I know buddy it was a shame. It took us so long to get parked up to. Hope you had a good day and thanks for those kind comments about amber I am very proud considering the conditions and it being my first one. 👍

One word only required 'epic'. 😊

@Simpson's Classics I'm in Cape Town, South Africa where we built Minis up until 1983. The last ones were all unique Clubman's called the 1275e. Still my favourite after the GT and South African GTS.😀

OUF if a Brighton Registration!!

Great video of an awesome show! I really hope its not the last. I came from south wales to do the event so made it into a long holiday. It was my bucket list dream to do the event in a proper classic Mini! Even though it was a bit stressful in parts (there was a small break down on the m4 lol) I'd do the hole event again in a heartbeat! I was one of the first cars in so I can't believe I didn't see you or the car but im glad you made it safely and it was amazing to see you enjoying Amber after the restoration👍😎

Hey thanks buddy. I am glad you made it into a holiday that’s a good idea. Yes it’s nice to see amber living her best life in Petemates collection and even better that I got to drive her still.

I have to say the one thing I absolutely love about the classic mini .. the amount that turned up to the event and I didn't see 2 the same . Looked like a fantastic day .. maybe next year I could go in the mpi .. seems an easier dream to have than the 87 .. shame you were stuck between 2 binis .. and I will not comment on a battered sausage in Brighton 🙈

Very sad. Also sad how long I've been out the mini game. My first show was Mini in the Park when it was at Cornbury Park. I was 13 and we went in an Escort 😆 I was doing the L2B most years in the late 90s, early 2000s. Really hope they continue doing it! I think the BMWs would annoy me nowadays as well.

Battered sausage is way better than a battered beef burger imo, no double meaning intended lol. The atmosphere at that event looks truly epic.
