Cruise Nights

Anyone do many of these?

I'm planning on going to one in Toyota Park tonight... I went there at the end of the season last year (it was cold outside), but there were some nice cars there. No Mini's other than my own though.

Might be interesting one day to show up, en mass just to get their attention.

Toyota park is in my neighborhood. Although I'm usually not home from work early enough to go, I would try to make it out there if some other mini's wanna show up haha

I wanted to show up last night, but they canceled it because of the rain. I usually wouldn't get there till after 6:15 or 6:30... but they go till about 9:00, so you can show up any time between then.

If you're going to show up, let me know and I'll make it a special point to save a spot. Heck, if anyone wants to show up, let me know and I'll try and save multiple spots. Just let me know.

And don't think your mini's not good enough anyone! I showed up in my plain jane 03 and got plenty of attention last year! Now imagine a line of mini's? HA!

Excellent... I'm planning on going next Tuesday, as long as it doesn't rain. So if anyone else wants to show up, let me know and we'll try and park together.

Pete, excellent! I should be there also.


I'll text you Tuesday to verify that we're both still going. If I remember to text you.

Ok, It's tuesday... Looks like so far I and Pete are heading up there... anyone else wanna join in?

I'll be in the red and black mini and I'll try to get a decent spot. I'm not sure how busy it's going to be. I started going at the end of the season last year and they still had about 15-20 nice looking cars. We'll see how it looks this year now that the weather is really nice.

Here's the website from the group of people who put it on: http://nonamejustfriends.com/ so you can get more info...

If they cancel for some reason, I'll post here as soon as I know.

I'm going to be there by 6:00pm... or really really close to that.

I get off work at 4:30, and it's about a 45 minute ride to home, then another 15 minutes to Toyota Park... so I should have time to stop at home, grab a chair, and head over.

Sounds good to me. I should be able to make it there by 6 no problem. I'm at work now but I only live about 10-15 minutes from Toyota Park as well.

Looking like I may have to actually wash the thing! You can roll up to a show and be the only mini... But you can't roll up and be the "dirty mini"

I just had the crew in my building wash mine inside and out.

Looks great! So now I just need a chair and I'm ready for the show. Maybe some cash also...

Got it and replied!

I'm gonna push to get out of here on time tonight. I should be able to stop by my place really easy and grab a chair. Have I mentioned at all in this thread to grab a chair?
