This is an invitation to all who read this to come to the largest gathering of Minis in the Midwest at the 3rd annual PUB Mini meet 6/6/09. The PUB
(19304 Detroit Rd. Rocky River, Ohio 44116 440-356-6933) is an authentic British establishment with discounted food/drink for this event.

Things kick off at 9:00 AM with the parade starting at 10:00 AM. "Abbey Road" a national touring BEATLES tribute band starts at noon. There are $2000 in great prizes, custom shirts (see Burning River Minis for the design), best new and classic Mini contest,and lots of surprises.

We expect 200+ Minis so don't miss out. Last year we had cars from six different states. See National Events for the official flyer.

A couple of questions:

1. Is there a registeration form and fee, or do you just motor on up?

2.Any motel suggestions?

OK, that may be 3 questions.

Thanks.

 

No fee at all. Free to anyone.

As for Hotels/Motels. Anywhere within an hour of Cleveland is fine. The Pub is in Rocky River and hotels/motels in that area would be a bit more costly so you might want to look at the Southern or Eastern Suburbs.

For Details go to the Burning River Mini's sub forum.

 

If you have never been here before, please check out the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Mike Simon owns Lola Restraunt who is the newest Iron Chef on the Food Channel. I highly recommend you eat there if you have not done so already. Looking forward to meeting everyone. I have a 2009S

 

Michael "Symon" owns Lola, but go to Lolita, it's still old scool, see ya at the Pub!

 

I don't have a Cooper, but I am a huge enthusiast and very local. Can I come?

 

Yes, you may, bring friends and families, too. Many of us will (if you like) let you poke around inside the cars so you can see all of the options, the surprising amount of space and all of the custom mods.

I think the only thing that Greg (he's the organizer) will ask is that you use the parking lot that the MINI's aren't parked in. Last year, there was a "left over" mini van in the parking lot from the night before. It drove him nuts because it was in every picture he tried taking of all the cars lined up.

Hope to see everyone there.

Alrighty then, I'll be there, don't you worry.

 

I'm interested in coming and I live just north of the Detroit area, might pop down on that Friday night so I don't have to get up in the wee hours of the morning to trek through Ohio. I am curious how late the festivities typically go, I know it's about a 3.5-4 hour drive back to where I live so I would like to plan accordingly (and lets face it a Michigan plate in Ohio is a HUGE target for the Ohio cops, so it might take longer). This will be my first MINI even if I am able to make it, so I am excited about going!

Oh and thanks for the heads up on the motels and hotels.

 

There was a group of Michigan Mini's there last year. I believe they came out of Detroit. You might want to check with them and see if they are planning the trip this year as well. Might give you some driving partners/ (fellow targets ). I think things went on until after 4 pm last year, but I could be wrong (it could be much later)...

 

Thanks for the heads up, I'll ask around and see if I can get some running partners. I know my girlfriend is planning on heading down with me as she likes motoring outings.

 

Hello Joey D,

I was in the group of MINI's that came down from Michigan. If you are a new MINI owner you may want to check out our local MINI club. We have a lot of events scheduled - especially during summer

We are located here: http://www.michiganmini.org/forum/index.php

It is free to join Michigan MINI ...

Hope to see you there

later... joan

 

I think I might bring my F-250 V10 Crew Cab, just for some funny comparisons.

 

Hey, if it's not too high maybe about 10 of us could lift John's classic Mini into the bed...

 

Do you think it will take 10 to left his MINI?

 

It's a 4x4 with the short bed... it might just work!

 

SPREAD THE WORD!!!!!!!!!

 

If you want to extend the fun in ClevOH the PUB is having a British Car show the next day 6/7 which of course means Minis, Shaguars, Lotus. MGs ect....
