It’s becoming traditional now for me to miss this event! I missed last year, although I did get to the inaugural 2005 MAMA BBQ & Berries.
So for everyone else that missed it too, here’s links to pictures from people that did get there!

After MINIsOnTop, now comes Turkey On Top 😯
Pictures taken last weekend by my neighbour Earle – thankfully I was still asleep when this happened, and there doesn’t seem to be any roof/paint damage …
Much less concerning was the other “on top” I had recently – a dragonfly decided to perch on GPMINIs antenna; this guy is brave, and lets me approach ever closer … He eventually decides I’m a possible threat and starts turning on his “perch” to keep me in view, before flying away just after I take the final picture:
A round of deliveries today, by MINIsOnTop “yellow hats” Michael, Ivan, Richard and me … first stop was MINI of Peabody to again thank them for their support, and to present copies of three letters sent to us by Make-A-Wish, describing the three wishes we helped create for children-in-need with the more than $16,000 we raised during MOT2006:
Next stop was Herb Chambers MINI in Boston; coincidentally we arrived during the delivery of the two-year-lease MINI Cooper won by Meg & Jeff at MOT2007!
We then headed upstairs and found extremely busy Kerry, delaying her just long enough for Michael to present another set of Make-A-Wish letters:
Last delivery of the day was to Rosie’s Place, the MOT2007 charity, where we were met by Ruthie (who also took us on an interesting & informative tour of their location) – we presented the check for $14,993 raised during MOT2007 (this is in addition to $1,500 already presented, from checks collected by MINIsOnTop and written out direct to Rosie’s Place):
I’d like once again to thank everyone involved with MINIsOnTop, as organizer, sponsor or attendee, for helping to bring happiness to children in need.
(head over to MINIsOnTop to see copies of the three Make-A-Wish letters)
