200-225 miles 0 (0%)
225-300 miles 0 (0%)
over 300 miles 5 (16.67%)
i dont even wanna go, so dont give a S**t 3 (10%)
the majority of people are voting around 100-150 miles or less!!!
Basically if the meet is too far away, most people won't drive there!
Just because the meet may be in the most central position in the country doesn't necisarily mean its gonna be the biggest meet.
Hemel was quite big as there was a large number of members located around it (say 100 mile radius) and others knew it'd be good so travelled there too.
dr.pepper I know mini meets are much bigger - but compare the number of people with modified corsas to number of people with a mini full stop -
Finally mate, I know you have plenty of cash. but thats at least a full tank and a half (especially the way I drive) ...
so say 60 quid!
to get to say sheffield and back.
So I pay 60 quid, to drive for ages, stand in a car park for a couple of hours, then return?
as I keep saying if it was for something different or a days activity fair play...
but a car park, maybe 30-40 cars... I dunno. 60 quid is a lot to me lol
There are many more people on this site than on mini2
And 60 quid- your joking right---I Drove to hull and back on two tanks full- about 45 quid- most people will have a couple of people in the car sharing the cost.

Anyway----The organisers just need to sort a location - give us notice and see what happens- i am prepared to drive a decent amount of miles for a big meet, still dont really see what the big problem is.
Going to bed now got to pick the car up from the spray shop at 8 tomorrow
