*** NEWSFLASH **

WE DID IT!!

On Saturday evening, July 24, in the Chinatown district of Vancouver, BC, Canada, history was made when an official tally of 195 Minis and MINIs were tabulated, breaking the previous world record of 171 cars for the most number of Minis/MINIs participating in a parade.

Like I predicted, due to a combination of various factors, which included no-shows and cars that weren't registered properly, we had around 250 cars that were 'registered', but in the end only 195 were counted officially. That was almost 21% of 'no-shows' from the total number!

Congrats and well-done to all who attended, it was loads of fun, especially where we had the city streets to ourselves, going through red lights with impunity (with the blessing of the law, of course)

I will post the pics I took of the event, later today!!! Those who attended, feel free to post your pics in this thread too

/high fives everyone who attended

Hello all,

Thought I would update all of you who live in the Lower Mainland of BC with what's going on tomorrow (thanks LittleD for posting news of the event here!)

We are not quite at 200 cars, but have enough to *just* break the current world record, which stands at around 170 Minis/MINIs. As it stands, we need every single MINI/Mini we can get. A couple of no-shows, and it will all be for naught. That's how nail-bitingly close we are to actually breaking the record.

To sum it up - we need every single old Mini/new MINI car that hasn't signed up for the event yet! So, if you haven't signed up yet, but own a Mini and can make it to Chinatown Saturday evening - WE NEED YOU

If you can sign up, please do so ASAP.
