Spotted on Ascot Vale Road, Flemington, sunday afternoon, between 4pm and 5.30pm about 300 assorted minis, Clubbies and Vans and a few Binis, all in fantastic condition, what a HOOT of a Day.
:P
Drivers of normal car just stopped and looked in disbelief
:shock:
And the sound as the lights changed to green, caused movement in my pants. :oops: :oops:

That is what owning a mini is all about...WEll done........... :twisted:

So to all those who couldn't make it............there is always next year. :idea:

:D Minishow2008 was REALLY good :!: :!:

:arrow: :x Harley i think that you should remove that bunch of sour grapes some time soon and say something positive for a change :D :!:

:arrow: Davo111 It may have seemed like 300 minis but was around the 140 - 150 mark inside and about 20ish various minis outside all day. Would have been awesome to be apart of the "exit on mass" at the end of the day but ............maybe next year 8).

Next year is going to be bigger and better so the VMCi would like to see more great people and thier minis from around this great continent to be apart of Minishow (minis 50th) 2009. to my knowledge there are 2 halls booked for next years event!! so keep an eye out for updates about 2009's minishow.
