If I was close I would definitely be going. When I lived near NY I would always go to the NY Auto Show.

We'll be going to the Portland Auto Show next Weekend, yes I know it's not the same, still fun and I love reminiscing about how we decided to buy a MINI!! Can't wait to see the MINI Paceman too!!

I drove up there yesterday from Columbus. I didn't have alot of exotics which surprised me. Then I really only went to see the Paceman which I'm about to place an order for.


It's kind of funny because a, I wanted to see the paceman in person, being 6'6" I wanted to see how much I would miss the extra .9 inches of headroom that the countryman had. I also was hoping they would have a starlight blue or blazing red... Ha! they featured the JCW at the show. They just had the JCW and a brilliant bronze... Oh well.

I did go away knowing I still wanted a Paceman.

If I was closer then Id go... but the 6+ hr drive just isnt worth it. Now the Chicago Auto Show I usually go to.

Yup, this or Milwaukee (rather do Chicago) for me. But some year I'd love to hit the Detroit show.
