Another excellent MINI of Peabody driving event – once again, NOT spoiled by wet weather (it’s just as much fun, even if the scenery is a little damp!)
The wet weather encouraged everyone to wait inside the dealership this morning, while their MINIs waited outside; Paul welcomed everyone and explained the rules: follow the route, collect cards at each stop, try to get a winning hand and try not to get lost!
The route took us up to the Merrimac river, past spectacular scenery and incredible houses – but wet, wet, wet so no pictures … and just a couple of wrong turns 🙂 so GPMINI was one of the first cars back.
Hrach waved everyone back to the dealership (where people received their final card – we ended up with not even a pair!)
Back indoors, we had music from local radio station Mike FM, trinkets from Today’s Collision, and food (burgers and dogs, as always); there were also prizes, with the top prize (of a MINI fridge) going to Joe who somehow collected FIVE ACES in his hand!
Many thanks to MINI of Peabody and all their staff for another great MINI adventure, and to Margaret for being my perfect navigator!
Sorry to have missed this event! We had a last-minute plan change and could not have made it back home in time.
So, how much did Joe have to bribe the spotters for the aces?

even with the weather looks like another great event by the folks at Peabody. GP still stands out quite nicely in a crowd.
