Pics, pics and more pics from MOTD5

Dragon time has finally arrived and here is the first bunch of pics. Please all add as many pics as possible for those folks who have to live vicariously through us.

Arriving at the promised land




Everyone is washing and no one seems to be driving




Eric from Helix is already well busy




This is one fetching looking Alta MINI




Wayland from Way Motor Works brought a few toys too




A nice view towards the vendor area and MINIS wherever you look




The new artistic version of Mean MR Bean 2007

Thanks for the pics. Now I have proof that my out-of-communication partner, Brad, has actually arrived and set up.

At 7:30 am most people are still hanging out in their beds




Oh yeah, it seems like the Dragon will be without traffic that early




Oh no, after the half of the Dragon with no traffic, this is what I saw. Booo




At the great Overlook spot there are a few early MINI folks




Lots of British motorbikes (mostly Triumph) are spending time at the Dragon too




It seems like I am a bit late for the the big MINI parade




Looks like this little dog is indeed ready for the MINI parade




And we are off




As other MINIs are coming back, we know that we are reaching the end of the run




The parking lot on the TN side of the Dragon is quite busy




Some folks turned around immediately and others are just hanging out.
