Happy New Year

Don't worry Andrew, she was well enough to dictate me a list - and I was wheeling my trolley around Waitrose when it opened yesterday am.

Missed that bit will have to rewind, only looked at the Minis  

Happy New Year to everyone!

We spent the evening at a free yes FREE maskerade ball/party down the local pub. Lots of alcohol consumed and some bad dancing engaged in but good time had by all. There was karaoke too but declined that one. Rolled home sometime after 1am. Managed to get up early enough to attend the local classic car show depite the mini being iced up inside and out, condensation hanging off the head lining etc etc. Was funnier when we went to leave mum in laws as the locks had frozen solid!! Good old minis.

Hope everyone gets over their coughs and colds soon, think I've got a bit on one but as I sneeze all year round its hard to tell.

Late again Baker just wants to wish every one a really happy new year and hope everyone is over it now.

Quoted from Bumble

We had a pleasant day on parade. There were thousands upon thousands of people lining the route. many tourists. The route is only 2 miles but we were an hour before we started moving and overall it took 3 hours from midday.

Unfortunately, we had an idiot in a BMW cooper S works driving really silly, catapulting and weaving. Terry would have him off LGT. Many marshals and police raised their eyebrows and the commentators were saying "there has to be one". We were amused when smoke billowed out from his bonnet, it calmed him down a little. I hope his actions have not spoiled our chances of being invited back next year.

Yes it was a shame that it happened. I heard the comment from the commentators and it was broadcast throughout. I hope that Gary can have a word with the driver involved (FULL car registration is with me) and ask that it doesn't happen again in the future. Whist we take part in the event at our own risk we are liable for any injury or accident that occurs as a result of someones ignorance of the rules and regulations of the event.

I hope that we can be invited back for next year but considering the battle that me and Gary had to fight to be accepted once again it was just a shame that some chose to ruin it.
