could someone please let me know what Hay is and where and when it is on?

thanks

Hay is an annual event held in south australia where people from all around gather, to participate in events such as, show and shine, motorkhanas. it gives the chance for everyone to meet up and catch up with one another.

its on this weekend im pretty sure, the nsw convoy is leaving friday.

so basically, its a chance for all mini nuts to get together, show off their cars, reminisce (sp?), have some fun, compete, and enjoy minis with the cruise through the town.

Be warned that the Police in Hay are pretty strict when it comes to the Mini drivers. They breath tested the drivers heading up to the start of the street parade last year and at many other times during the weekend. Remember this if you plan to have a BIG Friday night (which is compulsory in Hay) and then drive in the morning. They also do many random checks on the Mini number plates making sure cars are registered (street parade / show & shine)

Looking forward to catching up with some Ausmini guys and girls

June long-weekend is obviously fixed in their marketing calendar and business plan.
