Well, we've all arrived home after a few days of MINI (and Mini) madness at the 8th Annual Spring Thing Mini/MINI meet in St. Pete, FL and we thought it would be a good idea to shar our pics with everyone!

We all had a great weekend of Autocrossing, schmoozing, and partying with our fellow miniacs! There were over 100 Mini's/MINI's in attendance and the weather was perfect - in the mid-80's!

Here are some of the the pics I took this weekend. All of the pics from this weekend can be viewed in the Southeast Gallery.

I invite anyone else who was also there shooting pics to post them here as well! I hope you like 'em!

The lineup:


More MINI's:


MINI's & the St. Pete Skyline:


Holly's Dolly!:


Limey:


Nobull60 (one hell of a MINI!):


YuccaPatrol (The Alabama Flash!):


More MINI's!:


My favorite Classic:

Tony: Great camera work. 100 MINIs. That's amazing!

Sure gives us a target for Canada's and the North East U.S. Greatest MINI Meet!.

Oh, I forgot - we're limiting ourselves to only 50 MINIs. Reason? More time on the track!

Any tips you want to share with your brothers FREEZING in the dark?
