i dont think Prestige MINI could have been any happier with the turn out today. i personally expected maybe 20-25 cars but, there was well more than that. perfect driving weather and although the route wasnt the best it definately wasnt the worst. minus Clausland Mountain Rd. which chipped the hell out of my freshly tinted $400 a piece headlights but, i digress. beautiful weather, beautiful cars and open road (kinda)
today was a good day. anyone who missed out...well, you did just that, missed out.
anyway, i arrived solo and on time i may add and i basically remained solo for the majority of the day. this was my second time going to a MINI event with out the "crew" and i must say that the MINI community is a fine group of people. all were friendly and outgoing well, minus the one guy who almost started a fight but, thats another story.
i know, i know, i mentioned it in the headline but, really, who cares? some people are just idiots and deserve to have coffee thrown on them (not by me by the way). :doh:
well, i took some pics with my treo and here they are. sorry fellas, i didnt take any pics of the MINI receptionists. they didnt like me to much....maybe it was the tattoos...who knows.
anyway:
cleanest MINI award goes to:
shazaam!!!! (said in my best Richard Simmons voice) award goes to:
hottest vert award clearly goes to:
wish i had an actual camera, wide angle lens and a ladder:
pullin out. again, good camera and a wide angle lens but, hey all i have a is a treo. :oops:
back at the dealership. DOPAMINE cameo:
i award this one...best in show. DOPAMINE cameo :doh:
a lil booty action for ya.
well....thats it. taking pics with a camera phone is no fun so, this is all i took. i didnt want pics of random people eating hot dogs so, i refrained from shooting inside the dealership.
oh, i might as well add the DRAMA of the day:
ill try and keep this as short as possible for entertainment reasons. well, a couple of us were admiring the black OG Mini right in front of the dealerships front doors when a couple in a late model full size oldsmobile or buick pull up and into a spot. a gentleman was standing in the spot that they were pulling into so he moved so they could pull in. the lady driving pulled in and then started to pull out...the guy seeing this stepped back into the spot thinking they were just making a u-turn but, apparently that wasnt the case. so she honked the horn at the guy in the way and he moved over enough so they could pull in.....thats when things got a lil bit weird. *edit...i will say that the white gentleman said "there is no need to honk at me like that. i was moving" and added "i though you were pullin out." the passenger, a tall african man about 46 years old and by african i mean native african, opens his window and after hearing what the white guy said is already furious and yelling. he snapped on this guy and gets out of the car and without a second to spare begins to scream and i mean SCREAM at this guy in an african accent how he should have moved more and "what the hell is your f*ckin problem" and so on and i mean this guy was heated.
at this point the poor guys wife tells the black guy that he needs to relax and the black guy just goes off on her " shut the F up", "ill kick both your A's" starts shoving the guy, putting his finger in their faces and all that...you get the picture. this goes on for about 2 minutes. which is a long time if you think about it. a crowd has form and i at this point have moved closer and was ready to jump on that friend and put my cigarette out in his eye if he swung.
finally and i think the highlight of the story. the white guy who was standing in the way. tries to offer up some "peace" by just backing down from the black guy at which point it was obvious that the black guy thought he was superior and in the right. BUT, the white guy went to just walked around the black guy when he FAKE spilled his cup of coffee on him. it was so obvious it was fake i must say it was more of a throw than a spill (rotf)...it left the black guy so stunned and furious that he froze up. the look on his face was priceless...he struggled with some english, babbled a couple of words and ran inside to clean off his $12 nautica sweater he purchased from TJ MAX. as to add insult to injury, everytime i saw the black friend i laughed and shook my head at him...i know, i shouldn't have but, he deserved it AND considereing he didnt own a MINI he had no business treating one of our own like that. right or wrong. it ruined his whole day...go me. (rotf)
its one of those...you had to be there stories. sorry so boring. :roll:
