MOT’11 arrival

Posted on by Ian C.

Margaret and I took about four hours driving up today along the non-highway route 16, via the new Farm restaurant in Dover, NH. Pretty good time, since lunch was an hour …
But now we are back at the Attitash waiting slightly impatiently for more MINIs to arrive (there’s a few here, including Ivan and Cathryn, MINI-less, and Tonine from MINI USA); meanwhile GPMINI is dirty from all the rain on the way up, but settled for the night now …

MINIsOnTop “royalty”

Posted on by Ian C.

At the end of last years MINIsOnTop, Margaret and I high bid on an auction to be “MINIsOnTop King and Queen” at this years event! As part of that bid, all our MOT2011 registration was delivered last week by Sarah & Brian – and so we are all set to head north tomorrow; and since we are “royalty”, we have some crowns too 🙂

(thanks, Joanne!)

Finally, befitting royalty, I have some fancy new shirts in addition to the nice white and turquoise(?) MOT shirts, Robert / TwistyBitz perfectly timed todays delivery of oh-so-comfortable “racewear” shirts …

So if you see us “crowned” at MINIsOnTop this weekend, be sure to offer appropriate reverence 😉
