MINI of Peabody 2009 Spring Rally

Another year, more rain – time for the MINI of Peabody Spring Poker Rally; rather than drive my Q5, Brig kindly loaned me a pre-owned MCSc – although with lots of rain, I kept the roof closed!
Lots of MINIs arrived (about 40 in total), and we gathered together to listen to Joel’s driver speech, and check out the route; and then we’re off, waved by Hrach:

 

On the road, we started with heavy rain, but things improved as time went by. On the route, we had three “poker pit-stops” to get a card (and two more cards on arrival back at the dealership); It even got dry enough to drop the top!
The route was pretty up in New Hampshire, especially along the coast along Ocean Boulevard:

 

Once back at the dealership, we also had a chance to look over a nice 1970 Mini Innocenti, from Italy as recently as 2002 (and previously owned by much-missed Dan McDonald):


Many thanks to MINI of Peabody and their staff, for creating another great day 🙂

MINIsOnTop sponsorship from MINI of Peabody

Once again we are happy to announce that MINI of Peabody will be supporting MINIsOnTop this summer – this year, the dealership has stepped forward to streamline Saturday morning by sponsoring BREAKFAST at the Attitash Grand Summit hotel!

This means that MINIsOnTop attendees can get up Saturday morning from their luxurious Attitash Grand Summit room 🙂 and head down to a “banquet” with everyone else, then head over to Loon to join in the Saturday morning festitivites.

Here is the planned menu for Saturday morning:
Chilled Orange and Cranberry Juice
Freshly Baked Breakfast Favorites with Sweet Butter and Fruit Preserves
Country Fresh Scrambled Eggs
Breakfast Potatoes
Cinnamon French Toast with Warm New Hampshire Maple Syrup
Your choice of Country Breakfast Links or Honey Smoked Bacon
Also available, Tea & Coffee

Delicious!
