Brooklands Mini Day – Sunday 25th March 2018

Brooklands Mini Day – Sunday 25th March 2018

The opening event of the show season.  Nick, Dawn and Jean went in Nicks Mayfair as the other minis hadn’t yet come out of their winter hibernation.  We were joined at the show by Paul and Iain.

The number of minis attending this show seems to grow each year and although we didn’t have a club stand at this event we were able to park up together on part of the old race track.

Bacon rolls, etc were sorted as first priority before heading off to check out the mini displays, trade stands and the minis taking on the test hill hill climb.

The excellent aviation and motor museum complex had undergone major refurbishment work since our last visit with the hanger home to the Loch Ness Wellington having been restored and relocated away from the old track finishing straight.

The Footman James Great Western Classic car show – Bath and West Showground – Saturday 10th February 2018

The Footman James Great Western Classic car show – Bath and West Showground – Saturday 10th February 2018

A few of us braved the cold and attended the Great Western Classic car show. It was a great show and a lot of people turned up with their vehicles despite there still being snow on the ground in some places.

There was a nice mix of makes and models, from immaculate E-Type Jaguars to a humble 1978 Honda Civic.

John Challis (Boycie from Only Fools and horses) was there meeting visitors and signing autographs.

The Autojumble and trade area was busy, most of us picked up a few bargains, the fact it was indoors helped of course.

The hot drink sellers also did a roaring trade!!
