Crich Tramway Mini Day

[clambod]

A few of us from the missiles went to Crich yesterday. We had a great run over there, 154.5 minis turned up. The half one was a trailer made from the back of a mini.
I think I saw Holly turning up too. There can only be at estate with the basket weave wood work. we all took part in the convoy down the main street.
Woodvale near Southport next Sunday

Nearly went to Crich myself. Got stitched up with work though.

Sounds like a great day. Any pictures?

Great day out as ever - my 4th year and I always enjoy it. I got to see the Greenie in the flesh and had a good chat with Chris - I don't think he connected me with this though! Mind I didn't realise you were part of Crewe's Missiles until I found your car...

I've just posted a gallery of pics, and will add a few more to it when I've collated those from the rest of the family! Holly (my daughter) and Adam both managed to drive Skye and I was pleased that they both said what a good drive it was!

It's led to a bit of a plan in our house which will see some shifts of car ownership over the next few months. Holly desperately wants to get back into a Mini, so I suggested putting a Micra engine into our Clubby estate. The CE was Adam's but he's decided he wants a pickup. We're now trying to track one down at sensible money! Nemo the Neon is getting ready for some bodywork tlc and we don't really have the time with all the restos going on, so Nemo will almost certainly be moving on soon to fund the pickup.

I forgot to take the Camera.

It was nice to meet up with asahartz and have a chat. It was only when I got Home I realised who you were. Apologies, I put it down to my age.

We're of a similar age, the mind plays tricks! The times I've loaded up Google, only to forget what I was going to search for!
