These are nice photos! Thanks

salexander .. why can/t  ML answer for himself.. ?????? ML is either a lic dealer /broker or he is NOT..   I would NEVER buy a car from a cuber / TICK like  ML... like someone would be STONED or STUPIC enough to buy that  white POS moke with green top in NYC.that he is flogging... .?? what a joke. of a moke.. ..  later bc

BC this is not really a car selling thread...we are all trying to ignore you, as usual. If you want to find out about Michaels business structure, write him a letter or buy one of his clients cars. Otherwise, if you have any MMW photos, you can post them here and put in a "shameless" plug if you feel you must.

ML. cat got your tongue ?? are you are selling cars again with NO dealer or brokers lic AGAIN?? later bc

The video that metalwright  (Chris) did of Mini Meet East 2017 has some great drone-camera footage in it:

At MMW, there was a drone flying around the autocross/Funkhana area. Is there drone-camera footage from that one?

Did anyone else shoot video at Mini Meet West they could share?

In some earlier years at MMW, Josh White did some really professional videos of the meets. I still have a couple of them. I didn't see Josh this year?

How many Minis/MINIs were registered at MMW this year? And how many were classics? Any idea how many others showed up?

On the MME photo thread yesterday, Paul Strieby reported that the closest count so far had it at 72 Classics, 16 New MINI.

Any updates to final counts?

hey ML.  you did NOT answer Dr Minis questions about being an EX lic dealer and EX lic broker..  how are you selling cars LEGALLY without EITHER now?/ later bc  ps I am  LIC NC dealer.. 

Thanks, I really enjoyed the Mini Meet - a double thumbs-up to the organizers and volunteers! I'm looking forward to Mini Meet West 2018 in Oregon.

Does anyone else have MMW photos they would like to share?

Michael,
Thank you for the great photos and your support of Mini Meet West 2017.

alex.. here is the USA. .if you are selling cars and making PROFIT  . you  must be BONDED  ( usually $50.000) and have proper Dealer lic.. and dealer lot.. no such thing as ML is doing now as escrow service..  it is a FELONY..in some  US states.. In NC . you can NOT even have a consignment car listed for sale. if you do NOT have it on YOUR delaer lot and US title in hand.. and consignment contract...  later bc

So he's an escrow service as well then ?

I never met or spoken to the buyer of my rally replica 997 Cooper until i got my money afterwards. He did acted as a mediator, protected both myself and the buyer. I did my homework too and always made sure my paperwork is always good. I was the seller so i made sure i had guarantees that my money was available within the day before the car went on the car transport. I was butt hurt about that deal with that cheap Cooper S that got away but it's all business.

I think Miniguy just acts as an introductory service between potential buyers and sellers - any transactions are done between the trading parties and he stays at arms length from that. 

There must be a fee involved, the size of which and who pays it I know not, but the setup seems to work quite well with many happy clients.

These are nice photos! Thanks Michael.

Sorry I missed you, Michael.  I had to work all week but I was able to get to the show for a few hours.  

I took lots of pictures but I think MiniGuy.com has it covered! he even got a shot of me...........................

dr mini. good point  ?? here in NC as most states you MUST be lic dealer and have proper  used car lot . with office,and  have zoning..  NO such thing a LIC broker IN NC or anything  like that  ( there is wholesale dealer lic.. BUT you can ONLY sell to other lic dealer.. later bc

Great photos! I followed the link to your page and was wondering about the text. It says that you used to be a licensed dealer and broker but all the cars are for sale by owner? Does this mean you're no longer brokering Minis? Also, as weird as California is, does one have to be licensed to broker cars? Seems a bit too much government to me, but I guess it's all about the money.

Thought you'd enjoy seeing some of the photos from the Show-and-Shine at Mini Meet West 2017.

Thanks again to the organizers of the Mini Meet - GREAT job!

Of the 100+ cars registered, most were classic Minis.
