MINI United

'The 2nd MINI United in South Korea' was held on the parking place of 'The Misary Regatta Canoe Course' on 11th of November, 2006.

'MINI United' will run continuously every year after the last year, and continue making the sky shots of various designs.

The first picture was their goal, and they have achieved this great work. (lower photo)

In South Korea, every MINI has the sun-roofs. People have no choices.

However, I love my MINI's sun-roof.

I can understand that you think so.
Butttt,,,,,,,,,,, it is true.
If MINI owners increases in number more and more in this country, many choices may be permitted.
We wait for the day.

In addition to the set up for the overhead photos there was also a driving competition. There was a course set up in another parking lot with cones. We got one practice run then a run for time. The best part of this was that we got to drive brand new 2006 Cabrios. We definately put them thru their paces and laid a lot of rubber on the pavement. The winner was awarded a JCW CF wing. Unfortunately I did the course in 47 seconds. The winner did it in 45.5 seconds I believe. (If I could have had another run...hahahah). There was also a big tent set up to keep warm and eat some great winter time korean food and some american food too. All of this was free.

MINI Korea goes all out for free events such as this. They also sponsored some great events over the past year. Trip to Jeju island, track days, scaveneger hunt, etc. I cannot wait to see what they have planned for next year.

MINI Mania is catching on here in Korea. Look for more postings and pics as events happen.

I wonder what symbol they will make in the next year's MINI United.

Do you have a good idea?

Looks great, just a suggestion: take the photo near noon to minimize the shadows. The shadows make it hard to read what the people standing are "writing"
Have fun.
