You must have no idea what it is like for those of us where this car is scarce. I can't imagine that many MINIs all together! Thanks for the pics.

God speed.

Hi everyone! I have my photos of the event up, along with capsaicinmini's at http://derby.kcminiacs.org/

Take a peak

Seeing the pictures is one thing, being there first hand was a trip!! I was SO excited to see so many MINI's all at once - just imagine - a line of MINI's so long that it was over HALF A MILE LONG at one point!!
