Post 'em if you got 'em!
Registration is taking place and there are MINIs/minis all over the place. Mokes, vans, MC40s, MCSc, and all sorts.
I'll post up some photos later tonight and I encourage anyone else attending to do the same.

Counterfeit MINIs! HA!

MINIs & Minis were parked around the perimeter. There were a few Counterfeit MINIs in the middle.

Just stopped by there and had a mid-afternoon snack. The owner was very complimentary about MINI owners as a whole -- friendly and laid back. He really enjoyed hosting us last night.

The evening set a record for total number of cars at one of their cruise nights 191 cars. Not all Minis, mind you, lots of visitors and other cars, but a record night for them.

He also said he'll be posting pictures from the night on his website soon.

Hi my name is Halston

I was on my way with the wife to Chicago from Atlanta. Photo was taken June 27th 2009 around 7pm. This was JUST outside Chattanooga. There was a yellow Mini, this red mini towing the old skool mini and then two females driving an old skool mini out front.


Kind of creepy but I am a bimmerforums guy and love minis... anyone know the owner? Would love to get in touch with them and find out where they were going. Passed them a couple times on the way up to Chicago.

Nice photo!
Looks like they were taking your pic too....

No plates and I can't read the grill badge to see if it's any sort of club affiliation.
