Rub a Dub Dub --
MINIs in a Tub -- Recap
We departed from the Gee Creek rest stop with 18 cars
and high hopes that the weather would cooperate. Then,
we received a call at milepost 65 we would encounter
snow. We asked ourselves: Would we be up to the
challenge? Was it worth it just to make our cars shiny?
Of course, the answer was yes! We would do anything for
our cars. We trudged through approximately 30 miles of
snow knowing that towards the end the snow would stop.
We had a secret weapon: our illustrious member-at-large,
Tim van Veen was ahead of us calling back weather
conditions. Griot’s Garage was very hospitable and
provided us with hot coffee, donuts, pizza and then
showed us how to make our cars beautiful inside and out.
We would like to give a big thanks to Garrett Hinesley,
Tim van Veen and Griot’s for a great event.

MINI Takes The States
Two years ago, MINI Takes the States motored
coast-to-coast with thousands of MINI Owners and enthusiasts
joining up for a legendary motoring extravaganza. This year,
though, everyone hoped even more folks could get in on the fun.
So MINI owners voted to visit four U.S. cities for four separate
weekends of good times, including the chance to drive a MINI on
an aggressive autocross course.
