Final Estimate of MINIs/People?

I was just listening to the WhiteRoofRadio podcast, and they were talking about the Dragon, and mentioned there may have been 600 MINIs there this year. It got me thinking, I wonder what the final estimate was of people/MINIs. I know know one thing, it was like a kid in a candy store all these different MINIs, and showed me another thing I like about MINI. I went all weekend, and never saw one that looked just like mine, out of 600+? What other car can you say that about. The fact that each MINI is ours, an extension of us. Pretty cool. And that "MSFITTOY" MINI, RIDICULOUS! Looked like it was going 100 sitting still....Anywho...

Well, aside from the "register your own MINI/Mini" count (476), which not everybody did...

The closest estimate I can come up with is based upon the number of *unique* people registrations, meaning that you ignore the (+1), (+2), etc. since they probably came in one MINI or Mini.

That number is 543.

So while I think it's pretty safe to assume we broke the 500 mark, I am not so certain that we hit 600. I'm sure there were a few that didn't register at all, but keep in mind that some people registered but couldn't make it.

So unless anybody objects, let's call the "semi-official" MINI/Mini count at 543.

Last year it was 415.

^ To compare it to last year, these are the only numbers we can go by -- but I did talk to A LOT of people who attended without registering.

Just to make it more interesting, everyone in my family had their own registration, even my kids (5,10,15) have NAM accounts, so that was 5 regs and only 1 MINI and a Minivan.
