Monterey Herald had this to say:

LINE 'EM UP, MOVE 'EM OUTThe Concours d'Elegance on Sunday might have been the grand finale of Fancy Car Week, but Monday the little cars took center stage.

GPMINI.net also - it's more "me" style on GBMINI and more "event" style on GPMINI


And this was about the coolest thing I have ever seen





Well done Sandia MINI!

I took some pictures hanging out at the car wash and top off location in Dallas. I was standing there talking to Ian and didn't even realize it (actually, I talked to a lot of folks I didn't know). Too bad it was 600 degrees outside. Wish I could have done some legs with you guys. Pics are in our local forum: http://www.metroplexmini.org/gallery....php?album=268

Sorry, posted this out of order. For those looking for wristbands, just show up, they will give you a wristband, they have LOTS of extras.

Thanx for the tip. I guess if I get a wristband I will have no excuse why I can't drive from Indy to NJ .

I would definitely recommend doing as much of the trip as you are able. One leg is NOT enough. I recommend planning on this, as if you do one leg, you'll be willing to break both personal and business commitments to do another, so you may as well just plan for more from the get go. I came home almost a week ago and I still have the shakes from the withdrawls.

Well I am on sabbatical for the next few weeks, so I am thinking that if I have the time, I should make the drive. Just wish I had planned better so I could have started in CA.

So is there going to be an unofficial drive back?
