Again a big thanks to Neil and Billy for another great MTM,great to see and meet so many newbies who enjoyed the event,a brilliant array of minis,from Liam Cotters 850,Mick Glennons 14thirsty ,Brendan Kerrigans retro MKIV,David Winns newly restored 1275GT,the famous Miniworld Sputnik and all the other star minis that made up the cast of MTM09.The weather in Cork was crap but the further MTM got from Cork the better the weather got and driving minis in the sun is the best.It is great to see that the MTM is going from strenght to strenght and long may it continue.I for one will be back next year but I might leave the auto behind
Again, would like to thank everyone and anyone involved!
I think there's a few mini converts to be added after the weekend, I for one wouldn't mind something metro engined some day :p
Here's a few random pics I took over the weekend:
Few of us from around Cavan meeting up en-route to Athlone
Somewhere on the way to Cork (probably)
Saturday morning ready to go
Few mini's behind us
Waiting at the boat
Time for a rest....
Some place along the moonscape route
Steven's other mini with our "blonde" sister Fiona and Cormac
I took my son along this year as navigator and photographer. I originally only put 35 pictures up on my web site, but have now added them all (about 253 pics), you can find them on www.craigsminis.com - MTM2009/More.
Enjoy,
Craig

Well i have looked at all the M2M photo's that different people have posted and well done for getting some cracking shot's in it seem's that everyone was carrying a camera on the run well done jon
Great pics, everyone. I particularly like the one that JustCoupe posted of the Minis going up the hill - should send that one to MiniWorld - Minis, sunshine, stone walls, cows, grass - perfect Oirish photo op!!!
Great photos, some lovely Minis there, especially the green Mini Garage van. The white Taxi Mini is class, I reckon a real Mini Taxi would do serious business.

The green van was picked out by MiniWorld as their favourite of the event. Well done Mick, I mean Paul Glennon.
Massive Pictures.
First chance i have got to log on.
It was a great weekend and I would like to say thanks and fair play to the lads for all the effort in putting this event together.
It was my first MTM and hopefully be back next year for more.(If Im left)
I must remember to Bring wellys next year >( so much for all the hours I spent fixing water leaks) the rain just kept coming in and yes both Shoes were wet.
Hope all made it home in one piece and look forward to meeting up again.
One more post from the crazy American who tagged along with Billy. The trip was great fun and you Irish really know how to make a visitor feel welcome - Thanks!
