Mini Meet East Meets West, July 2 - 6, 2014

I think the final tally was about 120, split almost evenly between classics and new MINIs.....

This is how many showed up for the car show and group pic....



I'm third from the left in the third row, next to a yellow new MINI Clubman

 

Red R59 in the back row, directly in line with the trunk of the tallest tree.

 

I'm pretty sure that pic was taken by a really tall, thin guy with a GoPro on a long rod - while he held it up he worked the camera with his phone - pretty good pic, huh?

Mind you it's not of the same quality as the "official" pic will be, but then it's not $50 either.

Despite not getting Buzz to the event, I had a pretty good time. I re-connected up with folks I met at the last one I attended in 2009 in Winona, and met quite a few new people as well....one of whom is Paul Streiby (sp?) - some of you Ohio folks may know him...... ;-)

 

This one was taken by my buddy Don with his GoPro and quadrotor as the cars were being lined up....

 

I'll post it directly then.....

 

Those new MINIs look as big as buses next to the classics. Great shot!

 

Thanks for sharing such a great picture. Mini/MINI diversity at its finest!
