(sounds like a Roobarb cartoon!)
I took this picture last weekend, from Pat & Daves house looking to our house, when there was snow all around (but with temperatures in the 50s and heavy rain recently, there is no snow today!)
After cleaning GBMINI I headed south to meet up to 20 other MINIs at the services on I95/128 just south of I90:
From there we took a very circuitous route first south, then north, then south again, back past where we began, before finally heading properly south towards IKEA!
We did successfully arrive at IKEA and after admiring their IKEA zipcar MINI we headed into the store to do some shopping!
After IKEA we headed to Smokey Bones restaurant for lunch, where they coped admirably with being invaded by 20-30 MINI folk!
We ended the day with some of us heading back north through Boston and the Big Dig tunnels, sadly too busy with traffic to be as much fun as the run back in 2004
It was a great day to see MINI folks, chat, shop, eat, drive and just have fun! Thanks to everyone that came 🙂
See this entry on Gizmodo:
“Hyper rescue robot “T-52 Enryu” (rescue dragon) from Tmsuk first appeared in March 2004 but now he’s wandering the highways and byways saving stranded motorists”
Sadly if you check back through the old Men Of Metal links, you find that the original website no longer exists, perhaps due to MINI USA changing advertising companies recently.
However the Wayback Machine still knows all 🙂
