MINI museum run 2013

Thought I might rally up the area troops, both in NJ and in Pennsylvania for a small gathering at a very special place for the spring time.

Anybody who is a fan of vintage cars will certainly enjoy this event. I'm looking to have a meeting at the very Prestigious Simeone Foundation Museum, right in Philly. Dr. Simeone has amased quite a collection you may not find anywhere else in the North East. This meet will take place on the last Saturday of the month, either March or April for a special reason. Dr. Someone takes two of the museum cars and runs them behind the place oin a parking lot!!! (Weather permitting)

The museum is open Saturday between 10:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M. Tickets to get in cost $12.00, but is well worth what you get to see. Bring the young ones so they can learn about the cars of yesterday, so they may pave the way for the future of the automobile!!

Here's the address the the web site: http://simeonemuseum.org/

So who's interested?

Last time I was there was 2009, my friend was in love with the Alfa Romeo 8C Competioneze that just came out. It wasn't due to be in the U.S. till later in the year. I happen to lean against a curtain,I turn around, and bam, there was a metallic red 8C!!! i I took a couple quick shots before getting caught lol. The materials to build the facility aren't as top quality compared to the Collier Collection, but none the less, the cars are what it's all about.

You might want to create a new thread with all the event details on the first post so people know the specific details when you have them. (Time, not just date, etc.)

Is this simply a meet? Or a drive to the museum? Anyone meeting around Morristown?

I got pm's alerting me of the multi-groups heading there. Worst case here is I'm just giving information of something containing minis and classic cars at the same spot, same day, same time
