MINI Meets

Before heading over to F1 Boston for the MTTS’08 Boston Friday evening events, a group of us got together at Rock Bottom for dinner (which was great, except for the 45 minute wait for checks!)

Eventually (luckily missing a seriously heavy rain storm!) we headed over to F1 Boston – loads of MINI folks were there already, both owners and “important people” … like Rauno Aaltonen, and Todd and DB of White Roof Radio. The F1 Boston location was excellent, with space to chat, drink at the bar, eat snacks, drive go-karts, or simply spectate:

 

Well done MINI USA and R.A.Events for picking a great location and laying on an excellent event … I couldn’t believe when it was 11pm already and I had to leave!

Back from a day and two evenings in Boston for MTTS’08, with 350 pictures to sift through – I’ve decided to sort & post multiple times as I work through them … so although it’s Saturday night, this happened on Friday evening (hence the datestamp!)

I left work early, fearing traffic in Boston, and headed down towards F1 Boston, the Friday evening event headquarters … predictably I hit traffic as I reached Boston (taking 1-3/4 hrs to do 35 miles); traffic heading north was stopped too – and I spotted the MTTS “truck” for a moment:

When I arrived at F1 Boston, by pure chance I met Mark (SPDinNY) bringing Quack Quack Jack, so QQJ spent today at MTTS too – and met Jim McDowell (and his daughter), among others:

Also, see this post where QQJ meets Rauno!
