Sorry, I went on a bit there
Actually, I've got loads more, but I think I'll save it for another chat with Andrew

To continue(!)... The traders question is a self-fulfilling prophecy. If the event is well-attended, the traders will want to come - they're not stupid and will not miss an opportunity to deal with a decent number of potential customers, so I dont think its worth putting any effort into trying to ge...

I've been mulling things over for a couple of days, and I think there is a number of reasons why people don't bring their minors to rallys these days. First is the cost of camping, if we got showers and the the grass cut it would be worth what we paid, but just having toilets most people will not c...

i would not accept for one moment that the facilities were adequate, they were not. no showers again so organisers please take note, we are in 2007 not 1907. More annoying was that we were promised showers beforehand! i do feel the rallies are falling off a bit from a members point of veiw. that is...

This was my first National in a good few yea

New ID then Jon what happened to your old one.

I think he got a sunburned head on Saturday - could have affected his memory

The 1st national I attended was in 1993 at Harewood House. Over the years it seems that the rally becomes smaller, less enterants, less traders. We even had live bands playing on the Saturday evening. Are people not supporting the National now as much as they used to? Is there perhaps less things t...

Again, a massive THANK YOU to everyone who helped make the rally happen. I'd agree with that, and with most of your other comments, but I still feel its worth pointing out that just because someone cant do better themselves they dont have a valid point to make. The toilets were disgusting, especial...

Loads of companies werent interested in insuring my Mini van - as soon as they see the word van they want to do commercial policies. AON were predictably hopeless quoting telephone numbers, and that was BEFORE I said it was modified. I got sorted in the end with Performance Direct - they have a webs...

It certainly wouldn't be *what*? Getting confoozled now (not that that takes a lot...)

Seemed like convertible owners were happy to garage their droptops over winter months. Not me :wink: :D Okay, well maybe 'happy' isn't quite the right word :wink: ! It sounds great in principle, but imagine how it would actually work. First off, you'd need to remove the complete frame and canvas fr...

I'm afraid I'm probably sadder than most - I've not only named all mine, but even did it alphabetically! Abigail (the Traveller I still have thirteen years on) Beattie (BT van). geddit? Carrie (Convertible, recently rehomed in Ireland) Dixon (Panda car) - obvious reasons for those old enough Emily &...

Jonathon, have you considered a glassfibre hardtop for convertibles - make them totally useable all year round. Pete Bit of a recurring theme, this one. I first heard of it some ten years ago, with Martin Dooner from the MM Parts Co (remember them!?) who had converted a number of saloons and thus h...

Alans right in that they're getting smarter all the time, but in case anyones worried theres a page of tips here http://www.theminorsite.co.uk/phpCA/pro ... urself.php with specific tips on how to spot these delightful people

Mike, I feel that you should have left this topic on the site, because if people want to shoot themselves in the foot it is up to them, and they soon get found out. Besides it makes life interesting. Cheers Pete LOL, yeah I'm with that! Unfortunately I cant 'bring it back' now - once deleted, its g...

Sorry you feel that way, Ginge.
Ive removed the whole thread to avoid any mention of favouritism - ANYONE is welcome to post there, on the single caveat that they dont seek to offend anyone else. I think the same kind of user agreement is on this board, too!
