Im sure I and the other runners and riders share the same sentiments but can I offer my sincere thanks for a wonderful experience.
The organisation was second to none and everything ran smoothly and efficiently.
I for one will definately return for the next event.
Once again thanks a million lads it was brilliant.

Just as sprintmini has said can we also offer or thanks to you guys for what can only be described as
a very efficient well planned fun event which we really enjoyed.

We can stop talkin bout it we had so much fun. I just checked our camera's, over 200 photo's taken !

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO TOOK PART FOR A GR8 WEEKEND, LONG MAY THE EVENT CONTINUE.... WE'LL DEFINITELY BE BACK

[MiniKay]

We have just got back. Had a day to ourselves yesterday and got the early ferry from Dublin this morning.

What a fantastic weekend. Thanks to everyone who made it such a brilliant event, and for looking after us so well. We really enjoyed ourselves. So many people were so kind to us, and everyone made us feel so welcome.

As for the event itself, it has to be one of the best driving events going. Real Mini driving on perfect Mini-ing roads, through beautiful countryside. What more could anyone want!

Thanks for that Kay, glad you enjoyed it. Perhaps you'll consider it again some time.

There are a good bunch of us who did the MTM heading over to Birmingham in August for the IMM, I'm sure we'll see you there.

Don't be a stranger now.
