Todays MINI of Peabody Spring Rally went well and escaped with minimal poor weather – although the threat apparently kept 1/3 of the sign-ups away! The rest of us had great fun though. The route took MINIs north through Topsfield then east through Ipswich and out to the Atlantic coast, and back, collecting playing cards on the way (click here for the route out and the route back). Unfortunately with no navigator, and being the lead MINI for much of the drive, I only took a few “on route” pictures …
Back at MINI of Peabody, new Sales Manager Paul Taylor greeted returning MINIs and handed out the final playing card to each one; there was also food (with a long but fast moving queue, and excellent catering)
Finally it was prize time – a special prize for Debbie Rose (her birthday brand new MINI was undelayed too late to be delivered today) and everyone else got a prize too. Astonishingly (and not rigged in any way), I came back with a king high full-house which happened to be the winning hand! My prize of a(nother) Spa Detailing of GBMINI will be much appreciated!
Many thanks from me to everyone at MINI of Peabody that put this event on – almost all their staff were in and helping the event run smoothly (which it did), and well done Paul for putting together such a great “welcome” event from you to the MINI community 🙂
