At MOTD 4 I was fortunate to be in the 1st row center and hope to be somewhere close this year. My Texas Flag roof graphic, chili red MINI was a fine center piece for the photo

I was in the back row for MOTD 2006, but I got a nice side profile of the car instead of just the head on view.

I'm leading a sunrise drive around the Smoky mountains that morning, but we should be back by 10:30-11ish.

pretty much it's first come, first row.

For those not familar with the event. It's free to be in the picture. So even if you don't think you are gonna buy a picture, you can come, be in the photo, have a great chance to see a bunch of different MINIs at one time and then you can always change your mind and order a picture later.

Just gotta be carefull of the grass. The TVA is reall touchy abou their grass

That's running at the same time as Dragon Draggin' BUT... we've made arrangements so you can drop off your Dragon Draggin' car, get to the picture, and come back. Your DD car can be raced and run without you, but you may miss one or two door prize drawings. My wife will likely take our mini for the picture - I'm jealous!

again for the newbies, it's a real short process too. We start parking the cars between 10:00 and 11:00 and at 11:05 we're out of there.

I love that picture, it reminds me of when the dam water hits the slightly warm humid air of the morning creating a slight fog over the water.

Event Planner now includes Group Photo

If you haven't already done so, the event planner now includes a link to add yourself to the list of MINI's that will be attending the group photo session.
To add yourself and be in the picture is absolutely FREE, so don't miss out on this opportunity.
Once the picture has been taken there is no way of changing your mind about buying one with you in it (unless of course you're really good with photoshop).

I would if it weren't at the same time as the draggin dragons event. I had already committed to that by the time the event planner went up.
