Pics, pics and more pics from MOTD 4

Below are a few more random pics from MOTD 4. Enjoy.

Herbert


Wow, what a curious looking fake MINI :-)




Oh no, what happened to this MINI?




This guy came to slay the Dragon, and had a very unfortunate incident with a black bear instead.




The seems to be an original Mini




Well, an original Mini barbecue that is. Thanks to folks of MINI of Pittsburgh.




Nice roof puzzle indeed. Found right next to the Cooper Flags tent.




This is me with Mike from Aesthetic Creations. He is a super nice guy, but unfortunately has had some bad luck with his 4 day old V-Tech Mini. :-(





MINIS started to line up for the movie hours before the actual start of "The Italian Job."




The Cooper S race car from Wayland of WayMotorWorks.com a bit on the "heavy" side.




Chad from DetroitTuned.com worked super hard all weekend and he is a an awesome guy.




At the Dragon Midnight Run the first MINIS are already well in place, as tons of MINIS still arrive.




All MINI lights are "a-blazing" on the gravel lot at the TN end of the Dragon




On Sunday morning many MINI motorers are still asleep in their cabins




As I am leaving the Deals Gap "crossroads", 6 other MINIS were heading out aswell towards their respective homes. We ended up all stuck behind a few very slow touring motorbikes. :-(




A quick stop on the road at a small diner for a very American breakfast, with my little "un-American" MINI waiting patiently outside.

These pics are awesome! Makes not being there a little easier! The drive-in thing made me laugh. Great idea!

Here are a few more.

Herbert

The 10am group leaves for the 140 mile scenic drive. Because "I had" to get an additional Dragon run in the morning after this photo, I missed my 11am group.




My Cooper S parked along one of the gravel parking lots on the TN side of the Dragon about 3 miles away from the twisties.




The MINI of the Future Queen of Nebraska is parked next to the MINI of the Modest King of Detroit.




Here is Mr. Bean, unfortunately only shot from behind. Hopefully others can post more.




The vendor areas were quite busy and the near by parking areas allowed for great MINI story exchanges and upgrade tips.




Stuck in a convoy behind a slow motorbike with a trailer, but hey that at least allowed for this photo. :-)




Finally a stretch of open road without ant tight turns. My MOTD 4 registration tag still dangling of the mirror as I never wore it around my neck.

Wow.

Here you are, as you can see, it was actually for sale. I unfortunately only shot it from the back because I am a vanity plate hound. But others surely should have a better angle or side shot.

Another curious pic was this one of these 2 MINIS trying to kiss. Wonder where they are from?

It's definitely an unusual personalization choice... but hey.

Took this just before Trogdor took his first trip up the dragon. You would think the Dragon Wagon would hold him back but not a chance I was quite happy to see how easy the trailer went up the dragon. I got several comments on the Wagon from everyone. It was great to see everyone. I am ready for MitM in August now.
