I'm definitely planning on it this year, after missing last year's Splash. Looking forward to seeing some old friends and meeting some who I've only known cyberly.

Here are some links to see what it was like last year, in pictures, and to read some articles:

http://www.gbmini.net/wp/2007/08/summer_splash_2007/

read the article, scroll all the way down to see links to other articles, and more pictures from different people.

You like to have fun with your MINI and like to meet other MINI owners, look at different MINIs? You like food?

Come to the Summer Splash 08 - you'll like it!

There will be surprises this year! I know it's a busy year in the North East for MINI events, but try to make this one!

We have about 35 cars pre-paid now, not counting the worker bees, so we should be on par with last year, when we had 100+ MINIs show up!

We just got another sponsor for this event - our only local sponsor -

Post Corner Pizza, in Darien, CT.

They'll bring some pizzas and veggie salad to us around 1:00 pm. Be there if you want some, cause it'll go Fast!!!!!!!

FYI - no membership in any "club" or forum is required - this is a MINI Motoring Meet for all MINI owners and friends!!!!!!!! MINI not required, either.

Fantastic time was had by all! Many thanks to Mister Peter Braun, his lovely wife and the MoFC crew, other MINI folks (you know who you are!), the sponsors and everyone else whose hard work and "can do" spirit made this best event come true - neither rain, nor trees across the Merrit Parkway, nor missing boxes could keep us from our Summer Splash.

For more comments and photos see: http://nemini.org/index.php?topic=10748.380 post game wrap up starts with zzMini's post about 1/2 way down.
