Having behaved ourselves at a recent fly-in event we have been asked if we'd like to show our wares on Bank Holiday Monday - free entry etc. Apparently there are already Classic Mini's parking up.

We are away the minis may be the Worcester club.

I do rather love the classic Mini so I might see if the owner of one that takes my eye would swap for a Beach Buggy !

Well the Mini club never materialised - there was one Mini but that doesn't constitute a 'club'. About 30 assorted vehicles - army truck, Riley, MGs, Austin Healeys, Rolls ... I decided to park next to the 1928 Morris Cowley truck that had featured in All Creatures Great and Small

When he took he test in the 60s the examiner made him put paper bags over every mirror as the test required the rider to only use their turned head to check behind.
