I recommend that you call over to Midwestern MINI & ask them. They are the ones that would be supplying the cars. No chance you'll see the traveler concept in Cowlumbus.

I saw the Mini Traveller concept at the NAIAS in Detroit this year and wsn't impressed. It was pretty outlandish and garrish IMO, even for a concept car. I spent all of about 20 seconds looking at it.

If you want to spend time getting a closer look at various Mini Coopers, just go over to Midwestern Mini and save yourself the $8 to get into the autoshow. They are very friendly over at Midwestern, and they'll likely have more cars in the showroom than they will at the autoshow.

I agree with Mineon, the traveler concept was not very pretty. It did not appear at the Cleveland show, I saw it in Detroit. There was only about 3 MINIs at the Cleveland show this year. The Cleveland show was very good this year. The Jeep exhibit had a very cool off-road course. My favorites were the Z06 and CLS.

I will be there today at opening (10:00am) with a few other of Ohio State's "Boosted" car club members (mostly Suburu and Evo guys). I will tell you all if there was anything interesting about the Mini exhibit once I get back.

I was there last night. Nothing too interesting, maybe 3 or 4 Minis of varying option and trim levels. A person would be better served by going to Midwestern Mini to look at them.

Agreed; the Mini exhibit was really small and not a lot to look at. Also the dealer reps from Midwestern Mini seemed to know nothing about this amazing site or any other aftermarket performance products besides JCW. However the other Ferrari, Lambo, Aston Martin, Royalls Royce, Bentley, Lotus, BMW, etc. were definitely worth seeing. Good $8 spent in my opinion. BTW, the Scion people were giving out lots of free stuff; I got 2 free mix CDs and a mug for answering a couple of easy questions.
