The 23rd annual St. Louis European Auto Show is gearing up!

We have about one month before the show and our 200 spots are filling up quickly. And the trophies this year are uber-cool. Direct from the UK and quite unique!

The show will be held on Sunday, June 13, 2010 at Plaza Frontenac. All of the money we collect from car owners (like you), sponsors, vendors and our silent auction is donated to the St. Louis Shriners Hospital for Children. The Shriners Hospital provides orthopedic and burn care to children under 18, at no cost to the patient. We couldn't do it without you.

See you there!

 

I'm signed up. See you all there.

 

Woohoo!

 

There is still the problem of getting the car clean. That has been a challenge lately.

 

I got my confirmation back a couple of days ago. I'll be there

 

See you guys out there!

 

I've got an application that will be in the mail on tuesday. I'm not sure if I want to get confirmation, 'cus that means two weeks of hard detailing work! Well, either way, it should be fun!

 

I'm mailing mine today, as is a buddy that lives up in Springfield, IL. Mine will be as clean as I can get it, but I'm far from a detailing expert. If nothing else, it should serve to make everyone else's look better!

 

Wouldn't miss it!

 

Anyone interested in a 9:30 AM meetup on the hotel back parking lot, so we can drive into the checkin altogether?

 

the Van & I will be there

 

Dean, don't you think that the most important thing is to get there early, and "stake our turf" to make sure we can all park together.
Look forward to seeing you on the 13th.

 

Doug, I haven't been to this show before, but do they not organize it in such a way that all cars from a given marque are together?

 

They attempt to get Marques together, but as the event fills up, if you get there late, sometimes they run out of space. This usually happends if they have a lot of "drive up entries". It is a great show and how we have a maxie, Mini/MINI turnout.

 

I'm talking about arriving together on time, at 10 AM when participant setup starts officially. If we arrive by then it shouldn't be a problem. Never has been before. The cars that don't get in with their marque are the ones that show up late.

But we don't have to meetup beforehand. It's not that big a deal.

 

I'm signed up. See you there. Dan

 

So are we meeting at 9:30 or just making sure to arrive as a group at 10?

 

I guess not. Just arrive at registration starting at 10.

Right now it's not looking great for us weather wise. To be honest I won't be terribly disappointed. Cal me a spoil-sport if you like, but this weekend has a lot of motorsports going on that I prefer to watch live. The 24 Hours of Le Mans runs from Saturday morning to Sunday morning, then the Canadian GP mid-day Sunday, and and there's also WRC Rally Portugal. Bad weekend to schedule a show.

 

I'm up for meeting whenever/wherever you guys want to. If it's a few minutes before so we can all roll in together, probably so much the better.

And I agree about it being a rough weekend to schedule (in particular) a "European Auto Show", knowing that many of those owners are the same folks that would follow Le Mans, F1, etc. Oh well, thank goodness for DVRs.

 

The problem with DVRs and races is that some SOB always manages to spoil the result for me before I had a chance to watch. not to mention, I have the F1 Timing app on my iPad and it's more fun to use when watching the race live.

 

my 2010 pepper white s convertible is entered but i am bailing if it's raining. my car is a rain virgin and will stay that way for as long as i can hold out.

Thanks to all the MINI's who entered this year. It was a hot day to say the least but we survived. Can someone invent white asphalt? Dan

 

Dan, I'm with you on the white asphalt!! It was a great day, though, and congrats to Scott on his "Best of Marque" award!

 

Thanks for the support guys. It was fun hanging out as usual.

 

Yes, congrats to Scott on his award. Well done!

It was too hot. I was dyin' out there.
