Minis by the sea was a relatively small but laid back
show attended by some of the EDMC members on Sunday 13th
August. There were six of us on the club stand in total
with a few more cars scattered about elsewhere. Although
the weather was a bit dodgy, I don’t think it put too
many people off; it was more sunshine & showers than
L2B 2006 style. When the sun did come out it was a good
chance to have a wander about the show & head down
to the town centre for some grub. Strangely enough there
was no food on site in order to ‘look after local businesses’
or something so I headed down to a restaurant called KFC
to taste the local Worthing delicacies. And it was good!
There were quite a few decent cars on show including a
supercharged van, a selection of cool clubman estates
& some original looking classics. The club stand looked
as good as most & hopefully we might have picked up
a couple more members. There were only a couple of trade
stands & one or two stands of auto jumble but it was
nice enough to just sit around chatting & breaking
the occasional table (Sorry….) I think it was of poor
build quality personally, & what with the uneven ground
&that… Anyway, in all it was a good day out &
more relaxed than some of the larger mini shows on the
calendar. The journey back was a nice drive in convoy
along the coast past Shoreham, Hove, Brighton etc and
we all made it back without any breakdowns!
