MINIs on Top rev.6

Yup - It's that time of year to start planning a MINI migration to the White Mountains of New Hampshire for 6th annual MINIs on Top. This year the premier MINI event in the Northeast has been moved to June 28th making top down motoring easier! It is a day of meeting with fellow MINIacs touring the twisties, winning prizes and eating BBQ culminating in a sunset drive to the top of the tallest peak in the Northeast -Mt Washington (also home to the world's worst weather). If you want to make a weekend of it there is plenty to do in the area not to mention feeder events like YC, Boston & A51 Caravans or post MoT head over to Bethel Maine for MINI meet East.

Check out past events and plan a MINI good time at www.minisontop.com

Wow! I am so psyched...

Registration will be coming up soon so subscribe to the MoT email list for the latest updates! www.minisontop.com
Hopefully the weather cooperates with your new cabrio, jrlpking!
And Brewmeister, you have chosen a good color for your MINI in that (shhh - don't tell anybody) it will be this year's MoT color to be used on window clings, tees and car badges. Both of you might want to check out the Yankee Candle meet up and I know there is a caravan coming from the upstate NY.

Already registered (hopefully only once. Registration form didn't play well with my Firefox setup). Already reserve a hotel room. That leaves plenty of time to pay off the weather gods...

The subscription page has had some issues - but the good news is the info does go through! Our crack staff (or is that staff on crack???) is working on it.
Just remember its name then email in those blank spaces...

Hey Brewmeister, I think I saw your car when I was down in Endicott for Thanksgiving.

Matching window clings, tees and car badges...AWESOME

Not on 2/8, but right color and everything. Sorry, not me. Was at the Econo Lodge though for Thanksgiving.

That was your car that I saw around Thanksgiving. I had originally posted that on our site at that time and just cut & pasted my post. Sorry for the confusion.

This will be my first MOT too. Brewmeister & I will be going up together on Friday, with the Yankee Candle/Area 51 caravans. We'll look for you at MOT .

Sounds good. Not sure if I will be staying up there or just coming home at night. I live about an hour south of the mountain.

I might be down your way in the middle of March for my grandmothers birthday so you may see my car around there again. It will either be there or at Lupos getting some speedies.

You beat me to it, Ian!
There is some cool new stuff planned for this year (including the first ever MOT ladies tee!) as well as a return of favs from past MOTs, so if you been to MOT before remember nobody has been to MOT'08!

On another note:
New Hampshire will be the big charity winner this year! Two, yup - count 'em, two charities will benefit from the generosity of fellow MOTers (and families). The main beneficiary will be Make-A-Wish Foundation® of New Hampshire and to that the charity committee added a brilliant thought. What is at the end of the MOT rainbow (windstorm / fog bank/ driving rain)? The Mt Washington Observatory! An all to fitting 6.288% will be lopped off the top for MWO each year in on going support from MOT and the remainder, this year, will go to MAW NH.
Bonus trivia points if you know how Richard and crew arrived at that percentage!

And speaking of charity...
Applause to Herb Chambers MINI of Boston for stepping up yet again with an awesome lease -
A 2008 Clubman!
Lightning Blue w/ silver roof and stripes, winter package, piano black - pacific blue interior, multifunction steering wheel, and panoramic sun roof! This car is valued @ $23,450 which is even more than last year's generous offer but the raffle tickets remain the same - $25 each with a maximum of 250.
MOT holds the line against inflation
