MINI Peabody rally

Posted on by Ian C.

What a great day we had today … went to the MINI Peabody Rally; over 40 MINIs met up this morning, got slightly suspect rally directions, and cruised round the area for a couple of hours through some very pretty scenery (sorry no pics of the drive – too busy driving!)

After a few unplanned detours, everyone headed back to the dealership for free food & drinks, and discounted merchandise. Martin (the Manager) handed out some excellent trophies to the three “closest to correct drive time” MINI owners.

Many thanks to Keith for planning the route, and Martin and everyone else at MINI Peabody for organising the event.

Went to the NEMO organized preview showing of the new Italian Job tonight, in Braintree – surprisingly not so far away as I expected (only 45 minutes driving back, with a little “Italian Job” style)!
What a lot of MINIs and Minis … and a great film too; some nice tributes to the original movie – especially the “MINIs driving down steps” and “MINIs driving through the pipe” sequences.
Good to see everyone from previous meets … Jay, Jason, Chris, Gavin … and so many other people.

GOMINI (Steve) meets GBMINI (Ian)

Drove to MINI Peabody today to get their opinions on the Union Jack, and met Steve (CapeCodMini on MINI2) who was having some car work done. After getting both our cars washed, we took some pictures:

GOMINI and GBMINI

As for the flag … I love the look of it FROM A DISTANCE. But the installation needs to be better. I have heard from Jeff (who proposes painting a flag – expensive) but I have not yet heard from the flag supplier (although they have been in contact with Jeff).
