International Mini Cooper Day?

Here's another excuse to celebrate all things Mini/MINI, so get together w/ your MINI club, go out motoring, pamper your MINI with a car wash, or have that extra piece of chocolate cake!!!!

The UK celebrates National Mini Cooper Day every year on the 2nd Sunday of June and has been for the last 25 years +. Why not make it an international celebration?? This year Mini Cooper Day is June 8th!!!!!

In the UK, the Mini Cooper Register has been hosting an event for 22 years,
attracting around 2,500- 3,000 visitors and some 1,500 Classic and New MINI Coopers on the day.

Seems a great way to celebrate the heritage of our great cars and, since we are unlikely to have a National Mini Cooper Day here, we might as well join the party!!!!!

Hey this would be pretty cool! I wonder why the Mini dealerships don't advertise things like this...? Do you have any source info for the UK event? (Links, flyers, etc.)

Oh heck....I admit I plan to celebrate all weekend!!!!

This is it, Sunday is national Mini Cooper Day in the UK (First weekend in June, 22nd anniversary event at current location), so I'm celebrating International Mini Cooper Day wherever I happen to be that day. Why not???

This is the best holiday ever. My Mini would be celebrating with other Mini's but I don't know if she'll be able to make it. :(
