This event is open to all MINI friends. Lets get together and have some fun.

I climbed up to the top of the Statue of Liberty in 4th grade.  My legs still hurt. 

Cool, Sounds like a nice run to close the summer out, and begin the fall events

Hint...hint.... NYC won't be in any part of the caravan and the meet. The gathering place and the ferry terminal will be at Liberty State Park in NJ, just off NJ turnpike. 



Group of participants in our area will be meeting up near Baltimore area in the morning and will cruise together up north.

Other MINI friends from DE, PA, NJ and NY will join the caravan along the way. We are working on planning the route and the meeting points at this stage. Stay tuned for the detail. :)

Sounds like a trip up North is in the future.

The one and only time I was in the Big Apple, there was a giant bust of King Kong at the bottom of the WTC. That was so cool. Fake broken sidewalks too. No cameras, no Jessica Lange 

That was one of the best trips I'd ever taken.

Have you reserved the ferry ticket yet?

Hey, so are we the only ones going to represent HR MINI on this run.
Also the Crown tickets are sold out.
