British Invasion 2007

Posted on by Ian C.

British Invasion 2007 returned to the “old field” this year, and so returned to the ludicrous mud field conditions that we suffered in 2005; I realize the field doesn’t actually create the weather, but it’s still not fun when the field looks like this as you arrive on Saturday morning:

Maybe an asphalt parking lot would be better! At least a clean GPMINI wouldn’t get turned into an off-roader:

Anyway, even in the wet & mud, it was a fun day due to having Margaret, lots of MINIs and lots of MINI friends 🙂

 

 

Five MINIs on Jason’s drive (with him leading in his brand new ’07) – we even were joined by a Red Bull MINI for a short time:

 

Better weather on Sunday:

Old Sturbridge Village

After MINIs and ice cream last weekend, Margaret & I went to Old Sturbridge Village since we were in the area (see here for our previous visit in 2004) …


I think I prefer Beamish Museum … maybe I’m more used to it, but Beamish is set nearer “now” and so has more technology (trains, the accounting system in the Co-Operative store, etc). On the other hand you don’t see real live cow milking, wool dyeing, etc in Beamish!
