We didn't fancy Doris blowing up on the way, so we stuck her on 'Pete' the trailer. The potential problem with this being that since his 'operation' (caravan to trailer) he has never actually been used, so he may fall to bits too ;-)
The final coat of yellow was fairly dry, so she has her traditional 'not too shiny' look, but a few detail items were added.
Pete made it to Bruntingthorpe OK, and the bloke on the gate gave us directions that you don't hear every day. "Take the second left past the 747 and just follow the circuit.
Doris hoping she will be allowed to play on this nice open space, shame it's a bit damp though.

General opinion about Doris seemed to be along the lines of 'Bloddy hell you're mad, but it still drives like a Mini!'
It will be interesting to see what they write about her
