We are planning on going to this, which hotel is best to stay at as far as which one is in the middle of everything? For instance, what garage is the brew swap at? I assume the show is at one of the hotels? Thanks.

All the hotels are pretty close, the vintage is farthest but there is a cabriolet lift, free, that will bring you down to the village. The Autocross and group photo happen in the lot next to the vintage, there's only one parking garage, and the car show happens in the village also.

Note that the majority of MITM events take place in the Winter Park Resort "Village" (at the base of the ski area), not the town of Winter Park, which is a few miles north of the ski area. As dOr33t0s (Jeremy) said, if you stay at the Resort's MITM lodging, you'll be close to everything. Also, if you stay at Zephyr Mtn Lodge or Founders Pointe/Fraser Crossing, you can park free in their own underground parking structures, still very close to all the action. The MITM vendors will be in an open-air parking structure (on top), right next to the Winter Park Village.

If price is not a problem, then the Zephyr is the one to be at, as it right there, or if price is not REALLY a problem, there are condos that surround the parking structure that we will be using.

We are still taking registrations, come up for a few days or a day. Get your ID badge and some swag.

Support MITM and MINI5280.

We have some real fun planned.

Just wanted to post that I have been busy and sorry I haven't made it to anything in a while. Won't make this either as I have training that week. Have fun.

Good to see folks getting excited! Tank, that is not a good reason to miss MITM.

Can you swing a day trip up on Saturday, always lots of fun going on during Saturday.

If not, we will take pictures and post them.

I think Don meant to say "No, [there will be] more than 4..." (rather than "no more than 4").

In the MITM Store.

The "Activities" category.

Tommyknockers Brewery Ride, price $0.00. Is this this true?

By the way, 9 hours left until registration closes.

Tommyknockers is a no cost for the ride option, lunch is on you and your guests.

So $0.00 is true unless you spend to much on the brewskies.

Closed Registration

As noted, Registration for MITM is closed.

Rough numbers are 317 people registered for MITM.

248 Drivers/MINIs. More will come up on day trips. With cars from our Sponsors, I expect to see 275 MINIs and Minis.

Final counts and State totals will be posted after the powers that be work magic on the database from our website.

Thank you all for coming out to play in the Mountains with us at MITM.

Don

Despite my 941 mile transit to get there, I will be first in line at the Prima car wash on Thursday morning.

You can take it to the bank.

I'm totally bummed. I thought I had registered and only today did I have the presence of mind to check this site and it would appear I didn't get my registration in. Does this mean I shouldn't come? I can't believe I passed out MITM cards at AMVIV9 and didn't get registered myself! Don't know how this happened but I'm totally bummed!

Don't panic, I saw your email to the webmaster, his reply was a good reply.

Come anyway, get a room for a day or a few days, come out and ride with us. You did us a favor at AMVIV.

Sorry we cannot do a late registration, but our rides are open, enjoy your MINI friends and make some new ones. See me for a beer!

The devil is always in the details, next year you can be a registered person, this year you can come enjoy.

Don
