Actually my wife and I both attended the 2003 meet and we're heading to Abby...as are several other Victoria Minis members,..but I don't think we'll make the 2103 event...unless someone brings our ashes in a jar.

If it's not Scottish....it's crap! (Cry of the Mini Tartan Owners' Clan)

I wish I could. Using all my vacation to go to England this year.

I did give my daughter a good start in life - attending a Mini Meet when she was less than a month old She may be able to set a record one day of being the only one from the 2003 Mini Meet attending the 2103 mini meet!

I had promised my son that we would go to MMW 1993 in Squaw Valley on completing his Mini.  Sadly we were a few weeks late so it debuted at the Portland ABFM on Labor Day weekend '93.

In 1996, I borrowed his Mini and finally made the trek to my first MMW in Long Beach, California...had a great time and a fun run up to San Jose after the Meet with Dr. Dave.

Have not missed attending a Mini Meet since.

Crossed the continent to MME in 2000 at Magog, Quebec in the 998cc Mini.  Nailed both MMW & MME in 2006 in the 1380 Mini & trailer.  And drove the Aussie Van to Mid-Ohio and Milwaukee last summer.

Have driven a Mini in more states & provinces than in any combination of other vehicles I have owned or rented.

Do I wish I had discovered the Mini when I was 16 in 1959.

Did you attend the meet at Mont Tremblant ?

Not a big deal, but how time flies when we're having fun....

Late in the game I will finally attend my 21st Mini Meet in Abbotsford/Chilliwack/Agassiz in B.C.'s fabulous Fraser Valley.

Can't count Brisbane Mini Muster, Mini '50 on Queensland's Sunshine Coast or Tasmania Mini Fest where the Aussie Mini owners share the same joy!
