Classic Mini Tech Talk Added: Tuning Twin SU Carburetors!

Let us know you're coming -- RSVP for the car show, swap meet,
tech seminars and/or fun run by June 14 and be entered in a
drawing to win a $25 Mini Mania Gift Certificate!

Swap Meet starts at 8 a.m.
Car show judging starts at 1 p.m.

Join us for two days of fun at Mini Mania as we celebrate the Third Annual Nevada City Adventure! We've had great turnouts the past two years, and this year is shaping up to be the best yet. We welcome ALL classic British cars -- Classic Mini, Morris Minors, Healeys, MG's, Triumphs, you name it -- as well as New MINIs. And it's all FREE!

Along with our standard main events -- a good old fashioned Swap Meet and a British Car Show -- this year we'll be presenting technical seminars for both Classic and New MINIs. Sunday will be dedicated to a Fun Run through the beautiful Sierra Nevada Foothills.

The people's choice Show-n-Shine classes will include Best Classic Mini, New MINI, Morris Minor, and Roadster. And we'll repeat the popular "Worst of Show" category, open to any classic British car in ANY (or "BAD") condition that makes it from its home port to Mini Mania under its own power!

Even though this event is FREE, we do appreciate pre-registration so we can plan ahead. So we'll sweeten the deal a little: Entries for the Swap Meet and/or Car Show who RSVP by June 14 will be entered in a drawing to win a Mini Mania gift certificate! The drawing will take place on Saturday; you must be present to win.

And of course, Mini Mania will be open for business on Saturday! Pre-order your parts by noon on Friday, June 20, and receive a 15% discount on all non-sale merchandise. All orders placed on Saturday will receive a 10% discount on regularly-priced items.

Here's our RSVP Form -- let us know you're coming!

Since this is a two-day event, we suggest that those arriving from out of town make lodgings reservations well in advance -- Nevada City is a popular tourist destination any time of the year!

A very informal affair designed to simply allow you to enjoy your car and the great roads of Nevada County! We'll be driving a beautiful stretch of Hwy 49 to Downieville; order lunch at one of the local restaurants, or you can BYOL.
