Yeah...that's my car in the pic of Chad from Detroit Tuned (the DS in the background).

It was t-boned by a Lumina prior to the Dragon. I think it made some sort of wind vortex though, because I had great gas mileage to and from the Dragon (on my 960mile journey)

 

hey was it your car that we passed on the way up 81 that was having SEL issues? I think you were caravaning with DeathMetal MINI

 

I love how you still have the other MINIs in the mirror. What a great pic! And to return the favor...A few of you!

 

Blalor, that's Tori's car not Emily. Emily didn't drive her car to the MOTD. I know they look similar but, Tori's MINI is Hyper Pink. Emily's MINI is British Racing Pink. ( I couldn't tell the different of the color neither.)

 

I don't have any stills, but I have 3 hours worth of moving pictures.
Highlights include:

• a Corvette stopping for a squirrel on the dragon
• a biker doing a slow speed wipeout into the woods (he and the bike were fine)
• lots of high RPM suprecharger whine
• a view from the rear bumper

 

Great shots!! I had just picked my Mini up so I couldn't come along...but the next time I'll be there Looks like loads of fun.

 

Had a great time as usual and am glad to see my old friends from last year as well as making some new ones I can see from the pictures that others have posted that I should've walked around some more as I missed a few...

Some shots from the parade!


Just before 9am, MINIS stretch as far as the eyes can see.




More MINIS still waiting, but ready to depart for the parade




I am lined up behind Wagnbat for the parade, and even though we are ready to leave, other MINIS still arrive.




PLus the "flood" of MINIS is lined up behind me well beyond the bend in the road

 

Nice video of that burnout, anthony! That was super silly to watch Jeremy. Looking forward to the one I shot of him from street level. . .

Here's some photos from the weekend:

 

Looking at these pics makes me want to run outside and give my MINI a hug

[hug]Grimace[/hug]

 

I think that's why the caption says: "Emily (StoopidGirl) wishing her car were there".

LOL, I almost made the same comment as you about that pic.

 

Here you go, a few more with more to come, when I get my you know what together.

On our way to slay the Dragon


Morning Dragons Breath.


I think Minzila has been sharing the love.


Moose tracks on the Cherahala Skyway


Bald mountain falls (yes it was worth almost getting a parking infraction from the friendly Park Ranger)


Big Daddy slaying the Dragon.

 

love.....Love.....LOVE all the pictures......

Donna

 

Wow, great shots, everyone! I only took about five, but now I'll have plenty to show people!

Here's one from atop Fontana Dam:


full size

 

Steve! I'm so glad you made it home!! How was it?.. I was in a wikked bad mood after you left with the tow truck guy.. I got a little "misty eyed" thinking there wasn't much more I could have done to help you.. I hope everything went ok!

Here's a sampling of my pics.. will post more later..


Steve and 3M at Fontana Dam

Mike from AC's V-tec converted Old Schooler... hope it gets runnin proper!

 

I got a few shots, link below. Feel free to name your self in the shots if I got you. Still have not had time to take off my magnetic "Flying Tigers" teeth and wash blu, so lots of laughing waves still being generated. REALLY had a blast at our first MOTD!

I think poor Mike from Aesthetic Creations had more issues with his new toy than he could possibly have expected from a "new" car. Cruise control and stereo wasn't working already (after 3 days) and on Saturday he "threw" a rod. I really wish him that he got all his issues out of the way in his first week of ownership.

Herbert

 

Herbert is an awesome guy, glad we met. see ya next year.

 

What is the "Wee Beastie" Invisible?

 

That's why the caption says "wishing" her car was there! I was wishing that too! But it was nice to get the Pink MINI Chicks all together for a photo...

 

Misfitoy, I love that red tow ring on the front end!

Metalminimayhem, that 3M with the swivel door is incredible!

 

ohhh.. that's not my car.. I just thought it was cool... Mine is this one..

 

Great pics guys. Let's keep them coming. I'm so jealous that I couldn't be there!
