My numbers will stay on till inspection time rolls around..... then i carefully take them off, roll off the lot with a new inspection and put them right back on. Can't wait to see what number I will be next year. Number 53 was me this year. Had a blast.

Hey here's an idea, create a sticky where we can input names into each number so we have it recorded 1-274. I know number 1 was survivor dude, so someone will have to post for him. whadda think????

Right now we are in Norfolk. I did not see it on the news, a person I work with saw it. Other than movies on DVD Linda and I don't watch TV, and haven't for 7 years, quite liberating actually.

Thanks MiniMac- that sidewalk was heavily optioned-I didn't notice anything missing that could be put on it-I can imagine the sticker was $$$$. It had a temp tag still on it- in fact I spoke with 2-3 people that had bought their MINI the day before the event-and I thought mine was new at 3 weeks old!

It was cool as there were several rare color, packages etc. in attendence-likethe BRG cabrio with the matching top or the silk green/white MC ,or the gold/black MC- not to mention all the custom work that had been applied.

I took a lot of pictures. I am loading just about all of them on smugmug.
http://dac.smugmug.com/MINI%20Shots
the loading is still going on. At the start I have an index of sorts. Near the end I was standing in the roadway taking pictures of people as they came in. You should be able to download your picture or order a print. The files are a bit on the large side.
