Me toooooo, but it'll be alright! 
If anyone's up for a slower convoy over, I fancy sticking at 65-70 on the motorways to ease the cost of fuel....yeah it'll take an extra hour, but it'll be less stops for fuel as over 70-75 mine is a guzzler.
In terms of MPis, ALL classic Minis are allowed. All variants, vans, pickups, loate sportpack coopers, early 850s, anything. It started as a Mini run so all Minis are always favoured.

I'm sorting out the crusty bits on mine and its having a quick fill and blow over. Just to make it look pretty. Am so tempted to buy new wheels and possibly new seats. I think I might just have to have the mambas I've been pining over for the past year or so lol

T minus 5 days (ish).
IF there's anyone in the Kenty/Buckmore area that wants to pop along to Buckmore Park on Wednesday at around 7am for an hour, please feel free to come and see us looking like fools in fancy dress and doing a couple of laps!

I finally gave in and ordered the mambas I've been pining over for a long time lol, hopefully they will turn up before we leave on tues, I've paid specially. so they best turn up in the morning and i will fit them before picking Glenn up from the train station lol
Have a few odd jobs to do like paint and reattach my arches and put the lamp bar back on and rewire and generally a clean then I'll be ready
Unless I think of something else to do.......

Whatever you do, don't get to 4 days before the run, strip your gearbox to inspect your diff as you can feel a bit of clunkiness somewhere....... then find out that your diff is indeed on the way out!
