I think it's terrific for folks to see roof racks installed AND in use at shows. I've always enjoyed seeing a bike on a MINI or a cargo box, etc...
Hmmm. Might be cool to bring my racing bicycle along and mount it on the roof rack. Would definitely be different. Especially for a Concours D'Elegance

NIGEL will not be able to attend this event. We have too much going to get prepared for it. We may find time to drive over to view the show however.

Thank them for the invite for us.

Well, this may never happen again but the Classics could outnumber the MINIs at this show. What?!?

What a fun show! Thanks for all of you who came out for the day to show your cars and to see the cars. Great to see so many club members yesterday!

The organizers of this show have invited us back for next year. Yay!

Here are a few lousy phone pics. I tossed my camera bag in the boot and it stayed there the whole day. Perhaps that's a good indicator of how much fun this show was. :D
