I also want to say thanks to Kim, Scott, Craig and all others that put so much work into making this a great event. It was great to meet so many nice people and drive on some fun and very scenic roads. Also thanks to ASobowiak for providing so many pictures of the event. They make me want to go back and do it again next week! The expressions on the faces of onlookers also made the drive worthwhile. Thanks again for a job well done.

I'm pretty sure the lead pic with the 3 MINI's was taken as we were going uphill on right after we left the ice cream place. The Inquirer photographer was on the side of the road shooting with a fairly long zoom - can't remember if we just came out of a bridge, but I do remember seeing him.

WoW! Are all of these people from the MCO or did you get some from local clubs and the area dealerships?

Most of the people that came are MCO members. I posted the event on MINI2, roadfly and the O.L., too. The local dealer (Otto's) did participate, donating prizes and even letting our MINI-less navigator have a loaner car for the car (how cool is THAT?).

Without MCO, however, we probably would have had 10 or 15 cars.......

hothatchpa@yahoo.com for those of you that did and I lost it ...I am sorry .. things have been busy and it was an accident I promise :smile:
