British Invasion 2007

British Invasion 2007 returned to the “old field” this year, and so returned to the ludicrous mud field conditions that we suffered in 2005; I realize the field doesn’t actually create the weather, but it’s still not fun when the field looks like this as you arrive on Saturday morning:

Maybe an asphalt parking lot would be better! At least a clean GPMINI wouldn’t get turned into an off-roader:

Anyway, even in the wet & mud, it was a fun day due to having Margaret, lots of MINIs and lots of MINI friends 🙂

 

 

Five MINIs on Jason’s drive (with him leading in his brand new ’07) – we even were joined by a Red Bull MINI for a short time:

 

Better weather on Sunday:

(previous years: 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002)

Jason gets an ’07 MCS

MINI friend Jason has owned an early build VR MC since 2002 – he has more than 110,000 miles on that car and tracks it regularly. Unfortunately he recently tracked it just a little bit too hard and it suffered, leaving it currently un-driveable.
Since it was his daily driver too, Jason urgently needed a new car and thankfully stayed in the MINI family, buying this ’07 MCS ex-demo car from MINI of Peabody:

 

Congratulations, Jason!
