I "dropped" in on this thread hoping to see photos of MINI/Minis in front of the Moana Hotel, but it would have been entertaining to see any part of Hawaii as backdrop for MINI/Minis. I hope someone posts pic after the event. Have a great time. Wish I could be there. (thumbsup*)

(*How come I am unable to post smilies anymore?)

Aerial view

Take a look at this view of the park.



In the middle of the park are tennis courts. To the left of them is Mc Coy Pavillion and to the left of that is a key hole parking area and oval lawn area which you can see on the picture. All of this is best accessed from the Ewa side entrance to the park.

Don't forget you can swim too! :impatient

i guess it's a "keyhole" lot...that's what i've always known it as. all i know is for those who wanna check out the surf on sunday, it should have some very fun stuff coming in. even more so we should take advantage of having "reserved parking" on a sunday with waves at ala mo park. all the others in their regular surfmobiles are gonna hafta duke it out for parking, while we can pull on into the keyhole for some prime parking slots. and score some nice refreshments after surfing.

Aloha folks!

Late night reply! Parking at Key Hole will be first come first served. Attempts to get a permit to reserve parking did not materialize. I'll be on site as close to 6:00AM as possible.

Feel free to call me if directions are needed at 222-3274.

Aloha!

Okay, it's 7:35 AM. I'm at Key Hole and parking is filling up. Looks like most folks are out walking or catching some early waves. Stalls should free up as the morning progresses.

Look for the two red tents!

Aloha!

It's 9:05 AM and we have about 20 MINI's parked in and around Key Hole! Feel free to swing by! Parking is still tight, but a stall just might open!

Aloha!

Hi, this is Keikilee and thank you for tuning in. Today we've got a great story about the MINI club, also known as the Hawaii MINI Motoring Club. Standing by live at Ala Moana Park we've got John. John, are you there? Can you tell me what the atmosphere is like?

Well, that's just great. We here in the studio wish we could be out there with you, John. Sounded like lots of fun!

We'll be back in a few minutes for sports with Lyle.
