Went to the Dental Office Building in Aurora and there were 3 Mini's all parked in a row (Yellow and Red S's and a Clubman). I added mine to the collection during my enjoyable visit to the dentist

I had no idea until the day of, it was a last minute thang! It was a HUGE turn out too, but lots of bratty M3 owners. Would have been fun to have some MINI love all up in durrrr.

If it makes you feel better, I didn't even bring my ride... we stuffed my BF's drag bike into the back of a sprinter van instead!
