Just back from vacation, I had more than 10 MINIsOnTop “yellow hat” volunteers arrive at my office yesterday to pack the 250 registrations ready for mailing … Every package has a pile of tourist information (including discount coupons at the North Conway outlet shops), loads of route instructions and MINIsOnTop event info, a freebie antenna ball, auto road and food passes (if purchased), Tshirts/Hats/Grille badges/Clings (again, if purchased), door prize tickets … the helpers set up a “production assembly line” and incredibly completed the job in only a couple of hours!
Also seen for the first time yesterday was model MINIs customized with the MOT logo (these will be available to kids at the event), and the custom painted pink model MINI signed by Penn & Teller (they own a pink MINI so this one is a trbute to that, and signed by them – the model was donated by Michael, and disassembled, painted and rebuilt by Julian at Sublime Restorations – one of his donations to MINIsOnTop!)
The pink MINI will be a door prize at MINIsOnTop, available to some lucky winner!
After all the MINIsOnTop packing efforts, I arranged a surprise visit to a friends classic car body shop (Scuderia Donati), where some rare classic cars were in various stages of repair (my previous visits have been written up as Supercars and Ferrari):
