What we did for MINI's 50th Birthday (videos)

On August 22nd, our local club organized a huge run that ended at an open field, at which point we created the MINI logo (with wings!) with our MINI's. We then had a plane fly over and take pictures. 88 MINIs and Minis participated in the run, police escort and all. We picked up a few strays along the way, and had 92 cars present in the MINI logo. As part of this run, we also raised $1,100 for our favorite charity, the YWCA Calgary's Sherriff King Home for women escaping domestic violence.

Here is the stop motion video showing us building the logo in the field.

Enjoy!

Lol..that was great although I felt a little dirty watching that vid since the music reminded me of sneaking around to watch Benny Hill at midnight when I was younger.

I registered for a 50th birthday magazine and they sent me the coolest paper clip in the world.

That video is pretty cool. At times the MINIs seem to keep coming from out of nowhere in the distance.
