Dang. Festivals of Speed over here in the orlando area barely let me bring my 2016 Viper! Kinda snobby here I guess.
Nice looking mini...invest in a front clip repaint tho!

Car show that I attended at Watkins Glen International. It is during the Vintage Grand Prix in September.
I go with my John Cooper Works World Championship 50. Very high end show
I was actually at this show and saw your car! it was what reminded me that I REALLY needed to buy a MINI...Thanks! I was there with my older little car, a 1987 Pontiac Fiero GT. Not nearly as fast as my new F55, but still fun to drive!

nice. Was this for me or the the other mini post ?
Please be there early as the lots fill up fast! This is the largest car show in Ohio for Foreign Cars!!
I wanted to make sure to let everyone know how the parking situation will be set up for Saturday.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be courteous of the businesses that are allowing us to use their space as overflow for the event. Also, keep in mind that most of them are under 24/7 surveillance so if you do anything stupid you will likely get caught.
Here is a map of the layout. All areas highlighted in red are NON PARKING areas and you will be towed if you park there.
All yellow highlighted areas are ECS parking and Overflow parking.
ECS Yellow is the main parking until it overflows.
Here's mine at a couple of recent shows up here in the Northeast. First pic taken last Saturday in a small town called Lenox, MA, home to Tanglewood and the summer home of the Boston Symphony. Second photo taken at Hemnmings drive in, Bennington, VT. The Rolls and the VW were owned by the neatest couple!
