Just back from MICK's Bog Run and as promised it was the best fun I had all weekend.
"Great day out"
"Couldn't have planned it better"
"I'm glad I took the Mini today"
"The Mk2 never looked better"
"Should have used Wets instead of Slicks"
"Why did I bother washing and polishing it?"
"I didn't realise I'd need wipers"

Well the sun was beating down on us ( opps, sorry , that was last year in Tenerife). Yep, the rain came and muddied the roads, but luckly no one got bogged down, although ZAKGT did have to mend his exaust. DAVEC, miffed that he couldn't do the run , did a little rain dance as he left the meeting and the heavens opened on us.
Eleven Minis drove around North Kildare, but it would probably have been drier driving across the actual Bog.

Thanks to all that turned up and made the organisation worthwhile.
See ye next month , when the DLMinier's bring us down around Wicklow.

A good meeting today followed by a good run.Plenty of new cars to see and four new members to meet.This new format is working well, I've seen 17 different minis at the last two meetings.

[skelly]

had good day apart from the wealther. was good to get out in the mini again. nice run black7 ill get the wipers fixed for the next one

[BlackSe7en]

By the way, did I mention that it was slightly wet on the run today. It's a pity Billy couldn't make it, I couldn't see even him jumping out every time we stopped. Actually it was so wet we only stopped once and that was we weren't sure if the Canal was the road or not.

[DaveC]

Well done all, it looks like it was a good run. Sorry I couldn't stick around.
I will plan a route for next month and we might head in the Wicklow direction

[steeo]

Good meet, nice to put faces to names.
Hopefully I can join in on the runs sometime soon.

The installation of the height adjustable exhaust on ZakGT yesterday in preparation for the Bog Run.

Well done to Killian for organising this yesterday, and a big thanks to all those who turned out too. Nice to see the numbers and the interest in the new format.

Next up is the Autojumble on the 28th and looking forward to Daves run in October.

[spicooper]

Its great to see the new format working long may it continue, its great to see so may new members and car turn up for these runs.

Don't be fooled by TMG's photo of ZakGT fixing his exhaust. That happened on the way to the meeting ( before DaveC did his rain dance).If he had had to fix it on the run , he would have drowned. Did I mention that it was a little wet yesterday?

[The Marcos Graveyard]

Did I mention that it was a little wet yesterday?

That was probably just the excitement Kill.

[92Coop]

hopefully our minis will be out of hospital in time for the next one

fair play lads, that weather was mouldy yesterday

[mini1275gt]

Hi Guys

Many thanks for waiting for me yesterday !
I will have to learn how to read times etc in future,
I had a great time meeting some new faces and thank god that for the rain to wash off all the nice soil we encountered on route . Great roads for the mini with short turns and long stretchs .

Regards
Brian
