And thanks to you Steve too - you're the one who succeeded in getting HC MINI involved originally!

No, no. Thank you !
I did sort of put the pressure on... in a very amiable way of course.:)

What a bunch of maroons. You don't deserve to be called tools.

Thank you Bonnie Blue:)

we're #153 :biggrin:

Looking forward to our 1st MOT!!

Welcome aboard and pray for weather...
Any weather at all - MOT is nondenominational in regard to weather - keeps it interesting

Oh yeah, i didn't say my number! We're #114! This will be our first MOT too. :)

Are you guys aware of what our brethren are doing over in England today? Longest MINI Convoy (http://www.mini2.com/forum/uk-ireland-confirmed-events/136784-28-3-07-guinness-world-record-attempt-longest-mini-convoy-registration-now-closed.html)

They're only aiming for 195 cars. Seems like you could beat that at MOT.

Tricky thing is you gotta stay within a couple car lengths of the car in front/back of you. Fine near the bottom, but could be quite disastrous near the top.

Well I was thinking that could be one of those day activities. I bet that'd attract some people. Probably best bet is along the Kanc.

Hi guys,

I met up with some west coast MINI owners over the weekend. I was in Vegas this weekend for Dave Matthews and when I found out AMVIV was going on I had to go check it out.
I didnt get to stay long but I met a few people and bought myself a t-shirt and shot glass. They took up the whole top floor of the Palace Station garage! I took a few pictures so I'll post them as soon as I can. :smile:

over on NAM there is quite a thread about AMVIV and the number of people who's cars got shot at with a pellet gun plus a bunch of hecklers who made parts of the festivities quite angst ridden for a few people. I hope this is not a trend................:frown:

They ended up with 269 MINIs and Minis :eek:

I'll be there tonight. A week late, but if there's any stragglers I'll be sure to leave them a new "bashing comment" ;)

That thread serving me a reminder in the past few days that it is part of the South.

Does it come with a bouffant hairdo and the speech module? If so, I'm in!

If you win Brian, we'll find someone with appropriate hair to sit in it and talk to you all the time ;)

On a serious note: A big pat on the back to another MINI owner who has gone above and beyond and has sent in a seperate donation for Rosie's Place. The person does not wish to be thanked directly so I'm thanking you all (and that should cover the anonymous one).

When I bought a fun little car to remember a trip to Oxford by I never thought that it would be such a humbling and gratifying experience as well - There is a sense of giving and honor amongst all of you that is truely rare - Thanks to all of you! If anyone doubts the generousity of the human heart point 'em in this direction - It will restore their faith (Just keep 'em away from the Cod)

If anyone else wants to make a donation just make the check out to "Rosie's Place" and send it to: MINIs on Top PO Box 617 Essex MA 01929 The cause is a good one !!!

Only 2 1/2 months! No Foolin' :hmph:

in another sense, they're all pretty shifty :eek:

Theo has prompted me to remind everyone about the MOT Concours/Car Show. I would still like to hear your thoughts and ideas in its thread:

I've just realized there has been no mention of weather observatory tour yet. Has this feature been dropped? I really enjoyed this last year. Aside from getting to drive up early and get primo parking spots, we got to climb that tower and really be "on top"! I hope Pete B, hasn't abandoned this , it would be a real shame. :frown:

Jock, the observatory tour is on, like the previous years
