so hopefully there was a rep there and we do hold the record

The UK one for 269 MINIs was official - my car was one of them and I have my official certificate to prove it.

The US one hasn't been verified as far as I know.

So, we may have done it today.

Question I was told 279

I asked one of the organisers after the event and she said we had 279 on the track so we broke the record (just).

However the East Midlands news has just ran a feature saying we were 2 short of the record, and I saw at least 3 Mini's parked when we left the track.

So I'm not sure if we did it or not, but great laugh.

What a great day! Although it was a shame that there wasn't more gaps between the cars!
Fingers-crossed that we managed to beat the record.
Here's some of my own pictures... courtesy of my son, and brother-in-law...
