MINIsOnTop June 16th, 2007

[GBMINI]

UPDATE:
Registration is now closed


Yes, it's that time again ... finally.
I waited to see if the Cod would take over again, now he's (almost) back in a MINI ... but no.

The story so far. Deja Vu for all MOT2006 attendees!
Friday evening gathering - we expect to have a large room like MOT2006. We expect a Trivia Contest too.
Saturday morning - Loon Mountain Gathering, the best place to meet (and for many of us maybe the first chance to see a pile of R56s - and the Cods new turbo!)
Saturday midday - the drive; there will again be a choice of routes; or gather with other MINI friends and do your own thing (for best entertainment, follow the Ocean State MINI or NEMINI guys)
Saturday afternoon - Mount Washington; gather at the base and eat & chat. Food arrangements will duplicate MOT2006 with a separate tent to ease congestion - and the salad will return
Hopefully this years weather will be nice again and perhaps we'll get a sunset view for the first time since 2003 ... or maybe it'll snow, who knows?
Saturday evening - discussions whether or not to plan anything. Your input is welcomed.


This years charity has been selected by the voice of the people; it is Rosie's Place - we need everyones help raising donations to support the charity, provide door-prizes, etc.

In recognition of it being the fifth year of MINIsOnTop, Craig / Cooperation has designed a special "five years of MINIs" Tshirt for us:

(click to see bigger image)
The Tshirts this year will be gray and as you see above the MOT2007 color is yellow on black. There will again be a "classic" Tshirt design (with no MINIs) for those that prefer it (and for those that simply want to collect as many shirts as me )

The MINIsOnTop website has been upgraded to allow easier updates - and we'll keep track of chat/ideas/suggestions/etc here.

Registration is open until April 29 - also be sure to book your lodging early, hotels fill up quickly!

Nice logo, kudos to the artist!

Thanks for all your work on this, Ian. Let us know how we can help.

[Sheenabea]

I like the logo too!

I'm SO excited for MOT, seeing as how this is my first one! Looking forward to it all!

If you need any help, Ian, let me know!

[m2smith]

Woo Hoo! Now my unemployed life has meaning
Sheenabea - We will be gentle with you - The first time for me was special...
Kinda makes you a June bride but with a Teeshirt instead of a fancy dress!

[chesney]

hopefully Scott will be back in time for this....

[MaxaMiniBro]

Except that Electric Blue one for '04 looks kind of nekked without a duck!
Quack Quack Jack!

[GBMINI]

Don't worry - there'll be ducks everywhere "on top" I'm sure!

[Cape Cod MINI]

Picked out the '04 Maxmobile and '06 GPMINI right away! Niiiice

I'll be there and in the right vehicle this time too.

Can you add the Cape Cod MINI Moose tour for Friday at dusk? We have a 100% success rate so far.

Oh good. Lot's of mammals, night, windy roads. I think I'll drive the BABEmobile.

Steve , consider us pre-registered for the Moose tour , we missed the tour two years ago , looked for them on our own, no moose ... last year , no moose. Patty doesn't believe they exist .

[GBMINI]

Steve, could you pin yourself down to a time to meet / head off (presumably starting from T&C)? Then we can post it up on the MOT site too - thanks

[GBMINI]

PS: It's not GPMINI, it's *any* GP; they all look the same - except the ones that don't - here for example, three of these cars are not mine!

[JR9907]

Richard by June I think the BABE mobiles will be in a land fill somewhere in New Orleans...
