A Nice End to a Fine Day...

The parking lot down the street in Elon at the Piedmont Ale House. Great fried pickles and fried green beans! The local micro brews and Euro-offerings were not bad either....this is a great place made even better with your MINI friends there.

And the Cake was Served....

What a nice cake...there was so much great food at this event I would have to fill the page with the descriptions. When MINI owners throw a party they throw a party....

The Burgers and Hot Dogs Were Grilling....

The Cat makes a Getaway...

I saw several dogs at the event, some with some nice clothes and a really cool Bulldog...but I didn't see any of them actually driving a MINI....

Snoopy Checking Out the MINIs

Snoopy is giving us the once over from the sky! Our cigar smoking canopy was setting up the smoke screen so I am not sure what he saw....

UFO Photo?

Here is another picture of the parking lot at the blast this afternoon. If you click on the picture and enlarge it you can see the small object in the sky behind in our group of MINIs. No it's not a UFO, it is the Met Life blimp!

The Tar Heel MINI Motoring Club August Blast...

The line-up in the parking lot today at Springwood Park in Burlington, North Carolina.
The Tar Heel MINI Motoring Club was having a Club Blast and it was a good one...someone said there were almost 100 cars there. I really lost count in the afternoon...
