This is one of the largest and best British car shows of the year. I will probably be there but most likely in my classic Mini.

me too, but i'll most likely be driving my 73 mgb. it is a great show with plenty of brit cars. looks like it's going to be a nice drive to bonsall this weekend.

 

There is a caravan of Minis coming from Fountain Valley. A few South OC people and I might meet up with them somewhere along the route if you want to join us. I will know more towards the end of the week so email me if interested. inim_mini@yahoo.com

 

We're coming - Woo Hooo! But in our 58 MGA.... We'll stop by and see all the MINI peeps though..:smile:

Chow! (and yes - I know the correct spelling)

Jim! Where have you been love? And yes - you've missed a few posts - LOL!!! "Ariel" arrived Wednesday via enclosed carrier from Virginia - Yippee!!

And.......we decided to enter her in the event today along with the MGA. And guess what - the MINI took 1st Place in the New MINI class - :smile: :smile: And the MGA took 2nd in that class!! Wowza.......both total surprises...!!! A great car day for us - LOL!!

Chow!

Donna

 

Wow, that's great! Unfortunately I had to miss the show today because I am a few weeks behind on my studies and have mid terms coming up very soon. Please post some photos so I can kick myself for not going!

 

YAY!!! Ariel won!! And the MGA (I don't know its name), won a prize, too! I agree with Rick: I hope you took lots of pix!!

:smile: :smile: :smile: I'll post some pixs tomorrow evening when I'm not so pooped. It was really a fun day. LOTS and LOTS of GORGEOUS cars! Wow - I could have spend a million bucks - LOL!!! Rick - we were keeping an eye out for you hoping to finally meet ya....sorry you couldn't make it.

On the honesty side of things, the New MINI still wasn't received all that well by most of the Classic Mini owners. There were a few that we tried to mingle with and a few that did come over to genuinely chat and were very nice. But all in all, there was quite a separation from the time we arrived.... So......whatever........we had a great time anyway!

Chow!

Oh Jim - I do hope Steve is having a speedy recovery. I'm sure life has been difficult and busy for both of you.... Please give him our best...:smile:

Jobs are going well.....Mike is on a roll with the photography freelance and I love the Convention Center....sure makes life a bit easier..
