A brilliant drive last night organised for Solent Area by John & Patricia - well done both!
44 MX5’s was an impressive number, as indicated in Johns previous post and it was good to see everyone. Meeting up with South central on route round the M25 worked like clockwork and we all then made the pilgrimage to Thurrock, our start point, noting that others had gone straight to South Mimms but we met them there after our brief stop at Thurrock for the obligatory loo stop and supper - by way of Burger King
On arrival at South Mimms it was easy to find everyone, as we could see in the darkness a figure outlined in white LED’s who was waving is arms and walking up and down the rows of MG’s and MX5’s. It was very effective and he said it took him hours to sow the LED’s onto the black bolier suit, which I quite beleive but a fantastic effect.
The figures quoted for the cars that took part, show just how popular this event is and we were fortunately blessed with a clear night on which to cirmumnavigate the M25 and not too cold either, as it was 6 degrees but I did note that when we got back home my Octavia had a nice layer of ice on the roof.
So, now to go and collect the sponsor money, from all those that kindly sponsored us
Yes a fantastic night! Several MX5 Owners Club Regions took part, Solent, Kent, South East, South Downs,Eastern, North Thames, South Central, West London, Cheshire and North Wales, and the forum MX5 Owners & Drivers members, bit of a task bringing them all together at 2 different start points, we all had a common theme in mind, and this is the result as at 22nd February 2017…the MX5’ers have raised £3236 inc Gift Aid of the grand total £7864…We must put our hands together for the Kent Member ‘Grant Rudge’ who by going topless raised over £1000…A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL…
