Mini’s to South Bay Mini on Saturday, July 29, 2006.

That is cool, wish I had the money for one of those.
Does this line seem contradictory to anyone else? I know what they mean but it just struck me as odd.

Yes indeed, those who didn't go totally missed out! I will post photos soon. I'm not sure if a thread has been started yet for them as I just walked in the door from the festivities over the weekend. It was definately good times and thanks to those who showed up, it's not often this kind of thing happens, it was truly an experience and the cars looked amazing!

Remember when you were a kid and you pretented your Big Wheel was the Batmobile as you tore down the sidewalks humming the theme .... Da-da-da-da--BATMAN! Or when you flew down a hillside on your little red wagon pretending you were Starsky and your best friend sitting right behind you was Hutch? When we were kids it was easy to pretend our toys were famous movie cars. Now you can relive some of your favorite movies through the creative and talented minds of the Fireball Tim team in a Mini way! ....

The cars are loaded with go fast and stop fast goodies as well as many custom touches you won't find anywhere else. And you can buy them thru South Coast MINI! And one very, very cool item. The complete amount the buyer pays above MSRP gets donated to local charities!
And the graphics are all paint by renowned customizer Larry Paul.
Shockwave under wraps
Nice family!
Voila! Pics do not do the finish justice, the sun did not cooperate either.
The Real Deal
Would you put your head here?
Business end of Shockwave
Purty Exhaust Tip
Shockwave Shoes
The Purty Rear of Shockwave (and can you say WING!)
