After leaving Anthonys Pier 4, we followed a slow, traffic light and pothole filled route that must have been designed to lose as many MINIs as possible! I was near the front of the group, and soon we were a group of less than 10 MINIs – but still, it was fun 🙂
When we arrived at the Man At Wheel statue in Gloucester, there was no parking for 200 MINIs (too many tourists!), so we blocked the roads for a while …
This morning, I headed early in to Boston to go to “Pier 4” … well, it turns out that I should have gone to Anthonys Pier 4, and not the Pier 4 that Google Maps knows! So after a few un-necessary trips back and forth through various Boston tunnels, and a helpful phone call from George, I arrived at the correct place and joined MANY other MINIs – I counted over TWO HUNDRED before we headed off for the rally!
Eventually, off to the cars, to be waved off by Rauno and escorted through Boston by city police – 200 MINIs head north east along pothole and traffic light ridden roads (I wonder if more than half made it to the end!):
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!
