MINIsOnTop 2005 – tidying up

Today I drove down to Cape Cod to meet Steve and other “yellow shirt” MOTorers, to present the final check to the Kennedy Donovan Center, and to “hang out” and have fun!
After meeting at Steves home, and driving in convoy to the KDC (fighting Cape Cod traffic all the way), we arrived for the check presentation. In total, $5420 was raised and presented to the Kennedy Donovan Center today.

 

Back at Steves home, there was much “gathering”, chatting, eating & drinking. We had excellent burgers and hot dogs, great chicken too (and cheesecake!):

 

Then, there was the coconut!


THANK YOU STEVE (and Joan)!
You made three years of MINIsOnTop fabulous fun for everyone, and you provided a great days food & entertainment.
Thanks also to all the “yellow shirts” – the volunteers that keep the wheels of MINIsOnTop turning …

MotoringFile

In case you are wondering … (from Gabes other web site):
My other weblog, MotoringFile, is currently down. We are currently upgrading the site to a new host. We had planned on having minimal downtime this weekend however, due to circumstances out of our control, things will take a bit longer than anticipated. We expect the site to be back up sometime on Sunday just in time to post some more juicy bits of info.

Seems like Gabe has finished with PowWeb too, like I did a while back!

Ipswich Ford “cruise night”

Thanks to Ipswich Ford! Margaret & I first went to this just after we arrived in USA back in 1996 – we bought our first (USA) car from them and they told us about this upcoming annual event.
There are loads more cars attending now – but Ipswich Ford still hosts the event at no charge and even provides free food & drink! There were loads of different cars there – about the only rule is “pre 1972” (so no MINIs) …
