I heard them say they hoped it would be a regular event, didn't gear them announce the dates tho.

Brilliant. Perfect weather and Mrs T wants to go mini racing now





Above: 1071 Cooper S engine, rear mounted, 110mph. Many interesting components including (I think) a lawnmower grass box as a ground effect modification. Bit vague on that.



I may have seen this Belgian Mini Fun Club moke at IMM in Denmark ... or did I?



Bit cheeky ... but it was getting to the end of a long day and I was ready for a snooze meself. But we went and got stuck on the M25 instead
PS No, it isn't Mrs T.

I received an email from the organisers asking to fill out an online questionnaire about the show.

They do plan holding the show again next year! provisional dates are 22nd 23rd June.

I'm sure they are very happy to hear your feedback.

I suggested that they could change the way that the parade lap is organised and maybe more trade stands, which I'm sure will happen naturally as the word spreads about it

Wish I'd gone to this, too much going on for me this weekend but I may go next year if it's on. It's a bit different with the races going on and parade lap, looked like a good show.

You certainly did as they attend every IMM and lots of events here in UK.
It belongs to Anja and Weske, good friends of us and of the Essex Mini Club. They are not Mini Fun Club but Belgian Minis on Tour. More info about them on www.belgianminisontour.be Make sure you use a translator unless your fluent in Flemish!! We took part in their Polderroute in September 2010 and 2011 and for 2012 they are putting a new event in the Ardennes area.
They are brilliant at organising navigational rallies and will really look after you if you go and visit them. I think for this year they're sold out but it may be worth it to contact them.

Brilliant pictures everyone, it was certainly a great not to be missed event. Unfortunately for me I had an unfortunate incident when leaving the track after the parade lap on Saturday when the unsecured massive steel gate shut on my car badly denting the A-panel and wing...

Brilliant pictures everyone, it was certainly a great not to be missed event. Unfortunately for me I had an unfortunate incident when leaving the track after the parade lap on Saturday when the unsecured massive steel gate shut on my car badly denting the A-panel and wing...

Are they paying for it?

[minispaniard]

I do hope so!
Alex, the Event organiser was very helpful and apologetic and inmediately called the circuit manager to exchange details... hopefully we can sort it quickly and as hassle free for everyone as possible.

a repair and a VIP season pass would do!!
