Presentation Time


Sponsors have donated some fabulous raffle prizes in aid of 'Help for Heros' and 'Make a Wish Foundation'

There were prizes awarded for 'Best Dressed MINI' and a cunning special stage.

Massive thanks to all those that organised and contributed, to this huge event, and a great start to the 2008 season.

Top Gear wreckage


Tucked away we found The Top Gear Graveyard. With classics including the Aqua Cars, the stretched, stretched Fiat Panda and the Reliant Robin spaceshuttle.

They must be still loved by somebody.

Meeting Mates


After months with nothing to do, its time to park up and chat with friends old and new. The organisers have arranged catering and the tantilising smell of bacon buttys, wafts in the air.

Unfortunately, the weathers now closing in, and the drizzle, seems to be getting heavier.

On Track


On a freezing Dunsford Airfield, the MINIs get a chance to put in a few laps of the track. In groups of 20, the cars are led out, by the safety car and then the pace is quickend til the screetching of tyres can be heard.

Top Gear


The first major event of the Year, with a huge attendance expected. The weather forcast isnt great for today, but hopefully we can get out on the track. We've set out early so we can get to the track to film some of the other guys turning up.

At the moment we're starting to line up on the far side of the track, well out of the way, and clear of any planes coming in or taking off
