MINI of the Hampton's threw a really nice party last night (wine, cheese, fruit, kabobs, fancy litte sandwiches), and they were gracious hosts.

They booked the entire Southampton Theatre (328 seats) and bought everyone soda and popcorn when we got there.

We thought we would park together in the lot, but no. The police held all the spots open in the street in front of the theatre (diagonal park) for MINI's only! They carefully guided us into our spots.

Some folks in their BMW 7 and Mercedes S series tried to park there, but the cops said NO! (The dealer owns Mercedes and BMW dealerships in town, so I think they invited some of their better non MINI customers?)

Eveyone screamed YAY! at the first sight of the classic Mini. I was among friends. It was awsome.

Regards,
Red

Well, I see you bought it at the right dealer! Best of luck with your new MCS. Sounds sweet.

Did they invite you?

Regards,
