 2000 and desperate...

Oh, and any purchase-potential Minis that require a thorough poking, I'm yer man! (So to speak!)

Here, (he says, thinking out loud again...) I must have a gazillion mini bits I could sell. How's about an autojumble plot? How much are they Chris? It's either that, or throw them back together and drive them (er, it) there. Know anyone who wants a Mini?

I would, in all seriousness, sell the '71, but how would I get home?

Can't think of anyone round here. Nope.

Chris Y · 23 Jul 2001, 19:49 (Ref:120692)

Good idea about the boot-sale Sparky - you'll get lots of customers!

Why not join the cavalcade - there's nowt wrong with your Mini. Much worse examples will probably be on the track I'd have thought.. Anyway - I don't expect it'd be too pleasant with a racing Mini - but I'm going to try

Right.... Interesting news..

Someone whispered to me at Snetterton that they're going to be taking people round the track at Mallory, and they're getting paid for it! That sounds like a very good plan to me, and I'm going to sign up as soon as I can - watch this space..

No, not that one.. This one. ->

Cool

**Craig** · 23 Jul 2001, 19:51 (Ref:120693)

Put me down for that, Mr Y... i've had a ride in the min before but it'd be a lot more comfy having a seat to sit on in there!!!

Minardi fan · 23 Jul 2001, 23:10 (Ref:120770)

meeeeeeeeeeee!

WoodyTJ · 25 Jul 2001, 16:51 (Ref:121622)

Any idea's on a timetable of events for the weekend?

Chris Y · 25 Jul 2001, 21:06 (Ref:121753)

Yes, Minis. Followed by Minis, then Minis...

Oh ok.. Saturday is mostly the track day, cavalcade and Mini festival type of thing..

The Sunday is the race day - most of the action will be on the track. I will post a full timetable when I get it..

Now then. The Saturday will feature rides around the circuit from yours truly in the MinMin go-kart. See my separate thread on this, which I shall be posting soon!

**Craig** · 25 Jul 2001, 21:09 (Ref:121759)

Where is it Chris ?? I can't see it!! I can't see it!!

I'll be there... are we camping on Saturday night ?

Chris Y · 25 Jul 2001, 22:15 (Ref:121820)

Just posted it.. The "I need help.." topic (You knew that anyway

)

I'm not sure about campig yet, although I think it's a good idea. Depends on what we can do with the Happy Camper Van

**Craig** · 25 Jul 2001, 22:16 (Ref:121821)

Maybe someone else has a camper van they could bring ??

Sparky · 26 Jul 2001, 00:07 (Ref:121870)

We'll definately be there both days, but the other (better?

) half doesn't 'do' camping. So Travelodge it is!

Really looking forward to it!

Minardi fan · 26 Jul 2001, 00:09 (Ref:121872)

Travelodge?! You big GIRL...

**bella** · 26 Jul 2001, 15:05 (Ref:122107)

sparky's a girl, sparky's a girl... :P

i'm 50-50. it depends on the olds and their holiday. bloody work.

Chris Y · 26 Jul 2001, 19:59 (Ref:122233)

Allow me to make your mind up then. You're coming Bella! (or I'll set Voggie on you

)

Right. I think I'm going to be a wussy wussy girlie to and opt for the Travelodge as well, I think. I'm never convinced about the facilities at Mallory, and I'm probably going to be spending 2 nights there, so....

We'll see

Is anyone camping???

(I can make the Saturday now!!!)

**Craig** · 5 Aug 2001, 19:28 (Ref:126257)

Sorry MFan, i'll be Travel Lodging too... as will Invader, Sparky, Deb, Chris and Maisie I believe... maybe we could find somewhere for you to stop there too ?

Minardi fan · 5 Aug 2001, 19:30 (Ref:126259)

In that case I will probably just come with Woody on both mornings because I can't afford a stay in a Travel Lodge!

Lorna · 12 Aug 2001, 10:23 (Ref:129149)

Just got news that Chris has qualified 7th! Go Chris!

Minardi fan · 12 Aug 2001, 17:30 (Ref:129287)

Sadly however he retired cos a little teeny bit melted.

A fantastic weekend - just make sure some one yells if Patrick Ford happens to be around...
