Well today was the day of the world record attempt at the longest rolling Mini convoy.
We arrived at 6pm where we signed in and had a drink, there was a local group playing which were good.
At 7.30pm we had a drivers briefing where we were told what to and what not to do :) we were then given a sticker to say that we had attened , if you didn't have the sticker you were not allowed to drive. While we were in the meeting out passengers had to go and get into the cars ready to go.
We all dashed back to our cars to drive up the road a bit to where the police had closed the road ready, we formed 2 rows then on the go ahead we all set off. There were people along the route taking pics and waving which added to the atmosphere.
when we had driven the 2.2 miles we went up to the next roundabout then back on ourselves where we could see the rest of the mini's behind us doing the bit we had just done. Then it was a dash back to woodmans BMW where they had Champagne and food waiting for us.
The group came back on and the GWR guy anounced that we had done it, we had 269 minis. The record we were trying to beat was 195 so we did it easily, it was well organised and we should find out in the morning how much money was raised for comic relief.
