Thank you to everyone who put this wonderful day together!  Josh and I had a great time.  With so many minis we ran out of memory on our camera card for the first time ever!  You can se the best of the bunch at the following link: www.joshandari.myphotoalbum.com 

Thanks again,

Ari

Congrats to all that organized the show.  It looked very well put together, with a fine representation of MINIs and Minis.  Honestly, I never knew there was such a variety of Minis in the Seattle area.

I let the digital camera at home, but I have a few photos I snapped in my brief appearance on site.  I'll upload them to my server at home tonight or tomorrow, rather than take up space in the forum (no jabs intended, truly).

I didn't get to meet up with just about anyone, but RobN, thanks for taking the time to chat. 

Eagerly awaiting my chance to show off my pride and joy.  Here's to a quick four more weeks, then the joy that comes from quick corning and zippy acceleration.  :)

Excellent!  I love it.  Makes the stretch H2 look ridiculous, IMO.  Of course, I also feel that an H2 just looks silly to begin with...

Dave,

I got the following from Minis of Washington.  Seems like they enjoyed our event as well:

From what I saw PSMINI did a great job, they were organized and
kept things flowing. The prizes they raffled off were great; no cheap
stuff. I had a blast......even joined PSMINI along with a few other
people, looks like PSMINI is going to be a great thing for MINI owners.

Again, Congrats on putting on a great event.

Dave, I also have a nice picture of your car.  Let me know if you want and I can also send you the hi-rez picture.

Speaking of Hummers:

 

As promised, the link to my few photos from the show.  Enjoy!

Here is a panorama of all our Minis.  I appologize in advance for the long download, but if I decrease the res any more, we are all dots!

Thanks! Yeah, I spent a good hour stitching and editing.  I had to remove a giant white van parked next to the mini's that was distracting too.  I checked out your site and you have taken some great photos. I really liked your sunset and seattle pics!

Thanks to all the organizers for putting on a great day and making a not-yet member feel so welcome. (The check is in the mail, guys, especially as I even won a raffle prize!)

I don't suppose there was much that could be done about the punishing music from the south end of the lot, which did indeed seem to drive some visitors off too quickly. But if KJR comes aboard again next year, you know, I'd rather listen to KJR oldies... at perhaps slightly reduced volume. Maybe they could do a remote broadcast from the scene?

Thanks to Dave, Mike, and the whole crew for putting on a well
organized, and fun event! (as usual) And thanks to everyone who voted
for me, I still can't belive I won!! By the way I was calling all my friends
and bragging, you would think my kid had just won the spelling bee. See
y'all next month!

I finally have the time to download the pics from my camera .. Didn't take many pics due to the glare from the sun, plus my DSLR died on me a few weeks earlier so I walked around with Sony point and shoot.  Anyway here are some pics
