Pictures up now! Vancouver-Whistler-Pemberton run - Sunday morning, Feb 22

[milliethemini]

As promised, here are the pictures of the run.

Sypnopsis: We had a Vancouver-Whistler-Pemberton run on Sunday, February 22nd. A total of 8 MINIs took part: 5 Cooper S's, and 3 Coopers. The run was a blast - 9 hours in total, fantastic sunny weather, the cars were totally caked in mud and dust when we got home

Now - when you look at the pictures here, you will notice that there are 6 Cooper S's and 2 Coopers in the picture. Why? Well, one of those Cooper S's is the famous (or infamous) 'stealthed' Cooper CVT, the only one of it's kind in Canada I believe!!! Hint: It's the EB coloured one (the owner wanted Electric Blue, but it was only available in the Cooper S at the time and the owner couldn't drive a manual transmission - so the owner converted a Cooper CVT to look like a Cooper S. Pretty amazing job if you ask me )

I am posting a few pics here, will post more at the bottom of the thread.

Meeting time: Be at MINI Richmond approx 9.15am (they plan to leave between 9.30am -10am, the earlier the better) Address: 410-10700 Cambie Road, Richmond.

Estimated time of run: 5-6 hours.

Bring along:
- your MINI (duh!!! )
- full tank of gas
- a packed lunch and lots of bottled water
- FRS radios
- a camera (take lots of piccies )

Planned route:
- Head to Whistler, stop for a quick lunch ( a packed lunch, as eating in a restaurant would take too much time). Then head to Pemberton, have a looksee at the scenery there and then head back to Vancouver.

All MINI owners are invited to this run. I will be going to it , so hopefully I will see you guys there!!

If I get any further details, I will post here.

Please post the pics as soon as possible.....I've just returned from B.C after spending 2 weeks in Whistler and Vancouver.I loved B.C and am suffering from withdrawal symptoms.I intend to return next year with a view to staying longterm.I would have enjoyed the run with my MCS .Did you go through Stanley Park??(Awesome park)
Anyway I'll just have to stay in U.K for now and put up with crappy hot chocolate drinks.We don't have Tim Horton's over here......
ps/ put me down for next years run
