its worth trying to still get one but this is usually oversubscribed and people tend to get in early. i got my pack mid February and my ticket number was just over the thousand marker. bearing in mind there is about 2200 spaces.

give it a try though, whats the worst that could happen.

I just walked down to smiths... missed the April edition of mini world. Any ideas? I was thinking of joining LSMOC anyway. Only just got her back on the road after a long time and didn't realise miniworld was the only way to purchase the tickets.

i think your best shot now is to get on to the LSMOC or just be one of the hundreds that join on to the convoy. good luck with it driving

Got my pack three weeks back and I'm number 1889 out of 2000 so I'd imagine you're too late now. As has been said, it's almost the biggest Mini event of the year and always oversubscribed too plus the fact it's the 25th run this year.

See the rest of you in Crystal Palace, I'll be the one with the blue flashing lights and the PH sticker wink

My pack came through last saturday with the number 1933 so it probably is too late. Roll on May. By the way is anybody else also doing the Brooklands Mini day or the National Mini Cooper day at Beaulieu? Fingers crossed Maisie will be ready for Brooklands after a major refit. Volcano orange Rover Cooper with a GRRC sticker, if you see us around say hello. Mark

I'll be there at Brighton and Crystal Palace. Black and White with a PH sticker, keep a look out and I'm sure we can rustle up a tin and a burger for you!

Wow, what a weekend. 570 odd mile round trip and the car didn't miss a beat despite being some speed limited by the mountain of crap I loaded into her.

Great Saturday night, some very very nice cars, shame about the weather and even more disappointing was the shoddy organisation, the route was awful and this morning was utterly ridiculous.

Good fun but I fear it will be my last L2B for a number of reasons.

We got in easily but they parked us next to where the first line would start so that at 3.05am they all started parking and revving near our tent - so no sleep there! Run was bogged down in the first part by really slow traffic but was the same route as last year which was good. Good run down once we escaped town and got into Brighton at about 11.30. Apart from little sleep it was the cold which did it for me but apart from that we can't complain, especially as its all done by volunteers!







We started queueing for the run pack at 5am and bloomin glad we did. This shot was taken at 5.50
