Molvern Mini Show

A little bit late but MOLVERN MINI SHOW is on tomorrow


Should be a great one

Only just got back home from the trip to Malvern - 425 miles round trip!! I'm too tired to post photos tonight - although will try and get one up of Katy and Wolly proudly displaying their awards - sorry Rupe!!

Was the trip ok

The trip was OK, albeit very slow. We were in convoy with JVG, but poor old Katy, with her automatic engine, REALLY doesn't like any sort of hill, especially long slow inclines on the motorway. It's a bit scary when you're stuck in the crawler lane - getting slower and being overtaken by the lorries - ooops. They must have really been cussing me.

It was about 4 hours there on Sunday morning, basically a good clear run, both cars doing well, the only, very minor problem was my heater seemed to stop working and I wasn't wearing a coat- but hey, in the grand scheme of things that's luxury. We arrived at 10am, to join Rupert who'd been waiting very patiently. I don't want to prempt the details in the article in the next newsletter but it was good to see other members who were also inside, with and without their elves.

It was a very long 5 hours on the way back, a lot more traffic and more hills (?). But again both cars did the run beautifully. JVG was wrapped up and put away. I'm taking Katy in to be waxoyl'd tomorrow as, whilst I'll get the train whenever I can, I'm still gonna have to drive her through the winter - better have a look at that heater!!



The club stand



Members from all corners of the globe!!



Shock and disgust at the "dog's dinner" (his words not mine!!)that is my engine!!

That was my first time at that show i fought it was ok will go again next year hopefully with GIZMO my hornet

We whent in the Mini Minnor it was its first proper outing with the re-built engine done by me and dad and it did`nt miss a beat

Here's a couple of Pics of Rupert at Malvern. *NB Bonnet is firmly shut!





There will be more to come showing Al and SJ proudly showing off their wares....... and a couple of trophies too!!!!

Jase

Here is "Elfred", my 1965 Riley Elf Mk 2 at Malvern.



Unfortunately due to the confusion over whether the EHR would get a club stand, I ended up on my local Mini club's stand instead.

However, it was nice to come across the the EHR stand and meet you all again.

Best regards,

Richard

I keapt on trying to take a photo of Elfred but people keapt on getting in the way

Perhaps we're the hippy contingent of the EHR?

This show is unique because every car displayed is judged for the various categories. The only Mini show I know of that has a category for best Riley/Wolseley!

I haven't been on the forum for a few days and when I look what do I find ??

jvg and Katy looking absolutely fantastic and so deserving of a prize.

I wish many other mini shows had a section for hornets/elfs sometimes we just get left out and its NOT FAIR!
