MINI Peabody is apparently trying to sell their unwanted MC40 on eBay – see this link! I wonder how close to the $27,000 MSRP their reserve is … I wonder if it will sell? I took some close-up pics of the car recently when I visited MINI Peabody:
Personally, I think they should have made only 100 or so instead of the 1000 that they are planning; also the price should be about $25,000 … if this car sells, it will prove me wrong!
On Friday afternoon I headed south through the (slow) Boston traffic to Falmouth, Cape Cod, to meet Steve (“Cape Cod Mini”) and other MINI owners and join in the Headlights For Lighthouses event.
Friday evening six MINIs got together for a group photo, and then an enjoyable evening of food and chat (GBMINI, Ed/MaxaMini, BobbieJ, Steve/CapeCodMini, Rick & Laurie / ActualSize, John); Saturday morning some of us headed up to a Honey Dew Donuts near the Bourne bridge, and met more arriving MINIs including Diane, down from Maine – then back to Falmouth to join the lighthouse event:
From there we headed all the way around Cape Cod to Provincetown; we did not reach the lighthouse there, but we did put on an entertaining parade through the town center to much approval from pedestrians we passed:
A very fine day – my great thanks to Steve for leading us around his home turf.
At the recent BMWCCA ADSS I had a camcorder filming both inside and outside the car. Unfortunately I don’t have the video editing skills needed to put pictures to music, etc (for that, I get help from Keith at MINI Peabody).
Anyway. here is my drive of the track, with Peter (instructor and MINI owner) giving me excellent advice on how to improve, which I am clearly taking no notice of – too busy concentrating!
