Hello US Minis,
Was just stopping by to say hello and ask if you would allow us, or if you would post information on your club website about the Magical Mystery Mini Tour coming up September 5-7, 2008 in San Francisco. ALL MINI/Minis are welcome. Here is the outline of what's happening:
Attached please find the Magical Mystery Mini Tour 2008 registration. In order to be "officially" registered you must fill out the form and send it in along with your payment. You can pay by check or by paypal. (see below)
Just thought I'd chime in with some updates. It's still about 5 months away but we aleardy have 402 participants (270) Mini Coopers signed up. We hope that these numbers will grow quickly. We have a group of 10 coming from Italy, several from England, some from Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Canada. We are talking with a group from China that came to visit our club last year. So anyway it does prove to be and international event.
We now have a well known Beatles Tribute Band (
www.the-sun-kings.com ) that will be playing Saturday night. We will not have the Abba band. This will be on the Great Lawn (approx. 126,500 sq ft) with a lighted stage and the San Francisco nightime skyline as a backdrop.
Dinner: Here is a little preview of what's cookin' for dinner at the Magical Mystery Mini Tour on Treasure Island. Due to popular demand, great food, and competitive pricing, SF Deli and Catering will provide the Saturday Night Sunset BBQ dinner and Sunrise breakfast on Ocean Beach. SF Deli has also offered to provide no-host / on-going food service throughout the event.
Saturday Sunset BBQ Dinner Menu
Hand Rubbed Tri Tip BBQ’D Over Oak
Hand Rubbed Chicken BBQ’D Over Oak
SF Deli's Special BBQ’D Baked Beans
Caesar Salad
San Francisco Sourdough Dinner Rolls
Horseradish, BBQ Sauce, Butter, Salt & Pepper
All above served buffet style on disposable service with seating in the main tent.
On Sunday morning we will have a sunrise beach bonfire and breakfast on Ocean Beach (Pacific Ocean Side) before we take off on the "Steve McQueen Memorial Drive" through the street of San Francisco. Sunday Morning Breakfast Menu
Mixed Pastries
Mixed Muffins
Doughnuts
Bagels & Cream Cheese
Coffee Regular & Decaf
Tea
Orange Juice
Milk
Sunday afternoon will include a drive through the Santa Cruz Mountains and along the coast.
Saturday morning will be a drive across the Golden Gate Bridge, up the Marin Headlands, a stop on top of Mt. Tam, and a drive to Stinson Beach.
Due to logistics, we have dropped the "Pinks All Out" portion at Infineon, but will have routes and visits to several Sonoma & Napa wineries including the Andretti Winery (Yes Mario Andretti).
We will have a 130,000 square foot main event tent. This will be used for lounging and eating. We will have several "infamous" Classic Mini Cooper race Cars on display. We have brought in 24 port-a-potties, washing stations, generators, a band stage, lighting, 24/7 security, parking, etc.
Please feel free to send me an email if you have any questions. (
