Fancy this but what's the turn out like for new BMW minis? Only over the dartford crossing for me. Gonna get to mini in the park in August has looks like a massive giggle.

This is the first year of this new event but judging by the owners uploaded photos of MINI's/Mini's on the Brands Hatch Mini Festival website and the interest shown on New MINI forums like TotalMINI and Surrey New MINI there is going to be a pretty good turnout of BMW MINI's over the weekend. There are also rounds of the New MINI Challenge Race series on both days.
