How about a convoy to the DVD release of The Italian Job?

MINImeet has been offered a unique oppportunity. Convoy from Yonge & York Mills (Jolly Miller parking lot), Toronto, south to Yonge & Adelaide where a MINI will be sitting loaded with Italian Job DVDs, and other stuff.

The date for the convoy is Tuesday October 7th. We'll need to gather around 11 a.m. or so for an arrival at Bank Intessa at 12.15 p.m.

Paramount is holding a "Guess How Much Stuff Is In The MINI Contest" and they want us to be the parade to the site where the contest will take place.

Parking at Yonge & Adelaide is being arranged for us, and we'll all get copies of the Italian Job DVD.

BONUS: The organizers of the event will try and get an aerial photo of our convoy. We'll be in the papers, AGAIN!

If you're interested let me know directly by email to robert@MINImeet.ca. Just put in the subject "I'm In The Italian Job Convoy" and I'll send all the details to you as they develop.

The organizers need 12+ MINIs to make this work. I think we can get a few more!

I'm in! Who's with me?

FYI - we've uploaded both the Whig Standard and Watertown Daily Times front page coverage of our Sept. 13/14 MINImeet to MINImeet.ca. Lot's of us were quoted. See your name in print!

 

That's a really, really cool idea. Hope you get enough people together to make it happen. Wish I wasn't, you know, hundreds of miles away in another country and all...

 

It only took 4 hours for the first 9 MINIs to get in on the action.
MINIs sure like to Convoy!

 

I'm in...as long as i can sneak out of work...

 

24 hours after announcing the Italian Job Convoy in Toronto, and we have 18 MINIs and counting...!

BONUS: As you know, if you're on this convoy you will receive a copy of the Italian Job DVD. What you didn't know is that not only do you get the new version of the movie, but, guess what? The studio is re-releasing the original Michael Caine version the same day. We get both!

Now who's with me???

 

Wait! It keeps getting better!

Our DVD Convoy will have a police escort for our 20+ MINIs, and there's helicopter TV coverage of the convoy from Global TV..

We'll each have an Italian Job vinyl logo thing for the roofs of our MINIs. That's for the TV coverage.

I wonder what's next?

 

32 MINIs and their occupants have registered for the DVD Convoy! Man, Toronto-area MINIs love to get together!

Good thing their owners are so accomodating!

 

DRATS!!! I will be in Toronto in October. I won't arrive until the 19th though. I will be staying until the 27th. Anyone want to give some advice on what to visit? I'll be staying at the Marriott Eaton Centre.

Thanks
