Sadly, I didn't take that picture. If you google "barrel monster" you will read the best story of your life. Some dude made that thing on the side of the road one night and was arrested but the charges were later dropped.
Barrel Monster...WIN!

hey everyone!! this was a great event! only 5 hours away for me (left home at 4am that morning)... no traffic, a little bit of fog south of Peoria.. actually, a lot of fog... otherwise an easy drive down 55.
the attendance for the event was great! 64 MINIs enjoyed a great day in the sun. The roads were twisty enough and the group was as friendly as can be. Huge thanks to Doug for the invite! it was a fun event and for a good cause. I'm glad I made the trip and look forward to attending next year
