Check out the site for more information www.PittStopMini.Org !!! Should be a good time...

 

Certainly WAS a good time! Who got a final count? Did we reach 80 MINIs? It had to be close. That's nearly as many as in 2004 when MINI was the Marque of the Year! All I can say is WOW.

...and thanks again to all the folks who helped out and volunteered throughout the day. We could never have accomplished everything without your help!

 

Hey, Pittsburgh! Thanks for hosting. It was great to see so many minis. Here's us in my car (I'm the dorky one in the sunglasses)

 

Had I a known...I definitely would have shown up. Sounds like everyone had a great time.

There's always next year...

 

More details will be posted on www.PittStopMini.Org once we have them... we had 77+ Minis on a parade through downtown Pittsburgh this past Saturday July 14th, and 85+ at Schenley Park!! The conga line "motoringcade" ran nonstop behind the Allegheny County Sheriff's Mini (black-and-white with a sheriff's light bar and everything) and 3 motorcycles! We continued uninterrupted (and nonstop!) through downtown Pittsburgh to the PVGP, where we all met for fun, games, food, prizes, and watching the PVGP! We even had great representation from the Philly folks...




What a great time. I know the Regional Forums talk about this all the time, and this isn't quite the size of the Dragon, but when you get to be part of an 80-Mini parade, police-escorted, through a fairly major city, well, that feels good!

The Mini car show was well attended at 85+, including this one that had us all salivating:


Watching these guys roar past, well, that was gravy:




Just thought I'd share... We've got a bunch o' stuff going on monthly, with several car cruises (one on a ferry named Fred...), our traditional Fall Foliage drive, and a larger, even more over-the-top performance-and-social event (with a Live Band!) coming in late October, stay tuned...
