Thanks to Mini of Peabody for "Octoberfast" - what a blast!

Now I have seen everything... a Red Bull Mini (the one's with the giant can on the back) running an autocross course.

Thanks to all that helped, and all that came and had fun. The Boston BMWCCA, Joe Marko, Steve Hazard, the dealership team, and many others made for a great day of fun while code-dodgeing.

We had perfect weather, and a surprisingly good course for a "non-competition event".

Cheers,

Charlie

That was a lot of fun. I haven't AX'd in years, since my youngest was born anyway. MINI of Peabody sell exceeded my expectations for this event. Once I get Moneypenny broken in a bit I'll be more apt to put my foot down more. Even still, I was surprised at just how well I did while "taking it very easy". I did though forget to go back in to buy one of the die cast cars. Maybe I'll get one the next time I'm at the dealer.

There were some wide-eyed young'uns shown around the course I noticed...

Sadly missed it this year ... down in Florida.

Don't see any threads on MINI2, there's a thread on MMC but no pics for now at least ...

Those were mine. The first cars my youngest was able to recognize on the street was the MINI and the Viper.
