Grand tour 2005 another fantastic weekend raising lots of smiles and a great
amount of money for the childrens hospice S W. Well done Terry & Linda all your hard work is really appreciated. Don't let NDDC stop you, we are all behind you 100%.

Phenonemal! What an event. All of us at Tyred and Exhausted had a great time and the money raised was amazing. I'm sure the money is going to keep on coming in. Well done everyone!
See you next year.

A brilliant event for the Mini entusiaste, great people, great roads, great charity
and great kids. The organisers are a laugh as well.

What can I say? Once again we have just returned from the best mini event we
have ever attended and each time it gets better and better. We really hope things
go ahead next year as we will certainly be in attendance. In fact, I will be
booking my time off when I get back to work on Monday! Well done to all involved.

This was my 4th Grand Tour and it gets better and better every year! My daughter and her friend came with me this year and throughly enjoyed it and want to come again next year! Just hope and pray that it goes ahead next year for the CHSW
if nothing else! Thanks Terry and Linda and everyone else who helped organise it

We have just arrived home after spending the remainder of the week in North Devon, i'm still grinning from ear to ear now !! Well done to Terry and Linda on organising the BEST mini event there is ! It was fantastic yet again and sooooooo much money raised for a worthy charity. Can't wait for next years run !! Oh, and by the way, Ilfracombe........your'e loss !! Paul, Fareham.

Hi, big THANK YOU to Terry & Linda for another great event. Thank you again to all the bikers & hope the biker that got knocked off is ok. Is it possible to pass on contact details of North Devon District Council so we can all show our support for the NDGT.

Hi, I just wanted to thank Terry and Linda for such a fantastic bank holiday weekend. You both must work so hard to make such a great success of the grand tour each year! It was a fantastic amount that was raised for the childrens hospice,
and in this world of so much bad news it was great to see that there are still a lot of good, kind hearted people out there, and they were all mini owners!!
This was our 5th year on the grand tour and I can't wait for our 6th, fingers crossed that N.D.D.C wake up and realise all the good you do! Many thanks once again!

Grand Tour 2005 - what a brilliant event. Joe, Bryony and myself saw you all off from Bideford Park on Sunday, and saw you finish in Ilfracombe on Monday, we thought it was totally awsome and thoroughly enjoyed waving to the hundreds of minis, all shapes, sizes, colours and themes - amazingly organised and fantastic fun, hope all the drivers enjoyed it as much as we did. We saw many of you pass through Braunton on your way back to Westward Ho!. Thanks for a really great weekend and looking forward to supporting you next year. Joe and I desperately want to get a mini of our own now! Best wishes for the fund raising - phenominal!

WOW... words don't do the event justice! It blow me away - thank you. Put me down for next year. A big thanks to the motobikes that took part as well as they did a fantastic job. Fingers crossed that enough pressure will be put on North Devon District Council to show them how important the event is.

the whole family had a brilliant time! great pleasure been part of the mini run.
we will be back again next year. hope the petition works, and the council let
you continue the good work!!!!

fantastic, well done to all involved, we had a great time, and feel good to day,hope
to be invited next year.

what a fantasic Mini run this year every year gets better but it is a shame that
Ilfracombe will loose out on the 2006 Grand tour as mini owners come from all
over the country to take part and those mini owners themn go back to freands
and family and tell them the problems thatthey had with Ilfracombe and its the
town that suffers through trade and visitors. As the location is a good finishing
point.and it raises so much for a good cause. All keep up the great work.

What can I say.? You did it again.!! Brilliant as usual. I live in Ilfracombe
and am really p****d off that the district council are planning to move the rally
to the other side of town.! How ridiculous.!!!! At the end of the day, the rally
makes loads of money for the Hospice South West and the kids have a great time
when you guys come to town. If anyone who reads this feels as strongly as most
of us mini fans do, then please, please let the district council know. It`s about
time they stopped thinking of revenue and started thinking about the kids a bit
more.

LEJOG 2005 - over 2200 miles since leaving Plymouth, nearly all of which were travelled with a load of nutcases!! Dave and his horns, BOGEYS, tractors and the editor of Mini Mag produly wearing a pink dress and crocodile hat!!!! You're not gonna live that one down mate!!! What a superb week long Mini run, and as always with Mini events run by Terry and Linda, its the people that make the event so special. What a fantastic week Becky and I had, and we only hope we can do it again next year. Roll on 2006!!

Been on last two runs, can't wait till the third, mini event of the year!!

I would just like to say on behalf of the Cornish Mini Club, thanks for organising a brilliant day at the South West Mini Meet at Atlantic Village. Once again a great day as always (apart from the rain this year). Thanks again.

Fab page!, can't wait till the mini run, lets pray for good weather and no loonies & send our good wishes to the people of London

I just want to say that your site is totally amazing - It brought tears to my eyes and you should be damn proud of yourselves!! I hope that one day my mini club can do a little bit of what you have done - if and when that happens I too will be proud x
