My business partner and I go every year. Some car dealerships will give you free tickets for the asking.

You think some MINI dealers might provide these coupons?

Too bad we couldn't organize some sort of NAM Night at the Show- maybe get as much of the SoCal MINI community there on the same night as possible.

How about tomorrow night? (Who cares about a little rain. )

Ahhh, once you've run thru a few puddles, what's a few more?
We're trying for being there first thing Sunday morn. Can't go on Saturday night, the Chargers are playing!!

I went myself just to see what my MCS Auto paddle shifters are going to look like (I have a February build date). For those interested:

I went last night, even parked next to a CR/W MCS (with SCMM sticker).

What I thought was most interesting was the MINI with the deployed airbag.


Here are a few more pics . . .

Made it!

Tried to drive to the show on Monday but had to turn around due to the 101 closure (arghhhh!). So I had to fly to LAX on Wednesday, got on the subway, and an hour later there I was !!!
I should have had free entrance for effort!
I liked the passenger's handle and the driver's side viser on the '05. Just can't stand that new HUGE cup holder though...but that's just me.

Hope everybody had a chance to go!
