    Had a great time! As many people that were there, still ran into friends made at MOTD this year. Very fun to see so many minis in one place.

    I had a blast! Have never seen so many MINIs together like this in the USA before, but at 848 they said that was the largest gathering of MINIs in one place in the US since MINI USA opened here 11 years ago! And we did set the Guinness World Record for the largest Car Horn Ensemble when we all played "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple!

    Here is a link to my pics on Flickr...

    I just saw the Fifth Gear episode where they set the current record with Ferraris in Old Blighty and thought this is something we should do with MINIs on this side of the pond. Thanks for posting about this. Will be interested in the progress.

    I wish this was happening a bit further south. I could guarantee our 2 MINI's for the parade. But Michigan is a bit far for us to go from Florida!

    A dealership in Virginia Beach has talked about trying this same thing. Perhaps if they get their act together more people from south of the border can participate.

    So who else is going to MINIs on the Mac?

    Right now it looks to be about 20-ish MINIs from Chicago area, and I know of a few Milwaukee area people as well.

    The family is planning on heading out to Grand Rapids area Thursday night. We'll join up with a group leaving from MINI of Grand Rapids around noon or 1pm.

    We'll be heading back around the Wisconsin side for the drive home.

    Reading about all the folks coming from out of state, I felt obligated as a Michigander. So James & I will be in attendance. :biggrin5:
