Several members of our club participated in a local parade and I believe it was Adelphia cable had a crew there shooting it. This clip comes from our participation.

A couple of notes. We originally planned to drive straight through, when one of our drivers radioed us that we should do donuts in front of the camera. Never having done that in a group, and having to do it on camera in front of lots of people--we weren't exactly sure what would happen.

Fortunately as the clip shows it was a crowd pleaser. We went away with 1st place for the car club category, and heard from an parade organizer that they wanted us to participate in theirs as well--forgot what city that was.

Finally..this formation donut clip was the first of about 5 or 6 performances we did that day--so we got faster and tighter as we made our way down the route--the cameras should have been there!

Here we go!

Enjoy

Sorry no quicktime available. Clip originated as MPEG2 off a DVD and I was only able to convert it to WMV.

 

Awesome! Looked like you guys practiced for it :P

 

Well done. Wife thought it was CUTE

 

Awesome idea! MINI should have paid you for the free publicity. We certainly take a few extra spins around traffic circles around here on mini runs, but I don't think ever thought of a parade "performance" like that.
