How many MINIs fit on a Ferry Video!

Here is a fun video of MINIs on a Ferry World Record Run held just this past Sunday in Southeastern Virginia area. Members of Hampton Roads Club MINI (Williamsburg, Hampton, Newport News, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Virginia Beach et al) and River City MINIs (Richmond) as well from Northeastern North Carolina participated. We were trying to set a Guinness World record for MINIs on a Ferry and make a nice donation the Childrens Hospital of the Kings Daughter of Norfolk in the process. There were 77 MINIs/Minis all together and we had fun even though the weather was pretty fierce. Thanks to Fool68 for the great video.

I'd be surprised if it made it out to California, the paper in Richmond didn't even have anything on it!
