 Friday,
February 6th:
In the early morning, there were still only a few MINIs
at the event, but Dunc and Bryan set up our display and
talked to the other early arrivals—maybe 25 cars. Friday
afternoon 10-15 cars went motoring on a Mountain Drive up
into the snow, about 100 miles altogether. Friday night
dinner was at Aladdin's World-Wide Buffet, holy smoke what
a spread. By suppertime there were almost 100 people lined
up to eat…more than expected. Bryan and Duncan were some
of the last to be let in the door!
Everybody
over 21 got five free chips at the Casino to play for a
remote-controlled MINI Cooper after dinner (they didn't
win, boo-hoo) but then all the MINIs got together for cruising
up and down the Strip. I bet that was a sight.
Saturday,
February 7th: The boys got up early to set up shop again
(our trailer and tent full of ALTA aftermarket
performance parts). Most people who were awake took off
for another Fun Drive. At midday, people went out to Sunset
Park across town for a Meet and Greet with vendors and lots
of car talk.  Our
little teardrop trailer was the center of attention.
The
MINI FINI people were there, showing great parts that are
still under development, so they don't have much to sell
yet. Fun to look at, though! MINI MANIA was there as well
with a big RV and trailer. (We think our Lil Schmutzie and
trailer are a lot cuter!)
