Lucky’s Shakedown Cruise

Posted on by Ian C.

Today was Luckys big day! Ready for the BABE Rally which begins in just a few days, Lucky, Steve, Libby & Bill invited MINI owners that had donated to Bill’s Bills (sponsoring ducks) to head down to the Cape and drive with Lucky (ending with a party & food!) … our first view of Lucky was with bubbles blowing, as it drove into the parking lot – there are ducks everywhere on Lucky – Steve estimated 470+ ducks! I took lots of close-up photos, maybe you’ll see your duck if you sponsored Lucky:

And then, it was time to drive Cape Cod! 20 MINIs, cruising highway and twisties, making their way to Provincetown:

In the evening, everyone got together again at Libby & Bills home for a great party, including food, drink, raffle prizes and a SACRIFICE! The sacrifice was of a not-very-pretty “cathead” CD rack – intended to bestow good fortune on Luckys BABE rally … but also a hilarious entertainment!

Other entertainment included a visit from Elvis, and the attachment of a severed cat head to Lucky!

An amazing day, thoroughly fun even with damp weather! Many thanks to Libby & Bill, Steve and the BABE team, and everyone who organized the event … best wishes for the BABE Rally 🙂

MINIsOnTop “Roll-To-Motor” from New Country MINI

Posted on by Ian C.

Here’s a very unique chance to win your own MINI Cooper (or $20,000 towards it), courtesy of the fine folks at New Country MINI …
New Country MINI have arranged a special event, with the chance to win a MINI Cooper with THE ROLL OF SIX DICE:
Each $5.00 (MINImum) Rosie’s Place donation ticket allows one roll of the six Roll to Motor dice. The six-sided dice have symbols on five of their facets; one facet has a letter. If, in one roll, all six dice land and spell the word “COOPER”, you win a $20,000 allowance toward the purchase of a new 2007 MINI! And, while this allowance will easily pay for a new, custom-ordered MINI Cooper, the winner can use it toward any new MINI and pay just the difference in price.
Of course, the lucky winner is responsible for the tax, title, license and insurance costs.

Donation tickets will be available at the MINIs On Top Information Tent (you must be present to win!), and only 300 donation tickets will be sold for the first place, 2007 MINI – so you’d better be quick and get your chance before they’re all gone!

As with all the other wonderful MINIsOnTop 2007 donations (the two year lease from Herb Chambers MINI of Boston, the trip to England from MINI of Peabody, and the many other donations, all funds raised will go to Rosie’s Place.
