Well, it was a little overcast, but my MINI Brooksie, my wife Chris, and I popped on down to the parking lot at Dave & Busters, a local eatery-cum-game-spot, for the mini-mini-mini-Meet here in San Diego. It was pretty deserted at that time in the morning, we waited a bit, and Rick Erazo showed up, with a grin. He didn't have his MINI yet, it's due in this coming Tuesday, but he was glad to see us. We chatted about various MINI-things, and then Mark Maunu drove up in his Red & White Cooper! Mark has had his a little over a month, and loves it.
We four Mini nuts yakked about lots & lots of MINI stuff, compared features, I showed Rick & Mark the sunroof operation, we talked about dealer horror stories AND dealer hero stories, and generally had a great time. I took some photos, they're on my Personal Gallery page, under Vanwall, and Rick & Mark took some, as well. We were expecting a coupla more MINIs, but alas, they were no-shows. Hopefully next time we'll get more turn-out. We all agreed to have a next time, so Rick can show off his new S!
Right toward the end, a Frog-eye Sprite, just finished mechanically by Rick's son-in-law Chris, crashed the party. Nifty!! Just what we needed, a reminder of the glorious past! Well, more fun next time!!
BCNU,
