MINIS to the Point 5 - NY

The Events portion of NAM never seems to get enough traffic... So this year I thought I would post this here.

Hey MINIACS!! Year 5 of MINIS to the Point is here! Here are the vitals:

When: Saturday - May 18, 2013 @ 8:00 a.m.

Where: MINI of Southampton to Montauk Point (NY)

What’s different this year? Three things – our starting point will be MINI of Southampton’s brand new show room, or should I say HUGE showroom in Southampton. Breakfast and restrooms people – that’s all I can say!!

Second big change? This year’s event will be a charity affair to raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project. I’m soliciting vendors now and will be creating a page on my website (www.ministothepoint.com) with a complete listing of charity items to be raffled and participating vendors.

If you are a vendor and would like to contribute to a great cause by donating a cool MINI prize, you can pm me here or shoot me a quick e-mail to:
albiecrazy@ministothepoint.com

Third change – since our starting point is new this year, our route out to Montauk will be adjusted from previous years.

Let me know if you’re in! Lunch will be at Inlet Seafood Restaurant and our Chinese Auction will be at the conclusion of lunch.
Let's MOTOR!!

Our first vendor has stepped to the plate - Integral Audio. I can't say that I'm surprised; Kevin is a stand up guy. Full Sound Stage + Sub will be up for auction - bidding to start at $1,000. If you've seen this set-up and been waiting to pull the trigger, this may be your best chance to get it. And contribute to a great cause!

Here's the goods:

Integral Audio

Second Vendor

Whalen Shift **** (custom engraved)

Third Vendor

MINI FINI - Single Badge Holder

Fourth Vendor

OUTMOTORING - a few $50 - $75 Gift certificates (that means get what you want!!!)

A little bump on this thread... So far, three vendors have contributed items for the raffle. I'm keeping them up to date in post #6.

T-shirt orders have to be sent to the T-shirt dude by April 30th! A beautiful, black Roadster adorns this year's shirt since they came all the way from South Carolina for MTTP 4.

Let's MOTOR NAMers!!!!

Kevin from Integral Audio has added a second package to the Auction scene at lunch:

10" Subwoofer w/custom enclosure, 250 watt amp, false floor and everything to make it plug and play!

Silent auction bid sheet will start at $500. Retail = $1,149

If you're in the Tri-State area, haven't motored through the Hamptons, want to be part of a charity event to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project and get the chance to get something from Integral Audio at a great price...

Let's Motor!!!

We've reached 30 MINIS. Only one week left to order T-shirts - April 30th is the last day.

HERE is the Registration and T-shirt page.

Also - doing a little dry run out to the Point this Saturday. Leaving MINI of Southampton at 12:00 sharp - just me and two other MINIS if you want to have a little fun. Just sayin'.

Nice! I was starting to think I was just talking to myself around here. I'll put you guys down as a maybe and just keep me updated so I have an accurate head count for the restaurant.

Picking up your first MINI? What dealership?

Well they were nice enough to deal with and I am very happy to say I finally picked up my car today. My wife cracked up soon as she saw it she knew it was mine.

Count us in for sure for the 18th!

Looks like you're in the fog up there, bro.

For those keeping track of the run here - we're up to 50 MINIS. Which is a good thing, but the restaurant won't hold all of us at once.

So it's like high school - pick a lunch period!

12:00 or 1:30. Let me know!

Most that are picking the 1:30 lunch period are going to stay around the light house and do some sight seeing.
