Many many MINIs (I counted 70) on a nice drive, borrowing free parking at Epcot! Now updated with panorama-stitched picture, higher resolution (and the original less impressive iPhone picture!):
When we arrived, first task was to make GPMINI a little cleaner (after sorting the flat battery issue!) … it’s nice to have MY car down here instead of a rental (although the Chevy HHR we used to get from the airport is reasonable):
Then it was time to join the MANY other MINIs (more than 150), pick up my registration pack, and meet a few friends from previous events, including David & Erica, Stephanie, and of course James, Pedro, Alex and Barry (who create this excellent event!):
In the evening, Margaret joined me for the big dinner event at the hotel – and like last year there was great food and excellent entertainment, including a super slideshow of last years event created by MINIbee 🙂
Got here ok, beating the storm back home. First problem – flat battery! But rolling it backwards down the driveway made for an easy “jump” start, then 20 miles to charge it.
After that a quick wash, a quick jump in the pool to cool off, then over to Embassy Suites to meet many other MINIs and owners (including Stephanie and David & Erica).
A few iPhone snaps to keep you interested …
