The route will NOT involve driving in Manhanttan. Also parking at the Liberty State Park is very big and safe.

At the moment, we heard from HRMINIs, DC Metro MINIs, C3M (Central MD MINI Motorists), PhiliMINIs, NEMINI, USMINIclub and some others that they'd be interested to join the fun.

We got our tickets... GP1695 & Badappl will be there.
We will be bringing MINI Cookies and stuff. We are going to have breakfast in Fort Lee NJ and then were thinking of meeting up with our fellow miniacs at the Grover Cleavland Rest Stop. Anyone want to join us let just me know.

 

Can't make this. I'm going to the Monticello Racetrack to beat the snot out of Cadillac CTS-V's in a very limited admission "ride and drive" event on 8/22...

 

Got the ticket. See you all.

Long shot but anyway. The location is great for an aerial photography. Does anybody owns a helicopter or has a helo-driver connection in the area willing to take a picture of our MINIs? Just a thought I would gladly pay for an aerial photo.

 

Sounds great !!!

 

Im in, will be meeting up with you guys at the Grover Cleaveland rest area

 

It was a blast. Even with the Hurricane Man when that wind & rain kicked up we couldn't run fast enough. Sorry I have not been on to post my pics but I was down by Solomons MD without internet this week. Here is a quick peek with more to come...
