More importantly, who's going to scan and upload the page from the Providence Journal?

It wouldn't be news media if they didn't make up their own facts.

#199, Yikes, I only mailed mine yesterday..

edit: oops.. just saw Ian's post.. looks like I made it by the skin of my teeth.. thanks Ian, and the U.S.P.S. too.

second edit: oh no, it looks like I am car 201... that's like missing the lottery by one number

Clarification:
The 200 car limit is slightly variable, for the following reasons:
#1 - a few of the road registered MINIs won't actually drive to the top; instead their owners want to hitch a ride in someone elses car (ie: they'd like to go up, but their car is scared!)
#2 - a couple people might be expected to drop out
#3 - we've never been quite sure how many cars actually fit "up top" (last year we had 200+, but I'm certain not all of them drove up with the weather as it was)

Finally, as I received 7 registrations today, how do I decide which "came first" and which to turn down? So everyone that I received today is confirmed - but tomorrow and onwards is not.

I think we'll call the auto road "full" now, unless I receive only 1 or 2 registrations tomorrow.

Yes ... you win a brand new convertible, available for pickup at MoP tonight
Oh - there's a significant paperwork charge to pick it up

Well.. since its Minis on TOP I think I am going to pass and plan on coming next year.
Its no fun being MINI on bottom. Had I known my other vacation plans were going to fall through I would have registered earlier..

Everyone have a wonderful time and will look forward to seeing photos!!

Pocket Rocket - your other option is to travel as a passenger in someone elses MINI ...
