The Treat restaurant

(in Shippensburg, PA)

Today was spent roasting in Shippensburg, temps in the low 90s and strong sun all day (probably should have got some sun-cream this morning!) … Anyway, if you’re wondering why I’m here, have a look at this, that’s Dan, not me, but we’re both working on JLG boom lift vehicles:

This evening I headed in to Shippensburg to the Treat restaurant, which as it’s name suggests, offers lots of treats – including an amazingly wonderful strawberry shake made with vanilla ice-cream and fresh strawberries 🙂 Perfect after a long day in the sun! I was met by George in his MINI, and Dave & Amber in her MINI – Dave’s own MINI was recently rear-ended and is due for “surgery” soon!

Won at MOT

This years MINIsOnTop again was supported by Herb Chambers MINI of Boston with a two year MINI Cooper lease – won by Meg & Jeff; they collected the car a few weeks ago, and now they’ve given it a unique license plate:

Thanks, Meg & Jeff, for sending the pics – and thanks Kerry & Herb Chambers MINI for providing the MINI!

MINI United 2007: Video

Posted on August 1, 2007February 13, 2017 by Ian C.

Yes I know that MINI United happened ages ago … but I did take some video, and finally got round to reviewing it, doing a quick bit of editing, converting and uploading! The video includes a pan around the MINI United / MINI USA host hotel (the Movenpick in Amsterdam), then a pan around the tent-covered area at MINI United at the Zandvoort track, followed by George & I driving the track (at not-very-fast speeds) in an R56 MINI Cooper.
Then comes a bit of driver skill training – an emergency lane change maneouvre, then learning to do a 180 degree turn (in water, to spare the tires!)
And we finish with some video of the MINI Cooper Challenge races …
