Do you know how hard it is to find a Hawaiian shirt that looks good on a monkey? Actually not that hard, monkeys look good in almost anything. It’s easy to come up with a design when you have a personality to attach it to.
Here’s how I remember it (this actually happens all the time- although my memory is faulty) our group was driving along on MTTS and we ended up getting separated. While many people imagine MINI Takes The States like any club drive because of the distances covered it isn’t a conga line of MINIs. It starts that way, everyone leaves in a line or two (sometimes escorted to the city limits by the police) and then everyone goes at their own pace. Some people take different routes, but in most cases people break off into groups and plan things like gas stops, lunch, and photo ops, together. Radios are a big help. This is how our group started- some days we’d lose someone, one of those days it was me, when I made it back we had added a few more to our group. MINIon #0330 was one of those, with a warm welcome and an infectious smile, MINIon #0330 always makes it a sunny day.
