PSMINI Triple X Car Show !!!

 

(edited to add the following):

 

Thanks are due to numerous people who donated time to make this a great show.  I won't try to name all the people who helped make this such a good time because I would forget some, but special thanks are due to Ashley, Leanne, Jack and Linda, Mavourneen, and Karin and Karen for setting up and taking down, manning the registration table, and hauling tables, chairs and pop-ups to and from the site (I know there were many others helping, and I apologize for not listing your names individually, but please know your help and assistance was greatly appreciated!).  Thanks also to our vendors and sponsors for their generous donations to the raffle.  Once again  a GREAT EVENT and a great venue to catch up with old friends and new friends. 

 

And now, all of you should pat yourselves on the back for participating in the show, because this is what makes it so much fun for MINI/Mini owners and and non-owners - looking and talking about our cars.   

Thank you so much to everyone who helped put on this event, and to everyone who brought out their MINIs & Minis!

 

Here some pics of the day (nice photos, Kurt!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We did misplace our cover for our folding chair.  Chair is green with yellow stripe, and the cover is green,  any one seen it or know anything about it?? Please let us know,  I'm the other half of Hapa-Haole by the way.

Thanks again, Steve

Our vendors were great!  Thanks so much to the crew from Seattle MINI, CravenSpeed, Tow Mater, and Liberty Mutual (who partners with MINI USA to provide OEM replacement parts - including windshields!).  Tow Mater was a special treat and I hope everyone had a chance to get the pictures they wanted.  Jack and his wife did an awesome job getting the shots everyone wanted and are great people.  So nice of Kellen to bring up the Electric MINI and glad you got a ride in it, Kurt!

 

Sorry we missed you Fizgig - we ended up moving the raffle and awards up an hour to beat the squall and allow people to head home a little earlier (Seahawks, Obama, etc....).

 

So much hard work was done to pull this off.  John O'Melveny and his right hand, Mavourneen, worked very hard to oversee the whole event and managed to get us a great deal on those trophies which were spectacular.  (Would someone post a picture of theirs?)  Others worked hard in the background - Leanne handled the pre-registrations, Karin handled the finances and helped getting everyone parked properly (as soon as I quit interferring), Kurt also was on board in getting prizes and assisting in all the setup and teardown.  Add to that all the volunteers that assisted us day of in doing registration, setup and teardown and just generally being there whenever we needed them and it all went well!  Mavourneen is the Queen of Registrations and Ballot Counting and she had several great people helping in those tasks with Ashley and Leanne being there all day and Brenda stepping in during lunch.  They all worked very hard to make sure that ran efficiently!  John (Slyderone), Steve, Dave, Brenda, Karen, and others all were on hand to make sure we got things set up on time and broken down at the end.  It's awesome to have the resources we did!  And who can ever forget the great job Fred did with the music and announcements!!

 

I also appreciate the time you all took in answering questions about your cars, the club, and making new people feel welcome.  YOU are what makes this club great!  I'm so proud of all the winners. You certainly earned your victories!

 

 

 

We Missed YOU!  And, Mini Charley & Stella too!

 

Glad to see Martin has enjoyed his track time though.

 

Hope to see ya'll soon.

 

Cheers!

 

 

A special shout out to Bruce who did ALL the work detailing MINIMNT to get her ready for the show.  I literally could not, would not have done it without him.  Love you, Bruce!

Some long shots to show the great turnout.

Moving in a bit.  Also a closeup of the Cravenspeed Electric, and of the beautiful Checkmate!

Classics!  Entered, For Sale, and just attending.

I still can't believe I won a second place ribbon and the "Bone Stock" trophy!
