Count me in!
It will be good to see a few familiar faces! CINIMIN & WOODSTOCK: you may remember me as the high school navigator for my mother's 2008 silver w/ black stripes for the overnight Gorge rallye ~4 years back. After that rallye I bought a mini of my own and got swept away with school and work. I thought it was time that I rejoin PS Mini! This will be my third showing at the Tulip Rallye and I have invited two rookies along for their first taste of a mini caravan / rallye. Can't wait to see you all tomorrow morning!

So glad so many are planning to be there - even at the last minute, we are glad to have you!! The MINIs are always a hit and it makes for an impressive parade when we enter. Don't forget food contributions for the food bank and make sure you have a full tank of gas before leaving on the rallye. Tatiana: We do indeed remember you! We shared a very nice evening at dinner with you and your Mom and then had the deer jump over the car on the way back on the back road! That was a little too exciting. We'll look forward to seeing you again! |

What event was this? One of the 26 different times we took the group to Stonehenge or something else? Anyway, a car full of sleepy, slightly sick Hart's will join you all at Smokey Point. Bruce |

Bruce - that was one of the "Run To The Gorge" events put on by the British Car Club - back roads all the way to Hood River with an over night stay and a nice dinner.

Good morning PSMINI, it's Tulip Time!

Ok, so obviously having the Harts "sick and tired" didn't seem to phase them!! Next time, we'll try tying one arm behind their backs! What a team! Congratulations to the Hart family who braved it through and won! So proud to have them as members of PSMINI! Special thanks and a job well done to Ashley for leading us in! Despite the weather, we had a good time and enjoyed seeing so many of you again and meeting new people as well. My team took an 'exploratory run' on some new routes which were not a part of the planned rallye, but fun nonetheless! We had a blast and will be back next year!

Congratulations to "Team WILD" - and everyone else actually. Big thanks to all who made the traditional MINI Grand Entrance an ongoing and big part of the Tulip Rally. Hope every one has as much fun as we did.

We had a great time at our first Tulip Rallye! Our hard luck story was that we ended up in Applebee's after, thinking we had enough time for an adult beverage before the awards. Oops....guess not. :)
Loved seeing all of our cars cruising along the highway--we are a good looking group. And I'm inspired to give Enzo a few more personality traits. :) Thanks again for a great day! Michele and Kevin and "Enzo."

Congrats to Bruce and Stacie!!! I was a little bummed, again, to not be out amongst the tulpis, but understand that traffic can play a part on that. Regardless, was fun to see all the other MINIs and Minis out and about!

WAY TO GO, BRUCE & STACIE!!! THANK YOU to the MG Club for putting on this event each year! AND to Our PSMINI Super Stars Here are some snaps. Our Fearless Leaders!
And lots of great looking MINIs wherever you looked!
Adorable!
It was Super Windy in the Tulip fields, and, also, I was told twice by a motorcycle officer to "move along" or I'd be ticketed for stopping. But I got some drive-by shots from the MINI window.

In the interest of clearing up any confusion, here is a picture (courtesy of Ryan's Facepage post) of the real PSMINI Tulip Rallye winners:
 The rallye masters awarded the Hart family the PSMINI trophy, but we were standing near the Wilds when the answers were revealed and realized that we both got a score of +60 (4 incorrect). When we got our rallye sheets back, theirs had been scored a +58. Independent reviewing revealed that the Rallye masters had made a math error as their rallye sheet had been "graded" correctly and simply had the number of errors added incorrectly. Steve (BurnerS) and his friend (who's name I forget at the moment) also had a correctly graded rallye sheet and a score of +60, but had more miles and time than us. Turning to the front page and the distance and time tiebreakers, the Wilds beat us by two miles and 30 minutes, making them the real winners. We were happy to give the trophy to the real winners- it just wouldn't have felt right to win on a scoring error. So to summarize, the Wilds took first, the Harts took second and Steve took third, all with the same score but separated by mileage and time. Congratulations from the Harts to the other teams that essentially tied for first, especially Steve who has apparently been doing this for a very long time and who finally got what was essentially a winning score. What we can learn from this is: 1-Time and distance do matter on rallyes like this. 2-It's never wrong to check the scoring and addition of the rallye masters. Remember, they all drive and work on MGs and are subjected to a lot of toxic fluids and fumes on a daily basis. There's no way this can improve their cognitive abilities. 3-They seem to now be working out of a fancy new red trailer with much sponsorship on it. Perhaps PSMINI can sponsor some improved lighting.

Thanks, Jack! CONGRATULATIONS, TEAM WILD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and to TEAM HART & TEAM STEVE, and to ALL of the WINNERS! Bruce, I loved your "What can we learn from this" !!! P.S. I was wondering who should get the 'Long-distance" Award for PSMINI . . . was it "Dave's Not Here"???? Who came the farthest? Would be fun to know . . . Inquiring minds want to know, or just have too much time on their hands to think about stuff. Cheers! |

Thank you everyone for coming out to Take the Tulips this year! It was smiles all around I'm so happy to have met so many new faces and see some of you that I've not seen, well, since the last Tulip Rally! Don't be a stranger and come out to more events!
I would have posted photos here but basically came home and slept. I was a very exhausted tuliper. Was up early this morning planning our next adventure which we will be announcing this week. The motoring just keeps on coming. Stay tuned for that. Until then, our next one is April 26th for the F56 launch. Then the next day we will be back at Seattle MINI for lunch and Bulldogs with Bulldog Haven NW. Our next drive (a follow the leader type rally) is May 3rd and our May dinner is May 7th in Federal Way. All event dates are on the Home Page. Congratulations to the Hart family who won. And then congratulations to the Wild family who really won!  It was very much a PSMINI heartfelt gesture to recognize the scoring error and relinquish the plaque. You're all big winners in my book! I look forward to seeing everyone really soon! Welcome to the motoring season. .... ohhh and thanks for the pics everyone. They look great! Edited by ipeverywhere - April/20/14 at 4:21pm |
