Reason...

I love my MINI for three reasons:

1. I love to drive.

I don't care where the event is as long as it is fun. I went to Mini Takes The States 08 one weekend in Boston and then to Minis On Top 08 in Gorham NH and then a parade to help another MINI owner. That was fun!

2. If I was worried about the gas prices...why would I buy a MINI?

People are now aware how economical the MINI is vice the performance it has. Why do you think that it's getting harder to buy brand new MINI now?
3. I love meeting great friends.

You meet the best friends' at MINI Events. Before I bought my MINI, I would rarely go anywhere. I come from a Military background that limit his social friends to only military people around him. Wow! You not only meet people that love their MINIs, they also love people and care.

Greetings,

I'm going to summer splash, and it would be cool to go up together. I'm taking Parkway North to I-287 across the Tappen Zee to exit 9 for Merritt Parkway.

We could meet on Route 3 West somewhere and then hit the Parkway, or we could meet at the Parkway's rest stop in Bergen County.

However you'd like to play it is cool with me. Summer Splash is about 1-1/4 hours away from Bloomfield, according to Google map.
