MINI Meets

Steve (“Cape Cod Mini”) was at MINI Peabody when I visited today; his car “GOMINI” (on the left in this picture from last year) was having an oil leak fixed:

Steve was also having new brake pads & rotors put on the car – now that he has the pulley, intake and nitrous system, I guess he needs to stop quicker too!

 

There was a surprising number of MINIs with personalised / vanity plates today – as well as Steves GOMINI and my GBMINI, there was CAMCOOP, PKTROKT, MINIAC and DRMWEVR. There were only two other MINIs with generic plates – suggesting that MINI owners are somewhat fanatical! Surprise?

180 miles today in GBMINI, to my second NEMO annual meeting (this one was a year ago). With the warmer, dryer, weather this year a total of 11 MINIs/Minis turned up; their owners made for a great gathering with fun discussions and lots of great food:

I also had another GBMINI cake made (like the one I had made a year ago), which was very popular:

I visited MINI Peabody today for my regular “fix” and to deliver some printed copies of the MINI2 coverage of the MINI Convertible unveiling at Geneva. I also delivered some MINIsOnTop flyers.
While there, I met a couple who both owned MINIs, called Ziggy and Snupi (the MINIs, not the people). Only Ziggy was there:

It was fun talking with you, and your husband!

There were quite a few people visiting the dealership, and I think a couple of cars were being sold and at least one was picked up while I was there.
