Ice-cream at Howards drive-in

Margaret and I headed out today (no MINI – topless in her BMW instead!), and joined many of our MINI friends at Howards drive-in for lunch: this was a stop I missed during The Great Ice Cream Run – organizer Robyn missed it too and so drove all the way up from NJ to join us today!
Howards had burgers and excellent fries, but better still ice-cream – and the sizes were crazy! Forewarned, Margaret & I only ordered a “kiddy” size … Thom, who pulled together todays gathering, stepped up to the “small” (but he did manage to finish it!); someone should have ordered a large, just to see how big it was!

MINIs and MINI friends everywhere, including a group picture (thanks for taking it, Brian!):

Registered for MINI United!

MINI United 2007, that is!
I’m pleased to report that my registration pack has arrived, only 10 weeks late! It would appear that the German style addressing (hiding the zip code with the town, and completely omitting the state), caused quite a delivery delay …

 

Quite impressive that it ever got to me, really! Well done, USA postal service …
And thanks to Ray and all at R.A.Events and MINI USA, for ensuring that even without this registration pack, I was able to attend MINI United back in June 🙂
