UConn Car Show 4/19/08 - Let's take over the show!!!

[Evowned]

I have been to this show for the last 4 years and have been beyond impressed with the turnout of it each and every year. It has a HUGE euro crowd that shows and is always a good time. They consistantly have 500-600 cars show every year and ALL of them are impressive. I figured we an get a caravan of Mini's together and enter as a club (NeMini.org/NAM) and try and take over the show 8)

Here's all of the info for the show off their site:
