If the Sunshine MINIs members that are going to be at the show want to get a group photo done on the Sunday I'm happy to meet you all at some point during the day and take one for you on your cameras, its the least I can do for the fun we had on M&M4 with you :D

I'm sure we can sort something out Silverstone has a number of fixed points we could meet up at, its circuit shop, or its gas station for example ( yes it does have one inside the circuit!), you guys (and girls) will no doubt be going for the whole weekend so you will have a backdrop picked out by then, pick a time and we are good to go :)

Thought I'd better post this before you all get on a plane :) , I will be at the main circuit shop which is just behind the pits on the main straight, the first building in the line of buildings with the gas pumps, on Sunday (if the tickets turn up :? ) at 11.00am, I'll take my M&M4 badge with me so that you can spot me, then those of you that want to do the 'wish you were here' picture can come along :)

Sorry Janet and I have not been able to post anything - It cost about 20 Pounds for internet usage at the hotel...$30-$40 so we are spending our money on other stuff currently...sorry!! We waited inline here at Mini United to take a quick type on the puter to say everything is awesome...and we will be posting some pics when we get home. This place is unbelievable.

You thought I liked circles??? yeah..not the ones here....a circle (roundabout) about every 3-4 miles....whew...so many stories to tell but not enough time right now.....

Gotta go wait in another que (line).

Chow!!

OK, I finally got internet access thanks to the "White Roof Radio" guys. Here are some pictures. I will try to add more when I can get on line. MINI USA and White Roof Radio are the best hosts in the world. They are giving us the royal treatment. Free food and drinks at the VIP tent and Hanging out with the likes of Mike Cooper, Paddy Hopkirk and Rauno Aaltonen. Hope to add more pictures soon.

I'm here too!!!! As Debbie said....not a lot of access to the internet. Haven't had a chance to use the wi-fi at MINI USA/White Roof radio. It was down when we realized they had it yesterday afternoon! Anyway this place is unbelievable!!! Have tons of pics and lots of stories to tell. MINI USA has had us each signed up as VIPs so we get the royal treatment - free meals, great special programs just for us, etc. This is just the coolest event!!!! It is amazing to think that all these thousands of people are here all because of our love of one little tiny car! More to come!

This one always cracked me up, a roundabout with a few houses and a pub in the middle of it :lol:

Glad you're all having a good time!

It was my fault we didn't spot each other I should have made myself more obvious rather than sitting down, I did see two ladies walk from the pit side of the cafe across the grass behind me then into the paddock area where the club stands and the small MINI USA tent was, was this you? I'm glad that all of you that were over have had a great time, looking forward to reading about your exploits, enjoy the rest of your stay and have safe trips back home :)

Thanks for the comments on the photos Barry :)
