Forgive my ignorance. Is that sticky back plastic or magnetic?  Can't be magnetic at that price.

Sticky back plastic.

Do they do them in magnetic?

Quoted from mini59

Do they do them in magnetic?

They used to, perhaps Terry can tell us but it's all getting a bit close now. Terry has enough to do but he thrives on it!

If they are the same size as last years, you can reuse the magnetic signs. That's if you had magnetic ones last year  :)

I will ask how much the magnetic door plaques are.

I'll have a set please

I'll take one set pls, Can I sort you out with the pennies when we arrive on the Saturday  :)

We'll have one set as well  :)

can we have a sticky set please if they are the same size as last years magnetic ones

Quoted from penny

can we have a sticky set please if they are the same size as last years magnetic ones

DITTO..... but I think they are slightly smaller!!! :-/

Please could I have a set of sticky ones, can I pay you when we come down next weekend?

Can I have a magentic set if there's any going please?

Oh yes please we will have 2 sets either magnetic or sticky, preferably magnetic

Terry is confirming a price for the magnetic door plaques. The sticky ones are £10 a set.

If you pardon the pun, I'll stick with my LEJOG ones  :D

(bdito)  Me too  ;D

Just waiting for an e-mail from the sticker man and then I will know the price.

OK Door plaques are £15 per set plus Postage. You can pay for them when you book in. No magnetic as he cannot get hold of it in time. Same size as last year and LeJog.
So please confirm by tomorrow morning as I am going to order them.

One job done.

Definately one set for the barron pls Terry.

Not for us thank you. Good price though. Maybe next year we could order door plaques (both types) as part of our initial order form and pay for them in advance.

I have some magnetic sheet if anyone is interested I don't know about the cost I'd need to work it out, but you would have to stick them on yourselves  ;D

wht the rough size of the vynals???

just been looking on ebay and magnetic sheet dont look to expensive  ;)

I do have quite a bit rather than buying any more

Quoted from Chief Engineer

Ask Flo I think she has some on her door.

If they're the same size as usual, could I stick the new ones on top of last year's magentic plaques?  That would work wouldn't it?

Just checked the set on my fridge & they meaasure 65cm wide by 41cm high.

I put 2008 stickers over 2007 ones last year.

I'll have a set please

Forgot to confirm that we'll have one set please.

I am going to order 10 sets I hope that is right. Should be done by the end of the week.

Quoted from ADE90

I have already sent 2 sets you should have them tomorrow. Good job I know what you lot are like.

Quoted from Terry

I think Terry does really well doing all these things at the last minute but how do you remember who owes you what?

I have a list

Kevin don't worry about the door plaques just sold them.

Quoted from Terry

Just got home plaques are here already, thanks very much, another job for the weekend, we are due to come down Friday next week but trying to find out if we can get the place a day early and do the Ifracome carnival as well on the thursday or just sleep on the beach Thursday evening :D :D :D

We will give you the dosh when we get down, we are due to arrive Midday Friday or we will see you at the Marshalls meeting Saturday, thanks again ;D ;D ;D

I take it that the plaques go on same as window film, best to spray a bit of water on to help get the air out? Julie will kill me if I get bubbles in her plaques :D  :D

Instruction inside the box best use soapy water and best spray vinyl as you take it of the paper backing. Stops it sticking to itself. Do not be nerves pretend she that must be obeyed is not standing behind you with a big stick. Best get Ian & Rachel to do it.  

She just keeps saying I want them level and even, as if you can see both sides at once, unless you open the doors at the same time :-/ :-/ :-/

door plaques arrived today, they look great, I've fitted them to the magnetic ones from previous year.. hopefully making our way down to devon tomorrow, what's the weather like??  ;D

At least the pink goes with her car, I was going to borrow it next week to go to Stansted in for two days, so if you see some bloke in a white mini with pink panels on his doors in Essex that will be me ;D ;D ;D

Ooh ducky ::) :D :D

Yes so tomorrow after I fix the oil leak from the rod change, I will accurately set out the doors for the plaques, then place them on the door using a Laser level :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D I might put one upside down to see if she notices :P

Door plaques on.   ;D  Bright pink and gold - Mmmmm nice!

Suit you sir!

Being the 50th anniversary, I had hoped this year's colour would be gold - I should've known better.  :-/

Oh go on Mike you know you just love pink - I'm sure its man pink  :D :D

Inside leg sir won't take a minute a touch of gold for some people.

Pink is very well represented in my wardrobe, but if you see me speeding away in the opposite direction, you know Terry has gone for the inside leg again!  LOL!  ;D

Oo - er   (hysterical)

Suit you sir I am not really gay It's just that I have been known to give them a hand out when they are busy. Thats what you get from living on the ships for so long me matey Arr Jim me lad. Who's Jim

Is anyone else a little scared, or is it just me?  ;)

i aint worried, its not my leg  :D

I bet your glad you have not got a pink door plaque now .

dont think it would go with the blue MINI  ;)

They look fantastic on blue minis tried them on lindas

if anyone starts playing the y.m.c.a
i would get out of the way

I would watch out for anyone wearing a pink Tee Shirt.

They dont look to bad on the white mini, had lots of folks looking on the M1 yesterday afternoon, Julie had someone talking photos yesterday at Mataland, dont know how they are going to look on the black mini, never mind it "all for Charity" ;D ;D ;D we even got an outfit for the dog, if he lets us put it on him is another matter, or how long it lasts once its on :D :D :D :D

They look great on a black mini - can't really miss them.... ;)

There a bit of a clash with my red 1275Gt stripes, but never mind :) :)

I'll be trying them out later!! Should look good on the blue mini, not so sure on the green MINI  :)

Fitted one pair on Saturday, its a b***er when the wind blows ;D ;D ;D half way through placing it on the door ;D ;D

Don't forget to spray the back of the plaques as you peel it of the backing paper. Stops it sticking to it's self.
I think I will get some extra one to take to Westward Ho.

Quoted from chattsmini

Now I tell Domino this is a competition. Next year there might even be a fancy dress award for best dressed dog

Charlie will probably eat it before antone sees it Monday, thats if he does attack me and Ian once we get our outfits on,  :D :D :D :D, on the Saturday were do we finish up, is it the steam rally or somewhere else?

It used to be the steam rally but that is now held later in the year so we finish at Dartington Glass. They make us very welcome. Then I think we are convoying back via some really mean big dipper hills out of Torrington. Great fun!

Okay, so does that mean we get to come down again for the Steam rally later in the year ;D ;D ;D ;D

Yes we've already booked. It is sunday 20 september. Terry hopes to go too. I'm sure others will commit themselves nearer the time.
