IMM 2013 Italy

at the moment it looks like we'll have four cars with six people going so reckon we can still fit Brian in as a passenger

will hopefully have a bit of a planning meeting / pub lunch in a couple of weeks to discuss plans further...........

I will come too.

Unfortunatelly time is very short so I will have to fly over and attend friday evening and most of Saturday.

Wish I could bring the Beach Car.

look out for us john - white heinz '57, tatty grey hornet, lovely shiny red elf, tattier green hornet with lovely wood inside and an unknown mini!! hope to see you for a beer to toast the beach car

Well, if a beer is involved , I will track you down like a bloodhound!!!

our convoy of five cars leaves for Italy from dover at 0730 tomorrow morning but things haven't started well - team Rusty (my brother tim and his wife bridget) are currently broken down in cheshire awaiting AA relay to recover Rusty and them to Bromley as one of his tie bars has decided to part company with the subframe. New parts are waiting in the garage for when they arrive, which is expected to be midnight. A short night's sleep and long day tomorrow beckons........................

update - 2am - team Rusty safely in Bromley, Rusty fitted with new tie-bar bush and locknut - time for a couple of hours snooze and offski..................

Safe travels! I wish I could be there!

Hope that was the last of your troubles.

See you there.

how was the IMM? I had no possibility to attend... CU

I shall write a bit more at a later date when i ge the chance - for now suffice to say:

England, France, Switzerland and Italy - We broke down in all of them!!

I bet all your repairs combined cost less than my son's! His Mini wasn't ready so he took his Peugeot. Touring Italy post-IMM, his crank pulley failed in Milan, taking out the alternator belt & battery too. Resultant main-dealer bill - 500 euros!
