When Erin was due and we needed a different car and some money towards it, selling mabel seemed like the sensible option.

Now, 4 and a half months on, I'm getting sadder each time I look at the clock ticking down to the LGT.

I so miss my Mini, I wish I'd never got rid of her. On the grapevine I hear that she's not even Mabel now- she's apparently now a manual,( not a bad thing, I know!!). I will look out for her if I can bear to come along to Westward Ho,(if she's taking part) but I know it will make me more fed up that I'm spectating, not taking part.
I know what my next New Years resolution will be!!!

Funnily enough I know how you feel! Poor Mabel, a manual??!! It is very strange watching instead of taking part but you do get to experience the atmosphere of the people watching which is cool. We watch along the straight in Fremington after the ramp and before you get to the hospice - you can always come and join us and we can sulk about Mabel together
   I don't miss Foxy at all (sorry!) but I do miss Mabel.

You can always be marshals..... Terry and us would appreciate more help especially getting away from Westrward Ho!

I've always thought, the next best thing to doing the Grand tour must be to go and watch it. It is not as much fun in a new MINI. You sense some people stop waving. Could be worse, at home it would be 2 fingers but folk are nicer in North Devon.
