Silly Mini Sunday 2010

4th April 2010

It's not the first time the Spammers have attended this well known event but it is the first time the organisers have allowed the BMW MINI. This year had a theme of 'The Muppets' which when you think of our colour range was not going to be easy.

Nikki, white BMW, had made a Kermit and with some fake grass turned hers into a new home for the lovable frog.

Anne, Silver BMW, decided to turn hers into a space ship, so with a crew of pigs and one alien we had 'Pigs In Space'.

6 cars were due to attend but due to other commitments Bill had to drop out, so 5 cars left Ivybridge at 7:30 and drove to Crealy. In Crealy approximately 50 cars parked in up the adventure park for the general public to see and also gave us opportunity to partake in the fun of the attraction. The only downer at this particular event is the lack of support for the BMW Mini which we were glad to see a presence of 4 vehicles. Much to the upset of the organiser, she did not hide it well, the raffle was won by Nikki, BMW, and the car fancy dress by a Yellow BMW as Big Bird (and yes he did appear in the Muppets on one occasion).

After leaving Crealy we drove to Dawlish Warren via Powderham Castle where we were allowed to drive through the grounds and the castle gates.
