Well , what a Day !! what a welcome from the People of Waterford , again a massive turnout of Minis, 29 Cars and 5 that were late and not allowed onto the quays by the Gardai for the start , sorry lads but I am sure ye will be early next year , the parade itself was brilliant and the reception from the Crowd was awesome , the local radio station WLR were also excellent and gave us lots of 'exposure' for the Club , the highlight of the Parade was the 'burnout' by 2 Minis and 2 Harleys in front of the podium --- the Crowd loved it , again thanks for the effort everyone and it was good to meet some of the new members , 5 new Club members were signed up during the Day as well , on a final note Thanks to Alvin for pulling this off again and I am sure We made a lasting impression on the People of Waterford .

What a Blast!
That's was the best St. Patrick's Day in years! Was such a thrill!
Cheers Alvin for all your hard work. Had a huge smile on my face at the end of it all. Shame couldn't make it for any part of the run, but there's always MTI!!!!

Mitsey got home safe and sound (15mins to curfew!).

Oh, and just got to the end of the parade route when my engine overheating light came on! Blasted out the aircon on full heat and it was off 30 seconds later!

But what a day! Thanks again!

Oh, and of course it was great those of you I met! :oops: (Nearly forgot to mention that.....I'm still buzzing!)
Great to be able to put a face now to the name/MiNi!
