21,648 miles - Mother II
Flashback to the end of summer... September 3, 2006 to the MINIs Take the States (MTTS) Wrap-up party. I met up with the good folks at nemini; BandD, Mighty-Mini, Bootsi, etc... and I got to meet up with RGMINI06 and Pauliewalnuts from the OL. The wrap-up party was fun. It was held at Exchange Place in Jersey City. Unlike other MINI events I've attended, there was no mass gathering of MINI-Coopers in Jersey City. It would have been impossible. The MINIs were spread out across the various parking lots in Jersey City's downtown area. Mine? It was home... I took the light rail heheheee. The weather was great. There was food, beer and vendors. The folks who did the run all had great stories to tell, however they also had that 'I just drove five-hours straight and I really need to rest' look. LOL.
... but not me. :(
I failed to do the Washington, DC - Jersey City, NJ run as originally planned. Due to an, er... oversight at work, I did not have the Friday before Labor Day off. I could have still made the run, but weather wasn't cooperating and I didn't want to rush down to DC in all that windy rain and I never reserved a room and I had no one to drive down with and wah wah wah!!
Excuse me? What's MINIs Take the States? Whoops, my bad. MTTS was to promote the 2006 MINI-Cooper S JCW GPs (John Cooper Works Grand Prix). Two thousand were built, and a lucky 415 made it to the states... and for some of these GPs, this event was to be their inagural run. LOL! It was also an opportunity for the rest of us to just motor! There were approximately eight GP owners picking up their new cars that day. The GPs were all lined up nicely, and I did manage to take a few shots. Anyway, go check out the MTTS official webpage from the corporate site. :)
Flickr pics... my pics.
Motor on everybody :)
