Summary and Pictures

Hey how about that turnout! We had 9 mini's (7 MCS' and 2 MC's) come out for the Starbucks Mini Meet held today. Not to shabby for less than 5 days notice!

We basically trickeled in and parked where we could. In retrospec it would of been wise to pic a larger parking lot to have this. As the other cars left we eventually got most of the mini's together for a "group shot" although there was no way we could line up the cars for anything picture worthy. The weather was gorgeous and everyone was in the mood for some coffee (and Krispie Creams!). You should of seen the traffic mess in the parking lot (that I am sure we added to). We all shared ideas about mod's and for future meets. Sounds like this Italian Job Movie Premier Meet could be quite huge.

A few Starbucks patrons came out to look and ask questions. There were even two people who stopped by who either have a mini on order or are seriously thinking about it. I think we might of swayed the last guy into finally placing his order

It was nice to finally meet some of you guys. I am looking forward to seeing everyone again and meeting all those out there that we have not yet encountered! Next time we have to also go out for a Rally Run

Here are my pictures of the event.

PS: After the meet my wife and I drove out to the Valley Forge National Park for some photos. The park was unusualy crowded because of the weekend/nice weather/Pro-USA troops rally. We were hoping to find a cannon close to the road for some pictures. No go. We were able to get close enough to the Memorial Arch though for some shots. These can be seen at the Link above.
