South Down Mini Owners Club Show - 3/8/08

Postby Step_7 » Mon Aug 04, 2008 8:53 am

Just a few pictures from a show held yesterday up here. Organised by the SDMOC and held in Delamont Country Park in County down. This is their 5th annual show and was once again well attended despite a poor weather outlook! The SDMOC does not have many Members with MINIs but this year they had not one but two classes for MINIs - ONEs and Coopers which is a refreshing change considering the "cold shoulder" that can sometimes be shown to MINIs from some clubs. Well done to the SDMOC! :cheers:

The NI MINI2 crew were out in force with 8 cars in total out of the 13 MINIs on show. :) I also managed to get all of my cars to the show which is a first - thank you to my "drivers" for the day! ;)

The weather was "variable" as you can see in the pictures but a good day out was had by all - Congratulations especially to Hugo for his overall "Car of the Show" win - certainly a first for a MINI at any show I've ever been to! :thumbright:

Some of those mini's look fantastic, the black pimped out mini at the start isnt practical but how cares its unique.. My favourite is the Mini Agvantage that looks like it has just rooled off the production line. Great pics.

That Advantage is just superb! I had a good look round it and there's not a mark or blemish anywhere on it and he's resisted the urge to throw alloys at it and kept the cheesy wheeltrims! :cheers:

Funny enough that was a great topic of discussion while the rain was coming down - would the Red Mk1 Countryman start! Well a great credit to it's owner it was fine. :D
