Hey Folks!  

I put together this cideo from our trip to CMU56.  Hope you all enjoy it.  Unfortunatly my drone footage wasnt good enough to make it into the cut.

Don't forget there was also a K series Honda powered car there as well.

Hugh - check your email - I think the arches you're referring to are the ones I was selling (but still have if you're interested).

That was a great time.  I think I set a new state record today by hydroplaning across 2/3rds of the state on the way home.  Rained the entire drive home.  I did go through the Pisgah National Forest on Rt276 from Waynesville to Brevard and that was a fun drive on the way home.  The rest of the day was spent on 74 and wasn't nearly as fun.

Wow, did we ever have a great time, all while dodging the weather the whole time. Rain every night, rain every morning, great driving weather every day! Had great weather all the way back to Charleston, and got everything put away while the severe thunderstorms were moving in. Huge thunder and lightning overhead while I'm posting this! The Mini gods are at work. I hope everyone else has made it safely home.

EXCEPTIONAL TIME AT Mini 56!  

  What a proper and perfect way to actally use and enjoy the Mini's we love.  This year = 2 touring groups( Spirited and Scenic)   and  I KNOW  - some floorboards got some new pressings from passengers feet in the Spirited group.   Awesome roads- Great scenery Could not have been any better !!

Another GREAT event by Classic Minis United and all the volunteers that help put it together. It takes MANY and a huge Thank you to all !! It was also Great catching up with all Mini Friends none the less Near and Far! 

Small album I have from my photos-  Too much driving and not alot of photos.  

   More to come from other mini'ers = including video + drone airal photos and video! Alot to process!
