Vancouver MINI Christmas breakfast drive-bring a toy

[beken]

Hi all,
I called JackFM and the Pan Pacific Hotel and they inform me that this year's annual toy drive happens on December 12.
Have spent a number of Christmases in a hospital when I was quite young, I can appreciate what these charities do. So now that most people think I'm all grown up, it turns out I've faired well and am able to own neat things like a MINI. It's time to help out our community in a small way.
So I would like to challenge all MINI drivers to bring an unwrapped toy down to the Pan Pacific Hotel on December 12 between 6AM and 9AM. Parking is free and you get free breakfast too.
Being a member of the Vancouver MINI Cooper Club, I was wondering if MINI drivers would like to meet somewhere (maybe Yaletown MINI's service department, or Richmond MINI) and we can do a MINI drive to the Pan Pacific together.

Any interest in this?

Here's what I am going to do.

Meet at Richmond MINI and leave there at 7:00am for Vancouver.
Meet at Yaletown MINI on Hamilton street and leave at 7:35am for the Pan Pacific Hotel.

Should arrive at the Pan Pacific around 8:00am. I should be able to get back to work in Burnaby by 9:00 so I won't be too late.

Those who are able to join me can meet me at Richmond MINI or Yaletown.

I'll have my FRS radio with me so we don't get too lost in the rush hour traffic.

Thanks for reading.

8 MINIs made the very early morning drive to the Pan Pacific armed with lots of toys.

So you've finally woken up, have you? ;)

Good shots. Thanks for sharing and thanks for joining us on the run. I think you should submit either R0012896/897 or 899 to one of the calendar contests for the 2009 calendar. The city and the cars look great.
